"How to install .apk files in android SDK on Windows 7 "

Here is an alternative solution for those who are getting this message: " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. " in android emulator on Windows7 with latest Android v 2.2, 2.3.

What I have noticed is that if you install the latest android SDK emulator, these three files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and InstallAgent(batch file) are missing from "android-sdk-windows/tools" folder, which is required to run adb command. So I copied these three files to the "tools" folder and followed the steps described above.

Download the adb.zip file which contains adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and InstallAgent(batch file)

I have summarized the steps for Windows7 with latest android SDk:

STEP 1. Download the Latest Android SDK from Google

STEP 2. Install JDK(java development kit) from Oracle and then launch the "SDK Manager.exe", download and update the Android SDK version (eg. v2.3, API9) and other stuffs.

STEP 3. Create an AVD (virtual device) with a suitable android platform(API and version) using Adroid SDk and AVD manager.
STEP 4. Select and launch the AVD (Wait for the android to boot properly).

STEP 5. Unzip adb.zip , then copy and paste adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and InstallAgent(batch file) to the "android-sdk-windows/tools/" folder.

STEP 6. Copy and paste Sudoku.apk inside the "android-sdk-windows/tools" folder.

STEP 7. Open a command line window(cmd), change your directory to "android-sdk-windows/tools/" where adb and Sudoku.apk is located "cd" command(see the command line pic). Run the adb command "adb install Sudoku.apk" and enjoy :D
In case if you get error messages then please do read the tutorial again, see to it that you have copied the apk file in the right folder or there is no uppercase/lower case error while typing file name. Now switch to your Android emulator, and click on the menu button, you will observe that a Sudoku application appears in the grid view.

Here is A solution

Solution 1

In this case try to shutdown adb server and start it manually using :

$adb kill-server

$adb start-server

You can test if deamon is working by running $adb shell

The uninstall procedure is

$adb shell rm your_application.apk

[thxx75]

solution 2 If you have the Android SDK.zip file unzip it to a new location Add SDK_ROOT to your system variables pointing to /tools folder under the sdk Run the emulator Copy the dropbox.apk file to /tools folder

 Change directory to /tools and run from commandline $adb install dropbox.apk Now check applications list in the emulator and you should see the new application installed and ready.

Hope this help, enjoy

thanks

thx

cant find WMW136.apk to install" what can i do?

[yuriko189]

@premagn hey did u get an answer to your question because i have the same question.

[epccsplayer]

I installed a program to my emulator, only to find out I hadn't installed the Google API's in my SDK. I went back, downloaded Google's API's, and then created a new emulator that runs under these new parameters. The trouble is, adb keeps telling me it's "already installed." Anyone have any insight into this? Much appreciated...

[TheLyricallylyrical]

@streaklyern you probably have the same version i do. if you haven't got it working yet replace tools in your command lines with platform-tools

[TheLyricallylyrical]

@thxx75 I fixed the error by using platform-tools instead of just tools. Thats where the adb etc. is on the newer installs

[ashiqurroh]
