I have been sent an android app to test. I saved the apk to my desktop, but now I don't know what else to do. How do I import it into androis studio? I know this is a very basic question but please be detailed, thank you.
Connect your android device (or start an emulator), go to the command prompt, change directory to where the apk is, and enter adb install apkname
Please follow the below steps to install apk file.
1.First run the emulator.
2. open the sdk specified path and find the platform tools folder.then copy the apk file and store it inside the platform-tools folder.(G:android-sdks\platform-tools).
3.open the command prompt and change the directory to android-sdks/platform tools.
4.enter the command : adb install apkfile name.
5.if you are getting success in command prompt the apk was sucessfully installed in your emulator..

I have created Same project as two WorkSpace in my system .
ex: AppSampleHindi and AppSampleEnglish,
once i run the app i am getting error so how to solve this error.
and instant run option is not there in my android studio
$ adb install-multiple -r -t /Users/Name/Desktop/AppName/app/build/intermediates/resources/instant-run/debug/resources-debug.apk
Error while installing apk
Make sure that the two projects have different package names, otherwise installation will fail.
Open your AndroidManifest.xml file and look for "package" property.
I want to install apk from within Eclipse IDE by right-clicking on apk file (that may be in any project, no need for ADT).
The system command to execute is adb install app-name.apk
How to archive that in Eclipse IDE ?
To run some tool Eclipse External tool may be used (that I don't know well),
but that will not appear in context menu for right-button mouse click.
Eclipse lets you right-click any file, and use Open With -> Other , where you can choose any external program or script. On Windows, I created a simple batch script with below line (you should be able to do something similar on other platforms)
adb install -r %1
and in eclipse, i right-click an apk file, and choose Open With -> Other -> above batch script , Eclipse then successfully installed the APK.
Another option: you can create Eclipse plugin, using its Commands interface. This lets you add a context-menu/right-click action. You can execute your adb command from there. Creating this plugin can be easy, please take a look at this code snippet for a sample.
Ideally you would want to use the -r option so it re-installs if apk already present on device : adb install -r app-name.apk.
I have downloaded the adt-bundle for linux and extracted it. Moved the extracted folder in "android" directory in my /home directory. I have also installed openjdk 6. So when i try to run eclipse, Pypar2 window pops up and i just don't understand how do i run eclipse.
If i uninstall PyPar2, it says 'Could not display "/home/siddhartharao17/Androi...20131030/eclipse/eclipse".' There is no application installed for executable files. Do you want to search for application to open this file?
Please help me!!
The problem is that the executable doesn't have the required permissions.
Simple resolution without using the terminal:
Right-click the executable -> Properties -> Permissions.
Check the checkbox that says Allow executing file as program.
Done!
Using the terminal:
navigate to your dir.
Execute the following:
chmod 711 eclipse
Done!

How do you install an APK file in the Android emulator?

I am using windows 7. One of my client gave me a apk file to see a previous project developed by another developer. But I have no android phone. So I want to install that apk file to my AVD device of my android sdk. But I am fail. Please give me details instruction how to install apk file inside AVD device of Eclipse(Android SDK). I am using windows 7.
The command is:
adb install app.apk
If you want to install it over an existing installation, you will need:
adb install -r app.apk
This will only work if the installed app and the new app.apk file are signed with the same signature. Otherwise you'll have to uninstall the existing app first.
Make sure that you have [android installation]\platform-tools on your PATH. If you don't want to modify your PATH, use the full path to adb in the command line. For example:
c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe install app.apk
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.
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.
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-sdk\tools)
Then type this command adb install [apk file name whenever it stored]
