How to install apk on emulator in Android Studio?

How do you install apk on the emulator in Android Studio from the terminal?

In Eclipse we did

/home/pcname/android-sdks/platform-tools/adb -s emulator-5554 install /home/pcname/Downloads/apkname.apk

Now what about in Android Studio?

You can install .apk files on the emulator no matter what you use (Eclipse or Android Studio)

this is what i always do: (for beginners)

1- Run the emulator and wait for it to fully start.

2 Go to the sdk installation folder, then go to platform tools (you will see an executable file called adb.exe )

3- create a new file and name it run.bat , edit the file using notepad and write CMD in it and save it.

4- copy the desired apk to the same folder

5- now open run.bat and write adb install "your_apk_file.apk"

6 - wait for the installation to complete

7-voila Your apk is installed on your emulator.

Note: to reinstall the application, if it already exists, use adb install -r "your_apk_file.apk"

Sorry for the detailed instructions as I said for beginners.

I hope for this help.

Respectfully,

Tarek

Launch your emulator with Android Studio Tools->Android-> AVD Manager , then select the emulator image and run it.

After starting the emulator, just dragging the APK is very simple.

For Linux: as soon as the emulator works, the following worked for me.

Since I installed the Android SDK in my home directory, I have the following file structure:

  • Home / Android / Sdk / Platform Tools / ADB

  • home / AndroidStudioProjects / Metronome.adk

AndroidStudioProjects is a file folder created for my Android projects. "Metronome.adk" is the file I want to run.

So, using Terminal from the home directory ...

 ./Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb install ./AndroidStudioProjects/Metronome.adk

As a Linux newbie, I often forget to put "./" when trying to find a file or run a command.

After executing the “Success” command, the application is in the “Applications” area of ​​the emulator and can be launched.
