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'm new in android studio . I wrote an application and this run on gent motion successfully , gent motion android version is 4.1., then I want to get apk file , but this don't work . I go build>generate... then keystore is build but apk file don't.
And I go build>buildbundles>apks... but too don't build apk file. I find one apk file in my project folder in:
project>res>apk >apk_realese.apk
and send this to my phone but don't install.
My phone android version is 7.1, and my project android version is 4.
I don't know what do.
Please help.
In menu go to Build-> Build Bundles/APK ->Build APK .It will build your apk file.Once successfully finished, dialog will appear at bottom and just click locate it will move to the debug folder and you can get the apk file.It will install in all mobiles.
If you dont see apk file in that folder just follow the instructions in this link.
After Android Studio 3.1.1 update, the 'locate' link does not open generated APK folder
refer this too:
Apk location in New Android Studio
If you already have successfully build your project then apk file will be stored in your project/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/ folder.
I am new in android studio, till now I am work on eclipse but now move to android studio, so Where is .apk file for android studio 2.1? like in eclipse its in "bin" folder.
there are 2 app-debug-unaligned.apk & app-debug.apk file. But when I take that APK file in my mobile for running test app. than after installed its crash
so basically i want to generate .apk file for external use. like when i am using eclipse, apk file in bin folder . when i take that apk file to my mobile that perfectly working
Hope you would find this helpful.
Find your apk here
YourProject/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk
Find your apk #,
YOUR_APP_PATH\app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug.apk
YOUR_APP_PATH\app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug-unaligned.apk
This may helps you
Open Project
1. Click on Your App
2. Click on Build
3. Click on outputs
4. Click on apk
5. Here You get app-debug.apk which is apk file
You can find it from android studio by changing the view structure to project
view the picture for reference
It depends on your configuration,When you are generating signed apk by default your apk will fall under the below mentioned folder.
Your_Projects_Folder/app/app-release.apk
All your debug apk file will generate in build folder like Sathis Kumar J metioned,Unsigned Debug Build
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 usually create projects with Eclipse and import them into Android Studio, because I hate the project structure AS gives me. In it´s module settings, I have the possibility to create artifacts which allow me to output the built apk to a certain path.
Now I have created a Gradle project directly with AS and it seems that those projects have quite less options than eclipse projects. I don´t find anything to output my apk and I don´t find any apk inside my project folder after building.
How do I get my unsigned apk out of the build process??
Use
Build > Make Project
to build an apk file from Android Studio.
You can get your unsigned apk under the below path
$YOUR_PROJECT/$YOUR_MODULE/build/apk
unsigned apk files will have "unsigned" text in their names.
[ UPDATE ] :
In Recent release of Android Studio you will not get apk file on sysncing or Make Project. There are two other methods in order to get the apk file
Run the app
Execute assemble Task from Gradle panel present in right hand side of Studio window or from embedded terminal window on bottom(in project Root)
gradlew assembleDebug(or whatever build varient you want a build for)
and the update new apk path will be
$YOUR_PROJECT/$YOUR_MODULE/build/outputs/apk
This has been done by Android Tools team to improve the Android Studio performance.
The above answer of pyus13 did not work for me (Android Studio 0.8.1).
Instead use
Run > Run "YourProject"
to build the code and create the unsigned apk. You can find your apk file under
$YOUR_PROJECT/$YOUR_MODULE/build/outputs/apk
UPDATE
Still works with Android Studio 1.5.1
You only get new APKs when you have code changes since you last built your code.
Open Gradle panel, open the tasks list of your project and double click on BUILD task, then under " -> build -> outputs -> apk" you will find your unsigned APK with name -release-unsigned.apk
It is also possible to build an apk by using the command line (Android Terminal).
Choose the Terminal in Android Studio - very bottom next to Android Monitor and Version Control
Build apk with command
Windows: gradlew.bat assembleRelease
Mac: ./gradlew assembleRelease
Find unsigned apk file - /app/build/outputs/apk/app-release-unsigned.apk
Tested in Android 1.5
As of Android Studio 1.5 you can now generate an APK using
Build > Build APK
Which you can then find under
$YOUR_PROJECT/$YOUR_MODULE/build/outputs/apk.
Edit:
New Android Studio gives this Path:
$YOUR_PROJECT/$YOUR_MODULE/build/outputs/apk.
Edit app.gradle buildTypes block, set
signingConfig null
Then rebuild.
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.
