How to install the same application more than once on Android?

android

Solution

You can do this by changing the package name (in the `AndroidManifest.xml` file). Not the package name for your Java code - the package name for your APK file defined in the `AndroidManifest.xml`. APK files with different package names are considered completely different applications by Android.

Note: if this is for internationalizing your application, you really should do it as described here by Google.

Problem

I have an application that differs for different languages by resources. Is there a possibility to install the same application on Android several times? So, as a result I will have German version, French version, English version of the same program, but each installed as a separate applications with different icons.
