RussianQuestion
I uploaded my application to Market and then downloaded it to my phone. Now I'm unable to use debug keystore which is used by default by Eclipse ADT Plugin (Re-installation failed due to different application signatures) and when I'm trying to setup own keystore in Eclipse->Windows->Android->Build->CustomDebugKeystore, I'm unable to enter password or accept keystore and type password later.
Is there anything I can do or only way do debug app on device is to uninstall market version and deal with default debug keystore?
Solution
You have to delete the market version before you can reinstall the debug version onto the device. Android keeps track of applications based on their package names so you can't have more than one installed w/ the same name at the same time. If you really wanted to keep both the market version and the version you're working on installed you'd have to change the package name of the new one, then change it back when you want to update it to the market.
OTHER TIPS
Just realised this:
What if you made a copy of your keystore file, changed the password as in this thread to the default Android password 'android', then used that in Eclipse?
