I am using Android Studio v 0.5.7. The problem is that, in the "Bin" folder my apk file is there, but it is not built automatically. That is, it shows my older APK.
When I searched regarding this issue I found that, in the "Build" folder an "apk" folder is generated and it shows the updated apk file. But I have no "apk" folder inside the "Build" folder.
So, how can I get my latest apk file in Android Studio?
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=73370
has the additional details
There is a 'gradle tasks ' window - just like the editor area, project area, gradle console , similarly to the right side of android studio - there are commander, Maven Projects and gradle tasks -
once you open gradle tasks window, you will find the assemblerelease task - Run it and you will find the apk generated in \mobile\build\outputs\apk or \wear\build\outputs\apk etc
I also had faced this problem .But found the apk in win explorer serching "apk" in project folder.

I downloaded the repo android-cv-bot-template and then open it in android studio, I want to generate own apk file but can't understand how to do that.
When I import project in AndroidStudio then I have error like This project does not use the Gradle build system. We recommend that you migrate to using the Gradle build system. And did't see any button to create an apk file.
Maybe I don't need to do that with android studio?

When i create own project from scartch in adnroid stuido then I can create apk, but when i download this project I can't. And i don't understand why
In Android studio's worktab you can hover over 'Build' and select 'build bundle'. In there you can choose to build an APK. After some time a popup comes on that tells you it is done building and where to find the file.
How to find apk file in android studio 0.5.2. I checked build file but apk is not generate.
Can anyone help me in finding this file?
In later versions of Android Studio, it doesn't build a full APK from the "Make Project" command in order to make builds faster; it only builds an APK when you run the project, or use the "Generate Signed APK" wizard. If you want to force it to build an APK, go to thew Gradle window, open up the Tasks view, and choose "assembleDebug" to make a debug APK. When you do that your APK will be built in the build/apk directory in your module's directory.
I had a same problem
I run the app once on AVD
the apk file is generated
As soon as your build is successful .apk file is generated and it's path is like
project/build/apk directory.
I recently built an Android application using Eclipse (Galileo) on my PC/Xp. I'm a noob to Android development and it took me 2 months to build my app while reading/experimenting with all the Java and other programming ups/downs. The project runs fine on Eclipse. I now want to sign the application (currently reading on how to do this) in preparation to releasing it to the Android Market. At this point, I am stumped. The "signing your application" talks about signing the .apk file with your private key. My question is: where is the .apk file located on my PC/Eclipse files. I know where the src, res, manifest, and R.java files are located because I've been using them for the past 2 months. Where is the .apk file located? Hopefully someone can help me.
In Eclipse the default location for a compiled *.apk file is in the bin directory under the project workspace.
For example, my Eclipse workspace is under c:\Users\crsierra\workspace and my Eclipse Project is named HelloWorld. Therefore the HelloWorld.apk file will be located under c:\Users\crsierra\workspace\HelloWorld\bin\HelloWorld.apk
In eclipse right click on your project and in that menu select Android tools->Export signed Application package .
And In that appearing dialog follow the instructions.
You can export signed and unsigned .apk file using eclipse, as well as can generate private key too just use Project folder -- > right click --> Android tools
If you already running your project on emulator,you just close that emulator.And goes to
Project->clean
Project->BuildProject.
And then run your project in emulator and then check it out
bin/res/your.apk file
Typically in the bin folder.
Its Simple, Go to :
Workspace -> YourApp folder & in that folder type in the search bar(top-right) for your YourApp.apk !
I'm just wondering because I have my own seperate method of getting it on my phone via my web server and the emulator is getting annoying popping up every time.
I had a problem that it would not build an APK for me (without Running) after I installed the latest SDK and latest Eclipse (Indigo 371).
Try this:
Go to Windows -> Preferences -> Android -> Build and uncheck "Skip packaging and dexing until export or launch" then restart Eclipse.
Now when you do Build Project you should get an APK
Do you use Eclipse with Android ADT plugin? If so, you can use Android Tools/Export Signed Application Package to build the app as apk file
Not sure if I understand your question right, but you can create an .apk file without running by right clicking your project, and then selecting Export.
The Android Application option should be available to you.
right click ur project -> select android tools -> and then select export unsigned application and save to a location. Done, ur apk is available
On the commandline, if sdk/tools is in your $PATH: run android update project -p . at least once, followed by ant release
From Eclipse: if Project > Build Automatically is off, Project > Build Project.
The apk is built in the bin/ directory.
by default, eclipse compiles your code into .apk on the fly.
.apk is generated in bin directory if i rememered right.
This can be cancelled by Project->Build Automatically. then you can build it under the same menu.
I had a similar problem but it didn't rebuild the apk file automatically or manually without running the emulator..
You have to make sure that there are no errors (warnings are okay) on any of your projects in the workspace!! after that, check the Build Automatically option in Project tab in Eclipse! from now on, Eclipse will automatically compile your project to apk all the tim
I have just started practicing with eclipse and I tried copying and installing the apk file from the 'bin' directory, onto my nexus 4. It worked perfectly.
I am using spring and maven plugins in eclipse but when i want to run this project it returns Could not find ShopZilla.apk? How this will resolved, Please suggest me.
Make sure after updating your android sdk sdk build tools are updated properly. You can check it by Open sdk manager -"Android Sdk Build Tools" status must be installed. if the status is not installed then install Android Sdk Build Tools for the same.
If you have got all required plugins installed (ADT, M2E and M2E Android), the apk should be automatically generated by IDE.
Sometimes the apk file is not generated simply because there are some android build error in your project, unfortunately, these are not compile error so they are not shown in Eclipse problems view. For example, if you attach a icon.jpg file in your res/drawable folder and change the extension to png, you get no compile error in problems view, but if you then manually delete the apk file in your project output folder, the apk file will not be generated again and in this situation Eclipse only gives very generic message "could not find *.apk file" in console view, when you trying to run it on emulator.
Now the only question is how can we tell if there are android build error. right click your project, choose Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties. in my jpg/png example, Eclipse will show "libpng error: Not a PNG file, ERROR: Failure processing PNG image C:\android-sandbox\source\yourproj\res\drawable-mdpi\icon.png" and project marked as a error in package explorer view. as soon as you replace icon.jpg with a real png file, bingo, apk automatically generated. Though I am not sure if this can detect all subtile android build error.
If you are using the ADT plugins greater than ADT17 then rename your "lib" folder to "libs".
Then Right click on project => Android tools => Fix project Properties => Clean your project
If still issue then just restart your eclipse. Your issue will be gone.
Please follow these steps; this might help you out:
Go to Project->Properties
Select Android from left-hand side list
Uncheck the "Is Library" checkbox
or
projects -> clean
