Steps (These apply for Linux. For other OS, visit [here][1]) -

1. Copy the apk file to `platform-tools` in `android-sdk linux` folder.
2. Open **Terminal** and **navigate to platform-tools** folder in **android-sdk**.
3. Then Execute this command - 
&gt; ./adb install FileName.apk
4. If the operation is successful (the result is displayed on the screen), then you will find your file in the launcher of your emulator.

You need to install the APK on the emulator.  You can do this with the `adb` command line tool that is included in the Android SDK.

    adb -e install -r yourapp.apk

Once you&#39;ve done that you should be able to run the app.

The `-e` and `-r` flags might not be necessary.  They just specify that you are using an emulator (if you also have a device connected) and that you want to replace the app if it already exists.

Start an Android Emulator (make sure that all supported APIs are included when you created the emulator, we needed to have the Google APIs for instance).

Then simply email yourself a link to the .apk file, and download it directly in the emulator, and click the downloaded file to install it.

Step-by-Step way to do this:

 1. Install Android SDK
 2. Start the emulator by going to $SDK_root/emulator.exe
 3. Go to command prompt and go to the directory $SDK_root/platform-tools (or else add the path to windows environment)
 4. Type in the command adb install &lt;path to filename.apk&gt;
 5. Bingo. Your app should be up and running on the emulator

I want to rename a table... (any table.)

I tried this line of code:

    ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements.rename_table(old_name, new_name)


Here&#39;s the weird thing.  I know I got it working the first time, but now I get this error: undefined method `rename_table&#39; for ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements:Module

Was there something I need to set?


Renaming table in rails

 1. According to the &quot;REST ideology&quot; what should be in the response body for a PUT/POST/DELETE requests?

 2. What about return codes? Is `HTTP_OK` enough?

 3. What is the reason for such conventions, if any?

I&#39;ve found a good post describing POST/PUT differences: [POST vs PUT][1]
But it still doesn&#39;t answer my question.

I am receiving many errors of kind displayed in the subj. These errors seems to be occasional and I cannot reproduce them. From stack I can learn that such error may occurs for my different layout resources. The line of XML is also varying.

Can anybody explain why this error occurs? And what I can do to fix this problem?

Please, what is the device with the minimum screen resolution on the market?

Minimum screen resolution for Android devices

I have a search screen which can be launched from clicking on a &quot;name&quot; field of another screen.

If the user follows this workflow, I add an extra to the Intent&#39;s Extras called &quot;search&quot;. This extra uses the text populating the &quot;name&quot; field as its value.  When the search screen is created, that extra is used as a search parameter and a search is automatically launched for the user.

However, since Android destroys and recreates Activitys when the screen rotates, rotating the phone causes an auto-search again.  Because of this, I&#39;d like to remove the &quot;search&quot; extra from the Activity&#39;s Intent when the initial search is executed.

I&#39;ve tried doing this like so:

        Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
        if (extras != null) {
        	if (extras.containsKey(&quot;search&quot;)) {
        		mFilter.setText(extras.getString(&quot;search&quot;));
        		launchSearchThread(true);
        		extras.remove(&quot;search&quot;);
        	}
        }

However, this isn&#39;t working.  If I rotate the screen again, the &quot;search&quot; extra still exists in the Activity&#39;s Intent&#39;s Extras.

Any ideas?

I&#39;m trying to create a screen with both text and images. I want the images to be laid out like a grid, as shown below, but I want them to have no scroll functionality other that the one provided by the surrounding ScrollView. 

An image will best illustrate my question:

![alt text][1]


    &lt;ScrollView&gt;
        &lt;LinearLayout&gt;
            &lt;ImageView /&gt;
            &lt;TextView /&gt;
            &lt;GridView /&gt;
            &lt;TextView /&gt;
        &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
    &lt;/ScrollView&gt;

What is the best way to make show a grid of a varying number of images, where the grid does not have scroll functionality?

Please note that disabling the scroll functionality for the GridView does not work, as this just disables the scrollbars but does not show all items.


Update:
The image below shows what it looks like with scrollbars disabled in the GridView.

Is possible to programmatically install a dynamically downloaded apk from a custom Android application.

Install Application programmatically on Android

I&#39;m getting this error from time to time and don&#39;t know what causing this:  
When trying to run/debug an Android app on a real device (Galaxy Samsung S in my case) I&#39;m getting the following error in the Console:  

&gt; Failed to install *.apk on device *: 

&gt; timeout   Launch canceled!

This is all the Console is telling me. LogCat doesn&#39;t provide any information. Eclipse Problems view is not showing any issues. 


I tried the following steps with no success:  
1. Cleaning the project (Project-&gt;Clean)  
2. Restarting device, Eclipse, laptop, all of the above...  
3. Moving the project to a location without spaces, according to &lt;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4552435/failed-to-install-apk-on-device-emulator-5554-timeout&gt;   


The app has been debugged in the past on that device many times (app is live on Market), but this problem happens every so often, and is VERY FRUSTRATING...

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Android error: Failed to install *.apk on device *: timeout

I am trying to distribute my application to some people for testing.
I have installed it on my Desire directly from eclipse and it works fine.

To create an APK-file, I choose *&quot;Export Unsigned Application Package&quot;* directly from eclipse, and then an APK file was created. I emailed it to myself and downloaded the file to the SD-card. But when I try to install it (using ES File Browser), I get a message saying *&quot;Application not installed&quot;*.

(I have already checked the &quot;Allow installation of non-Market application&quot; on my phone)
Any ideas?


**Yeah I found the problem, see my answer below:**

I did not know that even with the &quot;[Allow Installation of non-Marked application][1]&quot;, I still needed to sign the application.
I self-signed my application, following this link self-sign and release application, It only took 5 minutes, then I emailed the signed-APK file to myself and downloaded it to SD-card and then installed it without any problem.

unsigned APK can not be installed

I had uploaded my app to Google Play (back when it was called Android Market) some time ago.

Today I updated the app, but I had deleted the previous keystore and created a new one.  
When uploading, it says the APK must be signed with the same certificates as the previous version:

&gt; Upload failed
&gt;
&gt;  You uploaded an APK that is signed with a different certificate to your previous APKs. You must use the same certificate.
&gt; 
&gt; Your existing APKs are signed with the certificate(s) with fingerprint(s):  
&gt; [ SHA1: 89:2F:11:FE:CE:D6:CC:DF:65:E7:76:3E:DD:A7:96:4F:84:DD:BA:33 ]  
&gt; and the certificate(s) used to sign the APK you uploaded have fingerprint(s):  
&gt; [ SHA1: 20:26:F4:C1:DF:0F:2B:D9:46:03:FF:AB:07:B1:28:7B:9C:75:44:CC ]

But I don&#39;t have this certificate, and don&#39;t want to delete and re-publish the application, because it has active users.

What can I do to sign my app with new certificate?
