I wanted to create a variation of my android project (for debugging purposes) so I copied it in eclipse, and renamed a few things (the project name, class etc, project name in build.xml)

It builds a different named APK, however when I install this APK, it uninstalls the original app, and visa versa.

I noticed in logcat

D/ActivityManager( 1853): Trying to launch applicationName

When I try and launch the ‘other’ app, from a short cut on the home screen it says ‘application is not installed on your phone’

As if some property has not been set, but I can’t find where applicationName is set (though this may be a red-herring).

SO my question is really, if I copy an android-sdk project, what settings should I be changing to make sure it its really a separate application.
