Content Provider INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER (installing content provider as a separate apk)

Question

I have two applications which use the same content provider, but I can\'t put the same content provider in both applications- it shows INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER er

Answer 1

You can solve it by changing the value of android:authorities in your AndroidManifest.xml file. The reason for the error is that another application installed on your device already uses that same value for android:authorities.
