I need to rely on external app (Barcode scanner in my case). The eclipse emulator crashes when I try to download it from within the emulator itself.
- Is there a way to download it using the emulator?
- Or Is there a way to directly install the APK and make it available for my application?
I ran the emulator from eclipse.
Check to see if the device is detected using :
>adb devicesI ran the
adb install foo.apkThis installed the APK in the emulator.
If the Command prompt says no AVD, you will need to create one
>android create avd -n <avd-name> -t 2Installing the apk in the tools is considered the best practice
