Android Question Install an APK with B4A bridge…

[canalrun]

Hello,
Is it possible to install an APK using the B4A bridge without recompiling in B4A. I know I can do this using ADB, but ADB requires a USB cable to be connected and not all my devices work with ADB (don't know why).

All my devices work with the B4A bridge.

It would be nice to install and test an APK on multiple devices without having to recompile each time. Once an APK is declared "finished" and ready for testing, there should be no chance it can change.

More importantly, a previous version APK can be restored from backup and tested without having to resurrect and recompile the entire project.

I can install an APK using ADB on some devices, but other devices refuse to work with ADB. All my devices work with the B4A bridge. Can I install an APK using the B4A bridge without recompiling?

Barry.

There are several "extended" versions of B4A-Bridge. Check this tool: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4abridgeplus-utility-program.8120/#content

Hello,
For those who read the B4A forums but not the B4J forums...

I have uploaded an APK installer, with source, written in B4J that uses the standard B4A Bridge to install an APK to a device without opening the B4A IDE. You can see it in This Thread.
