the easiest is linking your phone via USB to your laptop.

you could use an emulator aswell but it's deadslow and eats a lot of resources.

I think it's also possible to compile over the network/wifi but that required additional handlings to install the app each time. that's not the case with USB connect.

I use the B4A Bridge going from Desktop/Laptop to either my phone or tablet depending on which android device size I need to use at that moment. Doing that, I don't have to worry about cabling.

In theory, you don't have to use the Android and Java SDKs. (From the download page...

"Basic4android can run in two modes: local compilation and remote compilation.
Local compilation depends on two additional (free) packages: Java JDK and Android SDK.
"
)

It works fast enough for me to keep me from going crazy. Using the emulator is definitely NOT something I enjoy since it is so very slow.
