How to deploy your application to your handphone?

[indomie15]

Hi all,

I am newbie in Android Programming. Currently I am working on simple application and using the emulator to test it from my PC. I would like to know how do I deploy my application directly to my phone? I have no plan to publish it to Google Play store yet.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
S.A.G

Hi indomie15,

I would use the following in order of preference:

1. Make sure you have the ADB drivers for your phone installed on your computer, connect via the USB cable and then just run the program, this will then install it onto your phone.

2. If you don't want to use the USB cable you can download B4A Bridge from Google Play and then use that to connect, please read this post:

3. Alternatively (and this is a long way around and not the way i would do it) one you have run the program look in the objects folder in the folder where your b4a source code reside and copy the APK file onto your phone and then download something like easy Installer, this will install the APK

Hope this helps

Stu

Another alternative:
Attach your apk file to an email and send it your email.
Open the email on your phone and download the attachment.
Usually it will located at the download folder.
Use any file manager, click it and it will request to install the apk
