I am trying my hands on the android app development and need your suggestions to mitigate my current situation.
My organization has disabled USB for the desktop and I wouldn't be able to connect my phone through USB to test my application as I code.
Is there any other way where we can install the app in the phone as and when we code to test it..? One option can be to export an apk file everytime and install them on the phone by sending this apk through a mail. But this will be a cumbersome activity if we have to test as and when we code.
Any suggestions on this..?
PS: I do not want to hack the desktop to enable the USB.Also using an external laptop with USB enabled is out of option in my case.
Many thanks.
Another way is using AirDroïd. You just need to install it on your test device, and you can manage it with a webapp :
your.static.ip.xx:8888
You can install your app with that way, it's really easy, you don't need any account in a local network.
For testing... no idea without usb, or without the emulator. Maybe you can log everything in a text file & get it (with airdroid for example).
EDIT
I think if you create an account you can use it external of you network. http://web.airdroid.com/ Just create an account, & log on web & on the app, you could use it on the external way.
