You typically install the ".apk" file on the emulator or the device and then locate the icon for your application and use that icon to click on it to run.
If you are using eclipse, you can use eclipse to run the project automatically on the emulator or the device. (Eclipse will compile and make the .apk file, and loads it and also starts the application automatically with out locating the icon). The typical sequence of events are 1. Get your source code 2. Make a project in eclipse 3. Compile the project in eclipse (Eclispse is usually set to auto-compile the project) 4. Create an emulator (AVD) that matches with the SDK API level that is used to compile the project 5. Use eclipse to run that project on that specific AVD 6. You can also use the real device instead (But it can be a bit involved in having the eclipse identify the device) http://satyakomatineni.com/android/training http://satyakomatineni.com http://androidbook.com http://twitter.com/SatyaKomatineni On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 3:58 PM, James Spinella <jimmyco2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey all, > > I'm brand new to Android development, well except for rooting, custom ROMs, > etc. I'm going through Google's "lessons" in development, and I'm stuck at > the part where it says to run my app that it just had me make...
