How to install apps to Android SDK?

Q. Is there a way to install apps to this android emulator?

A. it's actually very simple
1) note the location of the app (.apk file)
2) in a cmd console - go to the directory where you have extracted the android SDK to (if you do not have the sdk, download it from http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/index.html and extract it)
3) go to the tools directory
4) type 'adb install app.apk' where app.apk is the name of the application you want to install

How to install ADB for my Windows computer/ Metro Pcs LG Esteem Android?
Q. I have an app on my phone that requires me to have ADB. I have the debugging setting changed like it told me to do and now i don't know how to actually install ADB to either my phone or my computer. Help please!?

A. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
download here. Adb is not easy, just a warning. once you install you gotta do a bunch of junk to get it integrated with command prompt. sorry can't help with that part cause I had too look up instructions myself. after that you actually access adb through command prompt (windows key + r » type cmd » enter). so yeah. best of luck cause it's complicated stuff. I have a hard time with it unless there's explicit instructions. I'm wondering what app you're using that requires it?

A. You'll have to root and uninstall via adb. They're called bloatware.


How do I get more memory on my android phone?
Q. I already only have 45mb left of internal memory, yet I've moved every app possible to my SD card.. I can't install anything without it saying memory almost full.

A. Try uninstalling apps which you dont need.
Clearing cache
Delete text messages etc ( although I dont know how much space this takes up)

I DO know , tht you can use ADB on some handsets to force apps to the SD , even if the dev doesnt usually allow A2SD
