| Hi all - I can compile targeting the Android platform and the app automatically installs on the emulator. This works great. My question is - How do I get it to automatically install on my android device (Nexus 7 tablet - Jellybean) after compiling - just like with the emulator? thanks, Chris |

| I just copy it to a folder on the android via USB.  When I tap on it I get an option to install. |

| Yes - of course I can copy the files over manually. The point of my post was to find out if there was a way to have the app automatically install on an android device after compilation. |

| I connected my Galaxy Tab via USB to the PC, enabled the USB-Debugging on the Tab and installed the connection Software. Sometimes you need to install the USB drivers from the Android SDK too. |

| I'll give it a try. Thanks! |

| Sometimes, on my iMAC, I had to do the build process twice as the first time it said, that it could not find the device. | 
|

| Personnally i use ftp to send the apk on a website. Like this the app is available for all devices. (beta-testers, family and friends) |

| I used these steps http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html After this I turn on USB Debugging and connect my device to my computer, then compile with the android target, then it automatically runs the application there. |

| @BlitzProg I also do it this way, the app installs but it does not auto run.. my build message ends with:  ...  error: device not found * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * Done. Do you also get debug info in the monkey console? That would be nice |
