I have tried all the possible solutions out there in web but it's not working for me can anyone please help me out with this
SOLVED THE FOLLOWING BY RE-DOWNLOADING THE SDK AND REDEFINING THE SDK PATH
Hi Virus..
Android Studio does not contain ADB, you need Android SDK for it (it is installed on first run of Android Studio 0.9.x and newer). ADB is located in sdk\platform-tools.
It's possible to add to PATH in Windows and use Terminal inside Android Studio only by command: "adb shell" and after use "su" get root shell.
locate SDK platform tools folder (eg: C:\android\sdk\platform-tools)
open Enviroment Variables in Windows (http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm)
add Platform tools to end of PATH (eg: ;C:\android\sdk\platform-tools)
reopen Android Studio
use Terminal with command: "adb shell"
Older Windows will maybe need reboot after change PATH variables.
EDIT: From new Android Studio is Android SDK separate outside Android Studio folder and is downloaded after first run of Android Studio. For more info: tools.android.com/recent/androidstudio0814inbetachanne
As the title says, is there any way to change the default Terminal of Android Studio to iTerm2 on Mac OS?
I haven't tested it on a Mac, but at least on Windows you can select the shell used by the Terminal window in the Settings Menu (for example from the default cmd.exe to TCC/LE).
I suspect it should be the same way,
File -> Settings -> Terminal -> Shell path
See the IDEA documentation for the Terminal plugin.
For Mac OS
File -> Other Settings -> Preference for New Projects -> Shell path
Windows OS
Please follow #matiash answer.
Alternative
It will work both on Terminal and in Android Studio.
To check available shells: available shells run: cat /etc/shells
To select your favourite (I am selecting bash): chsh -s /bin/bash
That's all.
Do it on Mac:
go to File/Other Settings/Preferences For New Projects
then in Terminal tab, change the "Shell Path" attribute.
You may click on the folder icon on the right side of this field and choose your desired shell.
How can I run AVD Manager on Mac? I mean what is the exact file name which I should double-click on to run AVD Manager? I found android-sdk folder but can't understand where is the executable file... At the same time it is not shown in Eclipse under Window menu tab.
Go to <ANDROID_SDK>/tools and double-click on android, it will open.
Then in the menu select Tools -> Manage AVDs.
UPDATE
The android command is no longer available.
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager.
cd to <ANDROID_SDK>/tools in the Terminal and open the Android Virtual Device Manager by typing
./android avd
OR
ln -s ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android /usr/local/bin/android
android avd
You can run it using Command Line
cd ~/Library/Android/Sdk/tools && ./emulator -avd DEVICE_NAME
In my case:
cd ~/Library/Android/Sdk/tools && ./emulator -avd Nexus_5_API_26
Once you find the android tool at:
/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android
You can run:
/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android avd
Related
You can also do:
/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android sdk
or
/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android -h
I highly recommend adding the following to your .bash_profile:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/{username}/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:/Users/{username}/Library/Android/sdk/tools/:/Users/{username}/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/24.0.0/
Make sure you have these things installed before you add them to path
If you don't see Android Virtual Device Manager in Eclipse under Window menu tab, I don't think you've installed the Android Eclipse tools correctly.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
For example, do you see Android SDK Manager?
Select the Window->Customize Perspective->
In the options the Android SDK and AVD will be disabled. You cannot enable them directly from this tab.
Go to the Command Groups Availablility Tab and Select Android SDK and AVD Manager.
When i enter "adb install asdasd.apk" to cmd returns "error:device not found". How can I fix this?
Just copy that apk file into ( D:\android-sdk\platform-tools ) android sdk platform tools.
and then open the cmd prompt.
then, come into that platform tools path in cmd prompt.
then, give like this in cmd -- adb install (appName).apk
wait few minutes and get success respomse in cmd prompt..
First, familiarize yourself with a concept of AVD. That's basically an instance of the emulator - it has a bunch of settings, like the Android version to use and screen size and an SD card image.
You cannot install stuff "in the emulator" - you can only install stuff into a specific AVD. For that, you need to create and run an AVD first. For that, use "AVD Manager" from Eclipse or standalone.
Under the Android SDK folder in Explorer, run "AVD Manager". Choose an AVD (or create a new one if you don't have any). Select, click "Start".
Does the emulator show up when you run the following command?
adb devices
If not, you might have to boot up the AVD first, but if I remember correctly it should be starting it up by itself.
Have you created a new emulator for your project? And are you using Eclipse? Eclipse has an ADT plugin which is useful as it allows you to open the AVD manager through it. This plugin will give you this option in the Windows tool bar of Eclipse: Windows>AVD manager.
