Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]

zukero

Hi,

Just installed Android mode a few days ago and try to run the first sketch from the Andres Columbri book:

void setup() {
  fill(0);
}

void draw() {
  background(204);
  if (mousePressed) {
    if (mouseX < width/2) rect(0, 0, width/2, height);
   else rect(width/2, 0, width/2, height);
  }
}

Here is what I get:

NDK is missing a "platforms" directory.
If you are using NDK, verify the ndk.dir is set to a valid NDK directory.  It is currently set to G:\processing\sketch\android\sdk\ndk-bundle.
If you are not using NDK, unset the NDK variable from ANDROID_NDK_HOME or local.properties to remove this warning.

I only have 365MB left on the ASUS tablet, could it be a memory problem?

Hmmm if this is your first app, then check this post: https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/25085/no-device-connected#latest

I don't think the problem is storage. In any case, you can always go to your settings then storage to get a report of current usage, and then tap on the cache section to release the temporal storage to get some extra space. I think what is important right now is to make sure you have follow the proper steps to enable your phone to accept&run apk files.

@zuchero===

this error can be fired because there is not enough space left in your storage; yet, as @kfrajer, i think that it is more probably because you have not activated your phone to install apk in debug mode or not allowed files transfer.

USB debugging and MTP were set,

I had about 200MB it did not work; deleted stuff to get to 365MB still not working and then posted here.

Kept doing this and now at 800MB the sketch shows up now and works ok!

Thanks to @kfrajer and @akenaton for replying
