How to deploy an app I've written to my phone without having wireless?

[Ricky D]

Can I use the usb connection to deploy?

If so how?

You can manually copy your apk to a folder at the device and install it from there. If I understood correctly, of course.

You can use USB debugging if your device supports it.
You can also use B4A-Bridge in Bluetooth mode.

See this tutorial: B4A-Bridge a new way to connect to your device

My phone supports usb debugging. What do I do at the PC end?

When you compile on the PC, with the phone connected, it should be automatically installed on your phone!

No that doesn't work. It's saying I must use B4A Bridge which I can't use now.

Please Erel what do I have to do?

regards, Ricky

The simple way, as mc73 said, is to copy the apk file into your device and then install it from there.
When you compile a project, a file is created with the extention .apk and saved automatically in the Objects folder in your PC. same folder that holds your b4a project.. you need to connect your phone, open a folder in your phone, such as Dounload folder, then copy the .apk file in that folder. Now disconnect the USB cable and go to Download folder (or any other folder where you copied the .apk file, and open it, then follow the installation instructions.

Hope this will help you.

See the link in post #3. In that tutorial there is a link to a table of drivers. You should install the driver matching your device. You can also do it from Android SDK Manager.
