of app size, or how much storage is available. Rebooting the target device fixes the problem briefly, but it soon comes back. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of message board posts from people asking why the problem occurs, but the folks at Google are frustratingly silent on the issue. There is a simple workaround. If your test device is running Android 2.2 or later then add the android:installLocation attribute to your application's manifest file, with the value install_failed_insufficient_storage emulator android studio "preferExternal".

I have been looking for answer to this question here and found quiet a lot of answers, which is not acceptable, because: 1. They are all talking about emulator, in my case its real test device 2. Community suggested to increase storage, so there will not be anymore install failed insufficient like this message -- what i did is i deleted few apps/games in device, so it helped, but after few runs from eclipse directly to device, the message started to appear again. As at the beginning app (apk) uploads to the device and then installing, I assume eclipse cant delete previous app (apk), so it keeps copying the new ones without deleting the old ones. Is there any way to clean that apks, or im thinking totally wrong. Help. Thanks, and so sorry if the answer is somewhere here and i didnt find it. android share|improve this question asked Nov 5 '12 at 14:49 Daler 4471924 Reinstalling the App does not clean Data which was generated by your app. So does your App create lot of data on the device? Then clean the App data in the settings. Btw have you checked if your phone has relay no storage space left or if this is a bug? –Christian S. Nov 5 '12 at 15:02 @Christian S. My app doesnt create any additional data. It is 10 mb. And yes, my phone really has no free space on internal storage, so what i did is i d
2012 by Lars Vogel If you work with the Android Emulator and deploy to it for a while you may receive the following error message in the LogCat View. Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE The reason for this is that the emulator default to 64MB for internal storage. You can override this in the Eclipse launch configuration for your Android application with the additional parameter -partition-size 1024. Alternative you can add the following line to the "config.ini" file of you AVD definition. This file is stored in the user folder in .android/avd and then under your specific device definition. For example: hw.lcd.density=160 sdcard.size=200M skin.name=HVGA skin.path=platforms/android-15/skins/HVGA hw.cpu.arch=arm abi.type=armeabi-v7a hw.cpu.model=cortex-a8 vm.heapSize=48 snapshot.present=true hw.ramSize=512 image.sysdir.2=system-images/android-15/armeabi-v7a/ image.sysdir.1=add-ons/addon-google_apis-google_inc_-15/images/armeabi-v7a/ disk.dataPartition.size=1024 I hope this helps. I have also ask the Android development team to increase the default value: Bug report.