Create a new project based on the emulator and click the run button which will install your project onto the emulator. If you have an Android device I recommend turning USB development mode in your phones settings and running your project straight onto your device as it will be a lot faster. Hope this helps
this is what i did :
first run the "AVD Manager"-> choose an AVD -> click "Start"
immediately after
you click on "Start"
use command on cmd as,
adb install asdasd.apk
then in my case (Windows), asked to place .apk file in data/local/tmp/
what i did was copy and paste .apk file into data/local/tmp
and again use command
adb install asdasd.apk
then cmd prompted-> Success
You can also use command
adb devices
command for check whether emulator is in the list
Actually you may need to run AVD several times
I finally managed to obfuscate my Android application, now I want to test it by installing the APK file and running it on the emulator.
How can I install an APK file on the Android Emulator?
You can simply drag and drop the .apk file of your application to the emulator and it will automatically start installing.
Another option:
Windows:
Execute the emulator (SDK Manager.exe->Tools->Manage AVDs...->New then Start)
Start the console (Windows XP), Run -> type cmd, and move to the platform-tools folder of SDK directory.
Paste the APK file in the 'android-sdk\tools' or 'platform-tools' folder.
Then type the following command.
adb install [.apk path]
Example:
adb install C:\Users\Name\MyProject\build\Jorgesys.apk
Linux:
Copy the apk file to platform-tools in the android-sdk linux folder.
Open Terminal and navigate to platform-tools folder in android-sdk.
Then Execute this command -
./adb install FileName.apk
If the operation is successful (the result is displayed on the screen), then you will find your file in the launcher of your emulator.
Mac:
PATH=$PATH:~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
Example : PATH=$PATH:/users/jorgesys/eclipse/android-sdk-mac_64/tools
Then run adb.
Mac:
1.Run the emulator,
2.then copy your .apk file and paste into /Users/your_system_username/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools,
if you are not able to find sdk path in your mac system, do the following steps: Open finder->select Go option on top menu -> select Go to Folder option -> it will popup a window with a textfield: /Users/your_system_username/Library/Android/sdk/ -> now open platform-tools folder and paste your copied .apk file,
Now open the terminal and type the following:
cd Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
execute the following in your terminal: ./adb install yourapkfilename.apk if you get the following error message: error: no devices found - waiting for device, follow step 5.
Run your emulator from Android Studio, once emulator active then repeat step 4, you will see the success message on your terminal.
If you've created more than one emulators or if you have an Android device plugged in, adb will complain with
error: more than one device and emulator
adb help is not extremely clear on what to do:
-d - directs command to the only connected USB device...
-e - directs command to the only running emulator...
-s <serial number> ...
-p <product name or path> ...
The flag you decide to use has to come before the actual adb command:
adb -e install path/to/app.apk
Nowadays, you can simply drag and drop the Android apk to the emulator and it will automatically starts installing.
go to sdk folder, then go to tools.
copy your apk file inside the tool directory
./emulator -avd myEmulator
to run the emulator on mac
./adb install myApp.apk
to install app on the emulator
go to the android-sdk/tools directory in command prompt and then type
adb install fileName.apk (Windows)
./adb install fileName.apk (Linux or Mac)
Copy .apk file in your SDK's platform-tools/ directory,then install the .apk on the emulator by using cmd(on windows):
adb install <path_to_your_bin>.apk
or
./adb install <path_to_your_bin>.apk
If there is more than one emulator running,
you can find all running emulators by this command:
adb devices
or
./adb devices
then you must specify the emulator upon which to install the application, by its serial number, with the -s option. For example:
adb -s emulator-5554 install path/to/your/app.apk
or
./adb -s emulator-5554 install path/to/your/app.apk
First you need to install Android Studio on your machine. Then simply follow these steps.
Go to you navigation bar and open Android Studio.
From the toolbar open AVD Manager. (If you cannot see it create a new android project)
Create a Virtual Device.
Select a hardware device that you want to install your app.
Select an android image that you want to install on your device. (If you cannot see any images you can download the require image from Recommended, x86 Images or Other images)
Add a name to your AVD.
Now the virtual device has been created and you can simply run it by clicking the play button.
Now you have setup the virtual device and now you need to install the APK file.
Download the APK file that you want to install and Drag and Drop it to the emulator.
The APK file has been successfully installed and you can see it in your applications.
Now you can simply run the installed app.
Drag and drop
Simply drag-and-drop the apk file into your emulator.
You can also run your android emulator without Android Studio.
In Genymotion just drag and drop the *.apk file in to the emulator and it will automatically installs and runs.
http://www.genymotion.com/
Download the Apk file from net and copy it to platform-tools of your SDK folder, then in command prompt go to that directory an type:
adb install filename.apk
press enter it will install in few seconds
Download apk file from browser and then just click on it (notification area). Installation will start automatically.
Goto Shell/Terminal/, reach at android-sdk/tools directory then
adb install fileName.apk // (u can run this command on windows)
or
./adb install fileName.apk //( u can run this command on linux)
Let's suppose you have to install Facebook APK on your emulator.
