android - Installation error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED?

Question

I am developing a small application that lists all the applications present/ installed on the android device. But I'm getting the below error while i'm trying to run the code.

Installation error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED

Please can any one help me to sort out this error.

Answer 1

There could be another reason for this error. The attribute

android:taskAffinity="string" 

Should always start with a dot, like:

android:taskAffinity=".string"
