How to test your application directly on phone

[ChromeStacker]

Hi, I am just wondering if there is a way to test your program directly on phone so i will not build the app over and over again and put it on my phone.

when i make an .APK I export it and transfer the APK via FTP to my phone.
There are tons of free FTP server apps on android you can install.

You just download an FTP client like fileZilla.. to connect to the phone.

You can also just connect your USB cable and you'll see your phone
listed as a removable media drive ... and you can just save the
APK directly to the phone.

After that you install the .apk on your phone...
to browse files on your phone you are going to need
a fileBrowser.. there are tons of free FileBrowser Apps on android.

Hope this helps!

If you can find the debug USB drivers for your phone then you can use Fusion 2.5 to run the app on your phone directly from Fusion itself. No need to copy files from directories and onto the phone every time.

Another tip i learned recently, have a handy shortcut to the folder: sdk\platform-tools, hold shift and right click in the folder, then you can choose "open command window here".
write "adb devices" to connect your device and to check that it's connected, if it is, then build and run will work directly from fusion =)
