Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have the code.google.com Android
SDK, am able to launch the emulator and created a v3.0 object
and its started and runs fine, but am just trying to "install"
and launch an existing application. its a database viewer with a
.apk extension. I have the source, but right now to start its a
compiled app.  How is this done?   share|improve this question

your emulator (it has to be running when you do this), then open
Terminal and type  >adb install your_program.apk  You have to cd
over to the directory where the file is, first.  (the > is the
terminal prompt... not a character you should be typing)  oh,
and if you then want to uninstall it, you can do it right
through the emulator, of if you know the actual package name you
can then do it like...  >adb uninstall com.full.package.name
Oh, and I guess I'm giving mac advice cause I'm on a mac... if
you're on a PC you'll use the command prompt... I'm assuming the
rest is the same.
