How to run simple android app on my phone?

I wrote a simple application for android, it works fine on my phone, but i want to run it on my phone without connecting my phone to the computer, i mean i want to install the application on my computer. How can i do this? Also what if i want to send this app to a frind? Do i have to install it to market?

Thanks

  • The first thing you need to do is create an .apk file. Here is a question about creating it.

    You can then put it on the play store, or upload the .apk to a server and use the URL to download it.

    Or you could just copy the .apk from your computer onto your phone then just click the file and it will install.

    Using anything other than the market will require the user to 'allow applications from unknown sources'.
