Android Programming Tutorials

Your First Android Project

If you have more than one emulator AVD or device available, you will then

get an option to choose which you wish to run the application on.

Otherwise, if you do not have a device plugged in, the emulator will start up

with the AVD you created earlier. Then, Eclipse will install the application

on your device or emulator and start it up.

Step #2: Command Line

For developers not using Eclipse, in your terminal, change into the

Skeleton/Now directory, then run the following command:

ant clean install

The Ant-based build should emit a list of steps involved in the installation

process, which look like this:
