Can I run an APK file in the Android emulator?
Can I run an APK file in the Android emulator? I have to look at the UI design of an application, but only the apk is provided.
Yes you can run apk in the emulator . for that you need to install apk in emulator ..
Steps To Install APK in Emulator
Open Command Prompt
Now Go to tools or platform-tools . Ex(E:android-sdktools)
Assuming you have an emulator created and started (which you can do with the AVD manager,) you can install an apk by running:
adb install WhateverApp.apk
from the terminal. The adb
command comes with the SDK and is under platform-tools/
. Then just run it in the emulator.
