When I create an Android project in Eclipse and send it to my device for debugging, the app works fine but when I try to uninstall it, I get a strange message. Below are the steps to recreate my problem:
Eclipse Version: 4.2.0 Build id: I20120608-1400
ADT Version: 2.0.3 v201208082019-427395
- Run Eclipse
- Click File->New->Project...
- Select Android/Android Application Project
- Click Next.
- Enter Application Name: Test
- Build SDK: Android 4.1
- Minimum Required SDK: API 8 Android 2.2
- Enable: Create custom launcher icon / Create project in workspace
- Click Next thrice.
- Click Finish.
- Connect 4.1 Android device to computer via USB.
- Click Run->Run from menu.
- Select "Android application" on popup the "Run As" popup.
- Click Ok.
- MainActivity application runs on device.
- Click the Back button on the Android device.
- Open applications on device and find "MainActivity" app.
- Long press the MainActivity icon and drag to trash.
Here's the puzzling part:
Instead of getting a standard
Do you want to uninstall this app?
I get a dialog with this text:
MainActivity is part of the following app: Test Do you want to uninstall this app?
- Why do I get this message instead of the standard one?
- Why is MainActivity the name of the app when I specifically stated the name of the app is "Test"?
