∟Installing Application to Phone using "ant installd" Command

This section provides a tutorial example on how to install the debug package of my 'HelloAndroid' application to my LG-P925g phone using the 'ant installd' command through the USB debugging interface.

I think I am ready try to install my own applications on my LG-P925g phone and debug/test them.

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

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

-set-mode-check:

-set-debug-files:

install:
     [echo] Installing
            C:\herong\HelloAndroid\bin\HelloAndroid-debug.apk
            onto default emulator or device...
     [exec] error: more than one device and emulator

BUILD FAILED
C:\local\android-sdk-windows\tools\ant\build.xml:1194:
The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\local\android-sdk-windows\tools\ant\build.xml:1208:
exec returned: 1

Ok. We have an error here. I have both the emulator and the USB device running. The "ant" command does not know which one to use.

I don't see how to provide a command option to help the "ant" command. I am going to shut down my Android emulator to resolve the problem.

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

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

-set-mode-check:

-set-debug-files:

install:
     [echo] Installing
            C:\herong\HelloAndroid\bin\HelloAndroid-debug.apk
            onto default emulator or device...
