I am experimenting with the NotesList sample program in the Android SDK. I've made a slight variation in the program, but when I install my edited version I keep getting the message INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER in the console when I try to install it when the original notes program is already on the device. What do I need to change in the Provider to make it a unique database? It works fine if I uninstall the original notes program and then install my edited version.
