Parallel installs of the same app on an Android handset

Question

For my testing of my app I wan't to be able to install a current version and a test version on my handset. In that way I will always be able to test the newest revision in the field, but also be certain to have the fall-back of the tested code. My app is using a SQLite database which must be accessible to both versions. I have tried changing the name of the app, but that just changes the displayed name, but still overwrites the previous version. Any help on this?

Answer 1

那就是因为它们基于包工作。所以您需要更改包名称。至少要进行测试

Answer 2

The new Android market management console enables you to keep both versions, but only one can be active.

Increase your version code in the manifest:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.mypack" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0-SNAPSHOT">

and upload it.
