WISH: Compile with No Device Connected

[timwil]

I have recently had to develop without the ability to connect the Android device to my computer. After compiling I had to copy the .apk to a website from which the device would download and install the program. Since I had no device connected to my computer when I compiled it tried to deploy to a device which was not connected so I got the error message that no device was connected - over and over and over again.

I wish that there was an option to COMPILE ONLY - without deploying. This is not my usual means of development but it could save some headache and I figure it is the same as compile and run - just take out the run part!

Here to hoping......

Alt+2 does this, but doesn't sign the file...not sure why there isn't a Compile and Sign option, but this may work.

Alt + 2 does not create the .apk file
