Android: INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS

This was a vexing issue with a simple solution. Basically, I attempted to install an APK on a real device and received, "". Since I had never installed it previously, I was perplexed, but I tried renaming the APK, using "adb uninstall", all without success.

Then, this solution simply suggested that you install over the previous installation (as absurd as that sounds). Fortunately, it worked like a charm.
