Hi all,

I've compiled a simple .class file and cobbled together
a manifest. I now want to try to run the program in the emulator.
However it's not running.

First I run the emulator with "emulator -avd my_avd".
That starts up fine.

Then I create a jar file with "jar cf HelloAndroid.jar
AndroidManifest.xml".

Then I try to create the apk file but there seems to be no result:
$ apkbuilder.bat HelloAndroid.apk -v -rj HelloAndroid.jar
Using keystore: C:\Documents and Settings\Me\.android\debug.keystore

m...@darkstar /cygdrive/c/android
$ adb install HelloAndroid.apk
can't find 'HelloAndroid.apk' to install  <----------

FWIW my classpath is:

$ echo $CLASSPATH
c:/android/platforms/android-1.5/android.jar

Lacking an apk, I try installing the jar file instead
but this doesn't work. It gives this error:

$ adb install HelloAndroid.jar
25 KB/s (2023 bytes in 0.078s)
        pkg: /data/local/tmp/HelloAndroid.jar
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]

My jar file contents are:
$ jar tfv HelloAndroid.jar
     0 Fri Aug 14 17:08:56 EDT 2009 META-INF/
    71 Fri Aug 14 17:08:56 EDT 2009 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
   545 Fri Aug 14 15:21:50 EDT 2009 HelloAndroid.class
  4383 Fri Aug 14 17:08:56 EDT 2009 AndroidManifest.xml

Can anyone explain why this is not working?

I would greatly prefer learn how to do things from the command line.

Thanks for any help.
