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

 

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.

How can I install an APK file on the Android Emulator?

You can simply drag and drop the .apk file of your application to the emulator and it will automatically starts installing.

Another options:

Windows:

  • Execute the emulator (SDK Manager.exe->Tools->Manage AVDs...->New then Start)
  • Start the console (Windows XP), Run -> type cmd , and move to the platform-tools folder of SDK directory.
  • Paste the APK file in the 'android-sdktools' or 'platform-tools' folder.

  • Then type the following command.

    adb install [.apk path]

    Example:

    adb install C:UsersNameMyProjectbuildJorgesys.apk

    • Linux:

  • Copy the apk file to platform-tools in android-sdk linux folder.
  • Open Terminal and navigate to platform-tools folder in android-sdk .
  • Then Execute this command -

    ./adb install FileName.apk

  • If the operation is successful (the result is displayed on the screen), then you will find your file in the launcher of your emulator.

    • Mac: 

    PATH=$PATH:~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools

    Example : PATH=$PATH:/users/jorgesys/eclipse/android-sdk-mac_64/tools

    Then run adb.

    Mac:

    1.Run the emulator,

    2.then copy your .apk file and paste into /Users/your_system_username/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools ,
    if you are not able to find sdk path in your mac system, do the following steps: Open finder->select Go option on top menu -> select Go to Folder option -> it will popup a window with a textfield: /Users/your_system_username/Library/Android/sdk/ -> now open platform-tools folder and paste your copied .apk file,

  • Now open terminal and type the following: cd Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools

  • execute the following in your terminal: ./adb install yourapkfilename.apk if you get the following error message: error: no devices found - waiting for device , follow the step 5.

  • Run your emulator from Android Studio, once emulator active then repeat step 4, you will see the success message on your terminal.

    • If you've created more than one emulators or if you have an Android device plugged in, adb will complain with 

    error: more than one device and emulator

    adb help is not extremely clear on what to do: 

    -d                        - directs command to the only connected USB device...
-e                        - directs command to the only running emulator...
-s <serial number>        ...
-p <product name or path> ...

    The flag you decide to use has to come before the actual adb command: 

    adb -e install path/to/app.apk

    现在，您只需将 Android apk 拖放到模拟器，它就会自动开始安装。
