Android Studio "applications have the same package name"

Question

My application in Android Studio has separate components for mobile devices and for Google Glasses. When I attempt to load the mobile version onto a Nexus 10 (Android version 4.4.2) I get the following error:

Applications have the same package name com.example.carterpedersen.datatransfer:
mobile, glass

I can, however, load the app onto a glass device (XE19.1) with no problem.

I find this error perplexing because my app has been running with no problem for several weeks, and all of a sudden the mobile component is crippled. I did recently add a dependency on the glass R to the mobile component, but even this was a few days before this error showed itself.

I tried refactoring the mobile directory, as well as the whole package, with no success.

I have searched SO and other sources but I didn't find any duplicates; please link me if I am wrong on this point. Thanks for the help. Provided manifests are below.

Mobile manifest:

Try using just one manifest (combined for use on both mobile and Glass - I'm assuming one apk correct?)

Just close completely the android studio and reopen it. My problem solved after this.

By the way you can try this command on cmd:

adb uninstall com.your.package

Try changing the package name in each of the AndroidManifest.xml files. So, for example, change to:

Mobile

<manifest 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.carterpedersen.mobile.datatransfer" >

Glass

<manifest 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.carterpedersen.glass.datatransfer" >

The package name should be unique amongst applications. Refer to the package attribute definition.
