Is there a way I can just update the apk file after making changes to the android source file in eclipse. I want to be able to do this without actually pressing the Run button in eclipse.
The reason I want this is because – I usually keep the emulator open in the background (since booting it up everytime takes too much time on my slow computer). And when I run the program after a previous run, eclipse just seems to hang up – even after I have stopped the app in the emulator.
So I decided to use the adb install command-line program to install on the emulator, but am unable to get the apk file updated without actually pressing on the run button in eclipse.
Actually, the Eclipse ADT plugin works like you want it to work. Everybody just run emulator once and then pressing RUN button update the application. If you have problems with this post the logcat during the run of your application.
