I have made an android app using eclipse and run in on my galaxy device.
then My App files on my computer deleted somehow so I lost all my project(no backup).
I have the app on my galaxy and I can run in it fine.
There is a any way to transfer it to pc so I can reuse it?
Thanks a-lottttt

Are you looking to reuse it as in get back to the source code? Or just reinstall the APK to some other devices via your PC?
If the latter, it should be straight forward via adb put and adb get.
If the former, it depends whether you used Proguard to obfuscate your code... If it is a relatively small app, you can still get the code but not necessarily with the same symbols you originally gave it), using AntiLVL.

I created a simple Xamarin ANDROID App. I set up my phone to development mode and deployed my app to the phone via USB.
The app continues to work on the phone as a regular app.
I then created a Xamarin MOBILE App which was more complex. I deployed it to my android phone via Visual Studio debug mode as with my previous app and it ran perfectly. But when I attempt to run the app directly from my phone, it won’t run. The first screen partially loads without anything on it and then disappears. My phone puts a message up saying that my app keeps stopping and would I like to close the app. I make use of a file placed in Assets. Might this be an issue when not debugging from the computer?
Might there be a difference between deploying a xamarin android app and a xamarin mobile app.
A minor thing is that it has added the name ‘.droid’ to the name of my app which I would like to get rid of.
I am new to deploying apps to a phone
I have solved it thanks to your helpful prompts.
I looked at the error logs and the error was ‘FATAL’ in a mono dll. This was indirectly helpful in that I knew it wasn’t the logic in my code.
I also made the discovery that running my app directly in the emulator also failed in the same manner as on my phone. I also ruled out that it might be an issue with transferring an asset -a file the my app uses- as I bypassed using the asset.
(Running my app via visual studio in both the emulator and my phone worked perfectly.)
I then decided to re-house my forms and classes in a new template as I suspected it was corruption in some xml configuration setting that didn’t bother Visual Studio. This worked great and the app now runs stand alone on the phone (and emulator).
I want to debug my android application, I have Eclipse Installed fully setup for android developement.
The problem is,
1) I can't run android emulator(Hardware Concerns).
2) I can't attach phone to my computer(Driver Concerns).
Now,
Is there a way to get debug functionality by putting directly the apk into the phone storage and installing it from there.
I wanted get the logcat of the application that I'll be running.
Basically I'm quite naive in android, I'm not quite sure of the terms I said but, What I want is a way to test my app on my phone without the role of my PC.
If you have root you can use Wifi ADB
Also you can remove drivers for this device and install other driver from your device manufacturer.
If you can run standard emulator you can use Genymotion.
I am trying my hands on the android app development and need your suggestions to mitigate my current situation.
My organization has disabled USB for the desktop and I wouldn't be able to connect my phone through USB to test my application as I code.
I have installed genymotion but since it is behind proxy, in all the ways I could configure it, it gives proxy authentication error.
The avd is comparitively slower and the app which am trying needs internet connectivity at every step. I have tried these too and my impression is that we can make
the avd work for connecting to internet through its webbrowser but it cannot connect to internet within the apps. I might be wrong here. Please let me know if it is not the case.
Is there any other way where we can install the app in the phone as and when we code to test it..?
One option can be to export an apk file everytime and install them on the phone by sending this apk through a mail. But this will be a cumbersome activity if we have to test as and when we code.
Any suggestions on this..?
PS: I do not want to hack the desktop to enable the USB.Also using an external laptop with USB enabled is out of option in my case.
Many thanks.
Another way is using AirDroïd. You just need to install it on your test device, and you can manage it with a webapp :
your.static.ip.xx:8888
You can install your app with that way, it's really easy, you don't need any account in a local network.
For testing... no idea without usb, or without the emulator. Maybe you can log everything in a text file & get it (with airdroid for example).
EDIT
I think if you create an account you can use it external of you network.
http://web.airdroid.com/
Just create an account, & log on web & on the app, you could use it on the external way.
Why are you even bothering to use the desktop PC when your organization has made it unsuitable for development.
It will be hard work, but you could do all your development on the Android device itself, using AIDE
(Actually AIDE is pretty practical as a IDE if you have a large screen tablet, and pair it with a full size bluetooth keyboard).
Quote: "Inside your project bin folder there is an apk file. If you copy that file to a device you can then install the app from it.
When I am in your situation I throw my apk into dropbox and send out links for people to download it."
from this link
I doubt that if your company has disabled USB they still allow Bluetooth, but because you did not state it specifically:
If you can use Bluetooth, the best way would be to use it for running and debugging your App.
There are some Tutorials on the web.

How do i deploy an NBAndroid app (by directly moving the .apk file or else compiling straight from NetBeans?) onto a connected tablet (HP Touch that i just put CyanogenMod ICS onto)? I connect it to my computer and it isnt recognised (like WebOS was) but Android ICS was installed fine. Do i need to use the bootloader to do this? I had a quick google and Stack search but could only see stuff relevant to using the emulator, and thought id probably get an answer here quicker.
Edit: this is the same question as this How to deploy android application to a device? which i discovered afterwards.
If the Tablet is not recogniced (have this problem at work, too, even with stock OS) maybe give it a try syncing it via a dropbox folder. Its the best bet for me, so far.
i found how to connect to a device via here
How can I connect to Android with ADB over TCP?
using this method you can get the .apk on the device without using dropbox
But the dropbox method is easier, even in development.
Where do I copy the apk file on the Motorola Droid? Which directory? Are there any possible issues I need to be careful of, it's also my personal phone...
To install an apk file, you need to execute
adb install /path/to/file.apk
While the droid is connected. I would avoid using any programs other an adb to install your application. adb will definitely follow the rules and you should be able to clean things up, etc if something goes wrong. That may not be the case with other programs.
I should note, this is assuming you are writing the program yourself. adb is a program that comes with the Android development kit (I assumed you are using this as this is a programming related site. If you are not referring to this and you are simply trying to install a program on your phone, this question would probably be better on superuser.com)
Edit To address your comment. When you select "run" from eclipse, and you have your droid plugged in, it should give you the option to select which device you want to execute the code on. Double clicking on your droid will automatically install and launch the app. You may need to enable the development settings within the Settings menu though for it to be recognized. To confirm that eclipse (really it's adb) can see your droid, launch a terminal or command prompt and type adb devices while the droid is connected. If it's listed there, you're good to go.
I guess I was making it way more complicated than it needed to be. If you have eclipse with the Android plug-in, all you need to do is go into the settings of the phone, then applications, then development. Set the Debug mode to on. when you compile the app with eclipse I guess it looks for an actual phone first, if it detects it, then it loads the app on it. If no phone is detected and you have the ADV set up right it loads it there. Easy... There is a setting about unsigned apps in the application menu, I set it to accept and turned it off after, my apps are still on the phone and work... I am not sure if it was needed at all.
I don't know whether this is how you're supposed to do it, but get Astro File Manager, and you can install your app wherever you place it.
There shouldn't be anything you need to be careful of if it isn't rooted. Programs are pretty well contained and can't do much outside of their own little Dalvik machine.