You can use adb to install the APK to the running emulator in OS X like this:
./adb install ~/FBAndroid-2.1.apk
And on Windows, like this:
adb install %HOMEPATH%\FBAndroid-2.1.apk
Once complete, check the apps screen of the emulator to check that the app has been installed correctly. If you need to force the upgrade of this app from a previous version, add the -r flag, like this on OS X:
./adb install -r ~/FBAndroid-2.1.apk
keep your emulator up and running.
In the command line, go inside the platform-tools folder, in your sdk folder which come with adt bundle and execute following command :
>adb install <yourFilename.apk>
This command detect your running emulator/emulators and show you the list of devices where you can install this app(show if any physical device/devices connected to your computer.). Then you can select any one, if only one emulator is running then app will directly installed on it by default.
Note: For above command your .apk file needs to be in same directory.
for more detailed tutorial follo : This link
From Windows 7 Onwards ,
Shift + Right click in your apk file folder.
Select Open Command Window Here
Type & Hit "adb install AppName.apk"
Drag and drop ".apk" file into the emulator window.
Just drag and drop your apk to emulator
(TESTED ON MACOS)
The first step is to run the emulator
emulator -avd < avd_name>
then use adb to install the .apk
adb install < path to .apk file>
If adb throws error like APK already exists or something alike. Run the adb shell while emulator is running
adb shell
cd data/app
adb uninstall < apk file without using .apk>
If adb and emulator are commands not found do following
export PATH=$PATH://android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools://android-sdk-macosx/android-sdk-macosx/tools:
For future use put the above line at the end of .bash_profile
vi ~/.bash_profile
if use more than one emulator at firs use this command
adb devices
and then chose amulatur and install application
adb -s "EMULATOR NAME" install "FILE PATH"
adb -s emulator-5556 install C:\Users\criss\youwave\WhatsApp.apk
I might be wrong, but on Windows I simply drag and drop the .apk into Android Emulator. I mean, doing all mentioned above seems to be a lot of work.
go to ADT/Android-sdk/tools directory in command prompt
1. adb install fileName.apk (Windows)
./adb install fileName.apk (Ubuntu/Linux or Mac)

Drag and Drop didn't work for me on Windows 10 Pro.
Put the APK on Google Drive
Access that Google drive using Chrome browser on the Android Emulator
Then install it from there.
Note: You need to enable unknown sources within the Emulator.
Best way is to create a app, which opens the apk file on the emulator. You have to copy the .apk file to the download folder of your emulator. Then replace yourAppName.apk with your .apk name.
here is the code
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/download/" + "yourAppName.apk")), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
(1) You can also use gradle commands to install your APK while choosing the product and flavor (Debug or Release).
See this Guide.
./gradlew assembleDebug (Incase you don't have the APK generated)
./gradlew installDebug
Incase you want a fresh install, you can remove any earlier installed builds on the device with below commands
./gradlew uninstallDebug
./gradlew installDebug
(2) You can also use the adb commands directly:
Setup adb for command line
export PATH=/Users/mayurik/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb:/Users/mayurik/Library/Android/sdk/tool
Command line ADB install
adb -d install pathto/sample.apk (on device)
adb -e install pathto/sample.apk (on emulator)
Also check the documentation here
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
emulator-5555 device
$ adb -s emulator-5555 install helloWorld.apk
you write the command on terminal/cmd
adb install FileName.apk.
Now you can just drag and drop the apk in emulator and it will install!
On Linux I do this:
first see which devices I currently have: emulator -list-avds
build the release cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease
install it at the emulated device "Nexus5" (you are inside the android directory, else use the full path to apk): adb -s '8e138a9c' install app/build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk
Thats it. You can also use ./gradlew installRelease
Follow the steps :
make sure you have allowed installation from unknown sources in
settings.
Use the Android Device Monitor to copy the APK to the sdcard.
Use the builtin browser in Android to navigate to
file:///sdcard/apk-name.apk
When the notification "Download complete" appears, click it.
1) paste the myapp.apk in platform-tools folder , in my case C:\Users\mazbizxam\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, this is the link in my case it may change to you people
2)open the directory in CMD CD C:\Users\mazbizxam\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
3)Now you are in platform-tools folder , just type adb install myapp.apk
please ensure that your emulator is turn on , if every thing is ok apk will install
Start the console (Windows XP), Run -> type cmd, and move to the
platform-tools folder of SDK directory.
In case anyone wondering how to run cmd in platform-tools folder of SDK directory, if you are running a new enough version of Windows, follow the steps:
Go to platform-tools through Windows Explorer.
While holding shift right click and you will find the option "Open Command window here".
Click on it and cmd will start in that folder.
Hope it helps
