  • Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package / Beim Parsen des Pakets ist ein Problem aufgetreten

    Just finished my first (real) Android App and wanted to deploy it in my phone (not just in the emulator).
    So I sent an email to myself with the .apk attached as several tutorials said that you can just open it from your mail to install the app.
    On the phone, I opened my mail app K9 and opened the .apk. But instead of installing I unfortunately just got

    Beim Parsen des Pakets ist ein Problem aufgetreten.
    (in english) Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package.

    even though the minSdkVersion was set correctly.

    The solution was rather simple: Do NOT open the .apk in K9 directly but save it to the sdcard and open it via a filemanager like Astro.
