No stupid questions. Everyone is from fresh man. 1, adb install will install your application under folder /data/app/ with your application package name. For example, you application is MainApplication.apk and its package name is com.android.mainapplication. After install it use this command, there will be an apk under folder /data/app/ and its name is com.android.mainapplication.apk.
2, not sure about command adb shell && pm install ..... I have never use that before. 3, adb push is to push the apk file directly into folder system/app/ and data/app/ and it is mostly like install. but with name different. For example, adb push MainApplication.apk will create a file like / data/app/MainApplication.apk. On Apr 8, 5:01 am, Chi Zhang <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everybody, this is my first post ever.
