安装错误：INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE Android Phonegap

Question

Phonegap app is not installing on real device LG500 .

Error is: Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE

Any suggestion ?

Answer 1

You need to do two things after which this error will be resolved.

1. In your AndroidManifest.xml file add android:installLocation="preferExternal" within your manifest tag.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.packagename.appname"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" 
android:installLocation="preferExternal">

2. More importantly, clear the cache data in your device. Goto settings -> storage -> click on cached data. This will clear the cache and free the space.

3. Reconnect your device, clean your project and again run it on the device. The project will now run on your device.

Answer 2

如果已安装该应用程序，请从打算安装的设备中删除该应用程序，然后重试。

Answer 3

This is so dumb, but in my case the problem was the following: There was enough free disk space to store the app, but there was no free 'space' on my home screen to fit the icon - all places in the Grid are full. I solved this by adding a new 'page' to the home screen, so that there is space to fit the app icon.

Took me a few hours to solve - Using an Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2

Answer 4

在您的Android清单中，只需在<manifest>标记中添加<manifest ... android:installLocation="preferExternal"...>

Removal of the Cordova android package from the temp directory helped:

• adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk

Alternatively you can see which other packages are in the dir and try to remove a release build for example:

• adb shell ls /data/local/tmp/

• adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/android-release-unsigned.apk
