Part VII: Appendixes > Installing and Uninstalling Applications
Installing and Uninstalling Applications
You can use ADB to install and uninstall packages (applications) on a given Android device or emulator. Although the Eclipse plug-in does this for developers automatically, this functionality is useful for developers not using the Eclipse and for those developers and testers who want to create automated build procedures and testing environments. ADB can also be used to install third-party application packages, including those that are self-distributed and not found on application stores such as the Android Market.
Note
|
| All Android applications are installed as packages created with the Android Asset Packaging Tool (aapt). This is the tool used by the Eclipse plug-in as well. |
