Corona is not native thing for Android so one button solution as in android sdk to run on device is not possible. However in article mentioned above is written how use android sdk’s Android Debug Bridge tool to install and debug app built with Corona (yes, you must first build apk and then install with adb tools as any ordinary apk)

Assuming you have the Android SDK installed, the process is something like this (I’m on a Mac, but I assume the process is similar):

  1. emulator-x86 -avd phone
  2. assumes the emulator is in the path
  3. assumes a pre-defined set of target devices (I have some like ‘phone’ and ‘tablet’) … defining these takes some time (see Android docs for more info)
  4. wait for the emulator to boot-up 
  5. build the app through the Corona simulator
  6. adb install myapp.apk
  7. first time, it will say something about starting a server in the background
  8. adb logcat
  9. you’ll see log messages from any previous apps, boot-up, etc.
  10. on the emulator, find the app and launch it
  11. you’ll see any print statements and log messages from your app
  12. they may be intermixed with other log messages
  13. when you’re done:   adb kill-server
