Question

I have tried to install my apk using adb like this:

D:\C_Desktop\Development\Android SDK\platform-tools>adb install "C:\test_haxe\bin\android\bin\bin\testhaxe-debug.apk"
4274 KB/s (3702929 bytes in 0.846s)
        pkg: /data/local/tmp/testhaxe-debug.apk
Success

so, its installed fine, but at my phone, I couldn’t find the apk file, is it deleted after being installed?!

also, I tried to uninstall it like this:

adb uninstall com.ketab.haxe

but I get

Failure

Because I have no emulator, I will have to install the app each time to see the progress, so I will need to uninstall it and then install the new app on my phone, is this the right way to go any way?

Answer 1

to find out the apk file location after installation use pm path <package> command:

adb shell pm path com.ketab.haxe

you could try uninstalling the package with:

adb shell pm uninstall com.ketab.haxe

in case of failure check the error message with:

adb logcat -d -s PackageManager:*
