I am interested in developing an app for my HTC Magic (Android) phone. Using instructions on android's developer site, I installed eclipse with the right plugins, got created the AVD and wrote my first Hello World app which ran in the AVD. I would now like to install that Hello World app on my HTC Magic, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. I've managed to create a signed .apk file and I've stored that file on the SD card of my phone, but still I can't install it.
Can anyone please help me?!
Option #1: Connect your Magic to your development machine. There is an option when you run the app from Eclipse that lets you pick where to run it -- choose the phone. Sorry, but I'm not an Eclipse user, so I do not recall the specific steps.
Option #2: Connect your Magic to your development machine. From the command line, run adb install path/to/your.apk (substituting in an appropriate path to your APK file). If the SDK tools/ directory is in your PATH, you can run that command from anywhere, otherwise you will need to run it from tools/.
Option #3: Download a file manager program from the Android Market onto your Magic, and use that to install the APK file as found on your SD card.
