I'm developing an app for someone who lives pretty far away from me. I'm using android studio. My boss wants to try the app on their phone however My boss doesn't have android studio and doesn't know how to use git. How can I get the app on their phone? Is there a way to access the app files so that they can be place on the phone easily?
Build your App in Android Studio. To be 100% sure, run your app on your test device
Locate your APK. It should be at MyApp/myapp/build/outputs/apk/myapp-debug.apk
Send the APK using email, or better, upload the APK to Dropbox, your web server and email the link
Export your .apk file and send it to him. All he needs to do is find the file and hit it. Then he can install it.

I have developed a few applications and run them on my phone and they work well. But when I send them to different phone they won't open even when I try to reinstall them on my phone from the APK file they stop working. Can anyone help me?
I think you share your app which install from android studio directly. That app cannot able to run in other devices.
So, Build apk file in android studio and then share that apk file to your friends. It will run smoothly/

I have an app in which i have done some work like updated database with some records. Now i want to generate its .apk file so if i send that .apk to another user he or she can continue work from where i left. Like i wrote a half article, now i want some one else to complete it so i send that .apk to him and he can install it and continue our work.
All i could find was to get apks for all applications but i want the generated apk to have all the work i done in my app so the other user can continue easily

You can't send the apk to the other developer, you have to send the source code. Your best bet is to use an online repository (github for example) and share the code that way.

I want to create a simple app for android. I want it to install an .xml file to another apps existing directory when the user runs the app and clicks the install button. It is a patch for an existing app. I have created the .xml file but I want to make it easy for users to patch their app. Seeing as my Android knowledge is limited, I was wondering if I could get some help with this. I'm sure it's simple. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Unfortunately this is not possible, at least without rooting the device and running your app as root.
This is so by necessity - think what would happen if any application could modify other apps files.

I am hopefully going to be embarking on producing a ios or android app that shows the x read of a till from a remote location over an internet connection. My question is wether it is possible to access a text file or xcel file, take the contents of the file and pull it to the app using android and ios? I have a way to get the x read to either a xls or txt file but need to know if I will be able to access it using a ios or android app?
Apologies for the basic explanation but I am quite new to this.
Yes, it's possible.
You will have to write a server program that runs on the PC, and communicate via network sockets.

I know I have to upload it to my developer account to test it fully but does that mean it will be available to download by everyone when I hit publish?
I want to test to make sure I have everything how I want it first before people can download it
When you go to File>Export android application in eclipse, and use a non-debug keystore, the resulting .apk will be what everyone else will be downloading. Putting this apk on a phone (by sideloading, using adb etc.) will have the same effect as a user downloading it from the market.
To sideload the apk to a device, use the following adb command with your device plugged in and USB debugging enabled:
adb install <path-to-apk>
