Here’s some brief background on my question; maybe the real answer is to just change my approach.
I have an application that can run all by itself, but certain activities can be called using intents from outside the application. Lately, I’ve been using a little test app I built to try this out, and any time I change the code in my main application, I have to run it, close it, then run the test app.
Not too big a deal, really. Still, I’m curious to find out if there’s a way to just install new code without having the app launch on the phone.
By invoking
adb install YourApplication.apkfrom the command line.
