Cannot install Android app in my device from Android Studio

Question

I build a very simple example using Android Studio 1.1 Beta4 and trying to deploying it in my device which is a Samsung S4 (Int) that runs a Cyanogenmod12 ROM. I always get the following error:

Waiting for device.
Target device: samsung-gt_i9505-dd755d6b
Uploading file
    local path: C:\workspaces\androidws\ButtonsExample\app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug.apk
    remote path: /data/local/tmp/com.kpor.android.buttonsexample
Installing com.kpor.android.buttonsexample
DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.kpor.android.buttonsexample"
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.kpor.android.buttonsexample
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]

The output from adb shell df is:

I cannot figure out what causes this error. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Finally, I figured out what happened... I read a post (link below) and all I had to do is:

Go to: Settings > Apps > Click on the menu and then select Preferred install location.

I changed that from "Let the system decide" to "Internal device storage". After the change I was able to install any APK file using Android Studio.
