How can I install an application without any developer tools (Eclipse, Android SDK tools)?
I've compiled and created an .apk file. Now I am gonna send this apk file to my friend.
He is not an Android developer; he doesn't know how to use Eclipse or the SDK. And I don't want to publish my application to android market.
Is there a way to launch the application on a real device without publishing it or having access to a machine with the SDK?

You should set Settings -> Application -> Unknown sources to allow installation from non-Market. Then, once your application is published somewhere, you can download it an install it.
yes. You Can . Simply you can user Command Line . Command Android Development I will rather use IDE just to get things done faster.
Run on an emulatorIn Android Studio, create an Android Virtual Device (AVD) that the emulator can use to install and run your app. In the toolbar, select your app from the run/debug configurations drop-down menu. From the target device drop-down menu, select the AVD that you want to run your app on. Click Run .
From your smartphone or tablet running Android 4.0 or higher, go to Settings, scroll down to Security, and select Unknown sources. Selecting this option will allow you to install apps outside of the Google Play store. Depending on your device, you can also choose to be warned before installing harmful apps.
You can deploy the .apk file on your local server(apache or jboss) with a static IP to make the file available for download. Now just open the download link of the apk file in your mobile browser. The device will automatically start the installation after the download completes.
