INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY error in Android 2.2 API Level 8

Question

heya,

maybe somebody can help me out. i'm trying to add a google maps within my android app. if i want to run my app in emulator, i get the error: "Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY". of course i read about what my problem, the reason seems to be that the target device doesn't have the needed libs, but i'm not able to solve my problem :-(

in my manifest i've set the permissions:

uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"

Additionally i defined the maps lib under my application-tag:

uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"

Furthermore i obtained an api maps key for my certificate md5-key and use this in my layout:

<com.google.android.maps.MapView
    android:id="@+id/mapview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:apiKey="07ldFF5M8bvwFSB2DeeUIIvOhyKLNpWkFlTbS6w"/>

i don't think that my problem is within my app, could it bee an "target-problem"? i try to compile vs. Android 2.2 i also tried to create a new AVD with Target "Google APIs (Google Inc)", but i cannot run my app with this AVD, don't ask me why :-((

i hope anybody can tell me how to solve this problem, thx in advance if you want to have a look at my source, you can get it here:

Answer 1

You need to compile against "Android 2.2 Google APIs", not just "Android 2.2". You choose this in your IDE as the target Android platform.

Answer 2

thanks mathias, a noob problem, i'm sorry. now i can run my app, but have an runtime error if i switch to my google maps tab - unfortunatly i cannot see anything in logcat. the only thing i see in debug view ist the message:

ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread$ActivityRecord,Intent) line 2663: Source not found.

Can anybody explain me what's the problem is? thanks in advance, michbeck
