Android Question [Solved]Release Builds and Deployment Question.

[DataMiser]

Hi all

I just purchased B4A Standard yesterday and have been building a simple application. So far so good.

This may be a silly question but being new to B4A I can not seem to figure out how to do a release build or deployment package.

I also have did very little with Android devices in the past so am a bit unclear as to what is required to deploy/install an app on the device(s). Most of my mobile work to date had been in Visual Studio for Windows CE and Windows Mobile.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Ok, I found how to build the release version, don't know how I missed that drop down before but somehow I had.
I changed it to release and click compile and run so the app installed and ran on the device and did not exit when I unplugged the USB cable so that is good.

The thing I need to figure out now is how to deploy and install to another device. What steps do I need to take in the IDE, what files do I need to include and just the general process involved here.

After you compile it in 'Release' mode, you will see a file that ends with apk in the 'Objects' folder of your project. Copy that file to all the other devices where you can find it. Click it and start the installation.

Thanks.. That did it.
