I am building my app with React Native and do not need Android Studio. I am starting the emulator directly from console. However if I need to check files, I always need to start Android Studio to launch the Device File Explorer.
Can I launch the Device File Explorer directly from console or as standalone in some way?
Many thanks!
No, sorry, that specific tool is an integrated part of Android Studio.
There used to be the Dalvik Debug Monitor Service (DDMS), which was a standalone tool that had a file explorer among other things. Google discontinued that some time ago.
The only official solution that I can think of is to use adb pull from the command line.
Otherwise, you would need to see if somebody created a standalone tool for this, or perhaps a plugin for Sonar.

I am developing an app in Kivy in which I use the plyer camera function which only works on android phones. so in order to test my code, I have to make an apk file (which takes ages using bulldozer) and once done I am unable to see what went wrong because the log files are very crowded on an actual phone.
So is there a way to check your code which only runs on android phones?
Is there a good emulator out there to test my APK?
Is there a debugger available which I can use?
any help will be appreciated
Question #1: Try the "Kivy Launcher" app (available on Google play here).
Question #2: Use the "AVD" manager in "Android Studio" to create and launch an emulator. Then buildozer android deploy run will run the app on the emulator.
Question #3: There is an "adb" included as part of the Android SDK Tools. See Android adb.
I am trying to use TeamSpeak SDK on Android using Qt
1 - I link the .so file comes with TeamSpeak SDK to my Qt Project
2 - Release and APK file and setup it on my Android phone
It works fine, without a problem and connects to TeamSpeak server, but I can't open device Mic or Speaker. When I try to use
ts3client_getCaptureModeList and ts3client_getPlaybackModeList
to see the available devices I can't find anything.
I face this problem on Windows when I don't add the soundbackends file that comes with TeamSpeak SDK. I think that TeamSpeak SDK should have a soundbackend for Android too.
What I'm trying to do is to take the soundbackends on Windows, add it to my Android phone, add the path to sound backends (which is /storage/emulated/0/) but it does not work.
The question is where can I get this files, or what I should do to make sound work?
So my laptop has seriously crashed & i REALLY need my android working files (not backed up)
Is there any way I can get the app from my debug phone into android studio (in another laptop) & have them as working android files - pleaseee help!!
If it's your own application and you own copyrights, you can use some tools for decompiling Android apk. Quick google gave me this.
or you can have a look at Is there a way to get the source code from an APK file?
I'm fairly new to android development using Android Studio. The examples online say to build with Gradle. I choose Gradle when importing the project but then I get an error saying that it is not a Gradle based project. Does anyone know how I can get over this to run it on my phone?
Pick a sample project to import that has build.gradle file in BOTH the app module directory AND the project root directory.
Strongly recommend rather than importing an existing project, you create a new one from scratch yourself, following along with a tutorial.
Here's a really good first tutorial for Android Studio which is recent (August, 2014) as of this question, so it will all be relevant to the current version of Android Studio.

As far as getting the app onto your phone you can either (a) plug in the USB cable from the phone to your PC and run from Android Studio, or (b) email the app's APK file as an attachment to any email address you check on your phone (such as gmail for example). For the email method, you also need to change a security option to allow apps from unknown sources.
I want to deliver a finished and working Titanium App to Android customers. But I can't find any documentation about how to produce something like a jar-file that I can create to directly install it on Android devices without the Android market or the Titanium IDE at hand (I can't expect my users to install Titanium IDE first, right).
When you do a build for device in titanium studio, titanium studio creates an apk file for you.
You can find this at Titanium Workspace/Your Project/Build/Android/bin/app.apk. This is the app file you want.
This file can be e-mailed to your customers, and if the android phone is set to accept apps from 3rd party locations, they can install it through this e-mail.
