    This document provides steps for generating a signed APK file from an Android application project and then installing that APK file onto an Android device or emulator. It first explains that application testing is important due to variations in devices, and that emulators help with testing on different configurations. It then lists the steps to export and sign an APK file from an Android project in Eclipse. These include downloading keys, selecting the export signed package option, choosing an existing keystore, and specifying the destination folder. Finally, it describes two ways to install the APK file: through Eclipse by running the app from the project with the emulator running, or by using the ADB utility and specifying the APK file path when the emulator is active.

    Application testing is one of the vital thing we do soon after development. Due to larger
    number of devices with different resolution, different OS versions and different capabilities, it
    is difficult to test the application on all supported devices. Due to this limitation, each of
    the vendors made application testing easy using virtual devices or so called simulators.
    Android uses AVD, Android Virtual devices to test the mobile application.

    How to installing android application


    Before testing the application either in real device or simulator we need to install it. In
    android there are various different ways to install the android application (.apk) into simulator
    or device.

    1. Installing .apk to simulator using eclipse

    One way of installing android application to android emulator is using Eclipse. Once we
    create the avd from avd manager, we can run the application directly from the source project
    from eclipse. For every subsequent change or testing we dont have to restart the AVD every
    time.

    2. Installing .apk to simulator using ADB utility


    If you dont have access to Eclipse or the ADT Plugin, you can install your application on the
    emulator using the adb utility. Before installing the application, you need to build and
    package it into an .apk.
    When the emulator is running, you can also connect to the emulator instances console to
    issue commands as needed.
    > <adb install <path-to-your-APK>
