I install my application from memory card. It replaces my another app

Question

I have developed two apps for Android. I copy them to memory card of my LG P500 via USB. I use AppsInstaller for that. First app installation is okay. I see it's icon and can run it.

Installation of the second app replaces the first. I don't see the icon of my second app in Android. I only see the icon of the first app. But touching it runs the second app.

First app has icons in appropriate project folder as

res/drawable-hdpi/icon.png res/drawable-ldpi/icon.png res/drawable-mdpi/icon.png

I use myApp2.png for icons in second project folder.

Nevertheless 2-nd replaces the 1-st app. What's wrong in my project?

Thanks.

Yes. The package name is the same. But is was creating during creation of Android project. — nms

Its because your Package Name is same for both of the application, So just change the PackageName.

Thanks. I will change it. But I see it is not easy. It seems I have to create the project from scratch again.

nopes, you can do it easily. Refactor your packagename by right clicking on src's package and also change the packagename in ManifestFile.

I did refactor of the package name. I tryed to run on emulator. I got the following error in IntelliJ IDEA:DDM dispatch reg wait timeout Can't dispatch DDM chunk 52454151: no handler defined Can't dispatch DDM chunk 48454c4f: no handler defined Can't dispatch DDM chunk 46454154: no handler defined Can't dispatch DDM chunk 4d505251: no handler defined
