Install Android app in Eclipse without running it

Question

I'm using Eclipse to develop a bunch of Android apps and I need to batch install them, either on the emulator or on an attached device. I'd like to be able to push them all to the device without running them individually in Eclipse.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

try using adb.

adb install -r your/path/to/file.apk

-r is forced install.

You can also create a batch file with number of adb install commands.
