Answer 2

I have a Redmi K20, the following is MI, Redmi specific that I learned in a hard way

How I ended up in the error: I uninstalled the debug app from the phone because my assets were not accessible (maybe I had faulty source code)

Solution (steps that worked for me in sequence):

1. Uninstall the app
2. As per suggestion above by @Jayaprakash G and all, I turned off MIUI optimization
3. I tried finding "Instant Run", but seems missing in Android Studio 3.6.2
4. MI supports "Second Space", switch to it. You'll observe the app is still there. Again uninstall.
5. Switch space back to original again. By any chance, if you see the same app in frequently used app in the app drawer, again uninstall.
6. Try to compile and run the app from Android Studio and let it show in the app phone (Error 3 will be still there, but installation will succeed).
7. Clean the project, close Android Studio
8. Start Android Studio, now everything will work as normal without the Error 3

Answer 3

Path: Android Studio Preference / Build, Execution, Deployment / Instant Run

Go to Android Studio Preference (for Mac) or Settings (for windows)

Choose Build, Execution, Deployment tab

Choose Instant Run

Uncheck Enable Instant Run to hot swap code/resources changes on deply (default enabled)

It works for me!!

Answer 4

For me it only started working after I rebooted device (Motorola-Nexus-6).

(I also tried to clean, disable "instant run", reopen Android Studio, verified installed applications to be sure there are no clashes, disable and reenable Debug mode in phone, reconnect USB cable)

Answer 5

The solution for me was : (in a Huawei)

• Android Studio -> Build -> Clean Project
• In the phone -> go to Phone Manager -> Cleanup and Optimize

Answer 6

Disable Instant Run

Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Instant Run
