I have a problem with installing an App on a device. It is a Samsung Galaxy Mini running Android 2.2.1 sdk version 8. The app is running fine in the emulator. Now I wanted to test it on a real device, however, I cannot get it installed. The installation starts, but ends with a message APPLICATION NOT INSTALLED. I checked the logs and there seems to be some problem with custom fonts. The log says:

10-13 19:07:30.513 E/PackageParser( 177): Package xxxxx has no certificates at entry assets/fonts/LiberationMono-Bold.ttf; ignoring!

Why does Android want a certificate from me for that fonts? And why does it not want the certificate in the emulator? Please help.

Your app is probably not properly signed, or (less likely), this is a bug in Galaxy Mini. Each APK (jar) entry has to be signed. Clean, re-export and try again. You can check the signatures/certificate with the jarsigner -verbose -verify -certs your.apk.

Does it have to be signed? I mean, I don't want to sell in the Android Market. It is just a custom app. I exported it through the option in Eclipse - Export Unsigned APK.

Of course Every Android .apk needs to be signed if it is going to be installed on a phone, even if you're not installing through the Market.

Your fonts have not been signed properly, I think you can manually try this

jarsigner -verbose -keystore C:\Users\Wesley\.android\debug.keystore -storepass android D:\test.apk androiddebugkey
