How to install an APK file on an Android phone?

Question

I have a simple \"Hello Android\" application on my computer (Eclipse environment), and I have built an APK file. How do I transfer the APK file to my Android phone for test

Answer 1

For what its worth, installing a system app to the /system/app directory will be:

adb push appname.apk /system/app/

Just ensure you're in the right directory where the target .apk file to be installed is, or you could just copy the .apk file to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK and adb would definitely find it.
