How do you install an APK file in the Android emulator?

Question

I finally managed to obfuscate my Android application, now I want to test it by installing the APK file and running it on the emulator.

Answer 1

Copy .apk file in your SDK's platform-tools/ directory,then install the .apk on the emulator by using cmd(on windows):

adb install .apk

or

./adb install .apk

If there is more than one emulator running, you can find all running emulators by this command:

adb devices

or

./adb devices

then you must specify the emulator upon which to install the application, by its serial number, with the -s option. For example:

adb -s emulator-5554 install path/to/your/app.apk

or

./adb -s emulator-5554 install path/to/your/app.apk
