Question

I have launched an emulator with a:

android avd

(although the android developers site said do it from platform-tools, i did it from tools because the android command was there ,and not in platform-tools). Anyway the AVD manager appeared and I started one, and it launched just fine.

Then I tried to send my app to the emulator so (following the android developers instructions) I do a:

   adb install /newApp.apk

the command prompt jumps to the next line and just blinks…..when i check the emulator nothing has changed…where am i going wrong???

Answer 1

Once you have started the emulator try

adb devices

to check if you can see it

List of devices attached 
emulator-5554   device

then you can proceed with the install

adb install <path-to>/newApp.apk
