How do I install my android app on my HTC Magic?
I am interested in developing an app for my HTC Magic (Android) phone. Using instructions on android's developer site, I installed eclipse with the right plugins, got created the AVD and wrote my first Hello World app which ran in the AVD. I would now like to install that Hello World app on my HTC Magic, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. I've managed to create a signed .apk file and I've stored that file on the SD card of m开发者_Python百科y phone, but still I can't install it.
Can anyone please help me?!
Option #1: Connect your Magic to your development machine. There is an option when you run the app from Eclipse that lets you pick where to run it -- choose the phone. Sorry, but I'm not an Eclipse user, so I do not recall the specific steps.
Option #2: Connect your Magic to your development machine. From the command line, run adb install path/to/your.apk
(substituting in an appropriate path to your APK file). If the SDK tools/
directory is in your PATH, you can run that command from anywhere, otherwise you will need to run it from tools/
.
Option #3: Download a file manager program from the Android Market onto your Magic, and use that to install the APK file as found on your SD card.
The .apk
file is a kind of install file. Just use a file browser on your phone to "open" it, and it should install the app for you.
