First time to installing an app other than via the B4A IDE.
Is it possible to install a B4A app from the apk file (B4AProject.apk in the Object folder, size 17.8 Mb) from a Windows folder
with the phone to install on connected via USB.
Simply double-clicking the apk file brings up a dialog:

How do you want to open this file?
Look for an app in the Microsoft Store.

You must transfer your apk to your device (FTP or others). Then you can install it.

Your database should be part of your apk.
Check FileManager in the IDE and see if you have your db.

Click to expand...
There are 4 SQLite DB files and they are in the APK.
Just have to make sure that the DB copy only runs when there are no DB's yet.
This should be simple.
