Solution: Android "There is a Problem Parsing the Package"

.
Fix Parse Error – There is a Problem Parsing the Package

Fix 1: Check Your Apps Manifest File

This solution is only for the people who keep messing with apps Manifest file to make a modification to it. So, if you are one of them and made any changes to the Apps Androidmanifest.xml file then try restoring the file to its default state. Things you need to make sure to fix the parse error while installing an Android app:

The name of the .apk has been changed – So, if the original .apk was named as original.apk, and you renamed it to original1.apk then you may need to rename it to its original name that is “Original.apk”.

Once renamed, try to install the app on your Android phone and see if the parse error has been resolved.

The problem with your App’s code – Well, this isn’t something that I can troubleshoot and say what went wrong. But, if there is a problem with your code, you may need to look into that.



Fix 2: Allow Apps Installation from Unknown Sources

For the security reasons, the Android smartphone does not allow you to install apps from third-party sources or sources apart from the Google Play Store. Installing third-party apps from unknown sources can harm your Android phone.

So, if you are trying to install a .apk file then you may face the “parse error – there is an error parsing the package”. To fix this, what you can do here is allow app installation from the unknown sources. You can find the settings to the same under Security settings of your phone.

To allow app installation from the unknown sources, go to Settings and look for Security option under “Input and Control.”

Tap on Security and under Device administrators tap on “Unknown Sources, allows installation of apps from unknown sources”. If asked to confirm, tap OK.

Go back to the folder where you have the .apk located. Tap on it and install the app without parse error.

Fix 3: Enable USB Debugging

Enabling USB debugging isn’t really necessary for installing Android apps using the .apk file. But, for some users, enabling the USB debugging seems to have worked very well.

To enable USB debugging, you need to enable Developer Option in your Android phone first.

To enable “Developer option” go to, Settings, scroll down and tap on About Phone and then tap seven times on the “Build Number”. You should see a “You are now a developer” message on the screen.

Next, go to Settings again, scroll down and tap on Developer Options. Under developer options, tap on USB debugging and enable it.

The procedure to enable USB debugging for different devices will be different. There are dedicated websites such Enable USB Debugging with detailed instructions to do the same.

Fix 4: Disable Antivirus

The parse error can also occur if your security application is blocking the installation. Most of the Antivirus try to block the installation of the applications that may look untrusted or suspicious. So, if you are trying to install a .apk, the possibility is that your Antivirus app might be blocking the .apk file and preventing the installation.

So, try disabling the Antivirus temporarily and try to install the .apk file. This time, you should be able to install the .apk file without receiving any parse error in Android.

Fix 5: Corrupted APK or Partially Downloaded File

The phrase error – there is a problem parsing the package error can also occur due to a corrupted .apk file. Try downloading the fresh apk and install it. See if this can resolve the error. Also, make sure you download the complete file. Sometimes, you may partially download a .apk file and face Parse error while installing it.

Fix 6: Incompatible App

Some Android apps do not support the older version of the Android OS. Some apps do not support the older hardware of the smartphone. So, when you try to install an app which requires Android 4.4 KitKat above on an Android 4.3 Jelly Bean running smartphone then you will get “Parse error – there is a problem parsing the package” message. So, make sure you read the app description about the requirement on the Google Play Store.

Solution To: "Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings" (PHP)

Error (PHP):

Warning: 
date() [function.date]: 
It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.
You are required to use the date.timezone setting or 
the date_default_timezone_set() function. 
In case you used any of those methods and 
you are still getting this warning, 
you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. 

Solution:

1. Edit PHP.ini, uncomment the date time
e.g.
date.timezone = Asia/Kuala_Lumpur


2. Edit PHP script, add the date time statement

if( ! ini_get('date.timezone') )
{
    date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kuala_Lumpur');
}

List of Mac OS X (Yosemite) Shortcut Keys

The following tips were copied from http://www.techlicious.com/tip/the-most-useful-mac-keyboard-shortcuts/.

---

Many functions and features in OS X Yosemite are accessed and controlled by swiping, flicking, tapping and pinching on the surface of a trackpad (or on the top of Apple's accessory Magic Mouse), as well as by pointing and clicking. But like operating systems of yesteryear, Yosemite also lets you use a keyboard alone to summon a feature or function.

In fact, Yosemite contains so many "keyboard shortcuts" — combinations of key presses that invoke a command — that an Apple webpage lists hundreds of them. And if those aren't enough, you can create your own shortcutsby browsing to Apple menu > System Preferences and selecting Keyboard. Click Shortcuts, select app shortcuts and then click Add (+).

What follows here is our choice of the most useful keyboard shortcuts in Yosemite (and all OS X versions, starting with OS X 10.2 Jaguar), plus a selection of our favorite ways to control the Mac OS with trackpad swipes, flicks, taps and pinches.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Shortcuts for navigating among applications, open windows and the desktop

Command Key + Tab – Move forward to the next most recently used application in a list of open applications

Command Key + Q – Quit the frontmost application

F9 Key – Tile or un-tile all open windows (for quick selection and access)

F10 Key – Tile or un-tile all open windows in the currently active (frontmost) application

F11 Key – Hide or show all open windows

Shortcuts to use within open applications and windows

Command Key + N – Create a new document in the frontmost application

Command Key + P – Display the print dialog box

Command Key + S – Saves the active document

Command Key + Shift Key + S – Display the Save As dialog box

Command Key + Z – Undo previous command (some applications permit multiple Undos)

Command Key + Shift Key + Z – Redo previous command (some applications permit multiple Redos)

Shortcuts for selecting and acting on selected items

Command Key + A – Selects all items in a document or window (or on the desktop if no window is open), or all characters in a text field

Command Key + B – Boldface the selected text or toggle boldfaced text on and off

Command Key + C – Copies selected item or text to the Clipboard

Command Key + I – Italicize the selected text or toggle Italic text on and off

Command Key + Shift Key + Control Key + 4 – Capture a selection to the Clipboard

Shortcuts for navigating the menu bar

Control Key + F2 – Puts the focus on the menu bar, so you can now use the following keyboard shortcuts to navigate through the menu bar menus. (Useful if your portable mouse or portable trackpad has dead batteries and won't operate.)

Left Arrow and Right Arrow – Moves from menu to menu

Return – Opens a selected menu

Up Arrow and Down Arrow – Move to menu items in the selected menu

Type the menu item's name – Jump to a menu item in the selected menu

Return – Select a menu item (within a selected menu)

Trackpad Gesture Controls

Perhaps the most fun way to use Mountain Lion is with gesture controls, and our favorites are listed below –– but you'll find a lot more, and see video demonstrations of them all on Apple's Mountain Lion gestures explanation page.

Show Safari Tabs – Pinch in with two fingers to reveal all open tabs at once (navigate among them with a two-finger swipe left or right; point and click or tap on a tab to open it)

Three-Finger Drag – Move a selected item from one place to another on the desktop or within an active window (where allowed)

Tap-To-Zoom – Double-tap the trackpad with two fingers within a PDF or web page to zoom in where the cursor is positioned (or zoom back out to a normal view)

Word Lookup – Tap a word with three fingers to look up its Dictionary, Thesaurus and Wikipedia entries

Show Desktop – Spread your thumb and three fingers to reveal the desktop (when you're otherwise in an open window or active application)
