android - I changed package name, changed the app_name but installer still overwrites previous version -


for diagnostic purposes, trying install android device 2 different versions of same app.

in order accomplish that, duplicated project , changed the:

  1. project name
  2. package name
  3. app name (as appears in application's "android:label" in androidmanifest.xml)

however, when install modified app, overwrites older app (with different project name, package name , app name).

apparently, missing else needs changed, in order let both projects exist on android phone side-by-side.

what "something else"?

i think need change package name text in android manifest. if change package in eclipse properties menu project, doesn't change actual androidmanifest.xml.

edit: package name identified in androidmanifest.xml unique indetifier application, think, perhaps, not referencing root package of android project's source code. think it's best practice them 1 in same, see release alternate version of app (i.e. paid vs free) changing manifest application package, not changing underlying source code. not saying practice, seems possibility. here more info :
