Yeah I figured it out. I mis read and misunderstood the <uses-feature> I have everything working the way it should be. I still don't understand why I wasn't getting the INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_FEATURE error before the addition of the maps library tag but o well if it's not broken don't fix it.
I would like to thank all of you for your time and help and sorry for the what turned out to be a dumb question on my part. Im sure if I would have taken the time to re-read the docs I probably would have figured out the <Uses-Feature> thing a little faster! Have a great day everyone and happy programming.

Well I use the camera and I have the <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.flash" />. Now the HTC aria has no flash but my droid does. Whenever i place the code for the maps lib it causes the error BUT if i remove <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.flash" /> and keep the maps lib refrence there IT WORKS haha..... If you're saying taking out the maps references makes it work, yes that strange. If you're saying that leaving the maps reference but taking out the uses feature reference makes it work ... tat's not strange ... that's expected. If your app requires a feature the phone does not have, you can't expect it to install. Next question is. How do I allow cameras that have a flash to use <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.flash" /> and phones without a flash not to use <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.flash" /> I've never used this, but it took two seconds to check the docs and find this: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html #required ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
