What does "cordova run android" does?

Does it run cordova build android then install the APK onto the device / emulator?

If not, what does it really do? I've tried searching for more details on cordova documentation site but to no avail.

Would appreciate any help

Solution

  • Yes, you're pretty much right. Citing from the Cordova CLI reference:

    The run command ...

    Prepares, builds, and deploys app on specified platform devices/emulators. If a device is connected it will be used, unless an eligible emulator is already running.
