can't see apk on android emulator


I'm developing a game with Haxe NME, and Android 2.2 (SDK 8, the version supported by haxe nme). I have been able to upload the files using adb, I see it in DDMS explorer, and the counter of data of the SD emulator see the occupied space. now the problem is that when I go to aplications -> manage aplication -> on sdcard I can't see any item to be able to install it and test it.

I tried with my APK, and the astro manager apk too, all is the same nothing appears. i have the option "third party aplication" checked, and I'm on Windows 7.

Anyone can give me a hint of what i need to do to see the apk in the emulator and install it?


Solution

  • To actually install an application, you need to do adb install.

    Say that you're in C:\ and your apk file is also in C:\

    adb install myApk.apk
    

    When you simply push an apk, it doesn't install it, hence the need for adb install.
