∟Installing Application to Tablet using "ant installd" Command

This section provides a tutorial example on how to install the debug package of my 'HelloAndroid' application to my LG-V905R tablet using the 'ant installd' command through the USB debugging interface.

I think I am ready try to install my own applications on my LG-V905R tablet and debug/test them.

Let's try to install the "HelloAndroid" debug package to my tablet first using the "ant installd" command. See previous tutorials on how to build the debug package.

You may need to shutdown the Android emulator to run "ant installd", because it can not support 2 connected Android devices.

C:\herong\HelloAndroid>\local\apache-ant-1.8.3\bin\ant installd

Unable to locate tools.jar.
Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\tools.jar
Buildfile: C:\herong\HelloAndroid\build.xml

-set-mode-check:

-set-debug-files:

install:
     [echo] Installing C:\herong\HelloAndroid\bin\HelloAndr
oid-debug.apk onto default emulator or device...
     [exec]     pkg: /data/local/tmp/HelloAndroid-debug.apk
     [exec] Success
     [exec] 1125 KB/s (14980 bytes in 0.013s)

installd:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 3 seconds

Ok. We have an error here. The default Java environment on my Windows system is JRE 1.6, which does not have the tools.jar, which required by "ant"

I need to set the JAVA_HOME variable to point to the JDK environment, which contains the tools.jar file.

Go to the emulator Windows and close it. Then rerun the "ant installd" command:

C:\herong\HelloAndroid>set "JAVA_HOME=\Program Files\java\jdk1.7.0_03"

C:\herong\HelloAndroid>\local\apache-ant-1.8.3\bin\ant installd
Buildfile: C:\herong\HelloAndroid\build.xml
