Build for Android Devices

Just found cool way to install .apk file onto my Droid X.

Just upload the .apk file via Google Docs. I then copied the link to the file in Google Docs into my gmail. Then when I used the Droid X to look at the gmail, I clicked on the link. The .apk file download with a status bar and it asks if you want to install. If the file is already installed, it asks if you want to replace. Very smooth!

A couple other ways you can do it.

1.) email it to your gmail on the device, you can open the attachment and it will ask you to install.

2.) use dropbox on your comp and use the app on your device. [import]uid: 126161 topic_id: 27108 reply_id: 110047[/import]

I hadn’t ever considered using Google Docs in the past, though I had emailed and Dropbox’d (which is my preferred method) - thanks for sharing :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 27108 reply_id: 110098[/import]

The fastest possible way is to use adb. (which comes with the android sdk)

Open terminal/command line window and type:

[code]
adb install pathtofile.apk

I like the adb method and I use it. But I’m trying to get more people (my high school students) interested in using Corona and, with the Google Docs method, you don’t need to install the Android SDK. So, if you want to avoid getting a Dropbox account and installing Android SDK AND you already have a Google Docs account, then Google Docs is the fastest possible way to install an Android app. In my humble opinion… :slight_smile: [import]uid: 104085 topic_id: 27108 reply_id: 110146[/import]
