install google map.jar to Moto Phone


I tried to install an app using com.google.android.maps library on Moto XT681 Phone. Eclipse failed, reporting :

    Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY

By examining the Logcat, it states as following

Package com.xxxx.xxxx requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps; failing!

I tried to push the maps.jar file into the phone using ddms. However, it said: transfer eror: Permission denied. I guess it is because the ddms didn't connect the phone as root. I also tried using adb command, however, there was something wierd, when I tried the command adb devices, it always reboot the adb server, and could not get the device in the list?

So anyone can suggest a way out?


Solution

  • Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY

    The ROM you have installed on that device -- whether from the manufacturer or a ROM mod that you put on it -- lacks the Google Maps add-on for Android.

    The Google Maps add-on for Android comes with the firmware (a.k.a., device ROM). If your device lacks this add-on, buy a device that has it.
