Click the download notification to show your Andromo app download item. You may see a message similar to the one shown below:

Next, click on the item containing your Andromo app file to show the "Download Details" dialog. Then click the "Open" button to complete the download as shown below:

At this stage, your Andromo app has been downloaded, however your desktop may try to open the file. If this occurs, just cancel the open operation or desktop app selection.

Your android application can either be downloaded from the link in the build email that was sent to you, or using the Download item in the Action drop-down list next to your project on your My Projects page.

If you encounter a message about the file being "not commonly downloaded" refer to the App Download Problem in Desktop Browsers knowledge base article.

If you encounter a problem with the download link related to a specific browser, or security settings, try right-clicking on the download link and selecting "Save Link As..." as shown below (text may vary between browsers).

 My Download Link Has Expired

Download links that are sent via email will expire in 24 hours. After that period, you will receive an access denied message saying that your "Request has expired." If this case arises, you can download your application using the Download item in the Action drop-down list next to your project on your My Projects page.

The first step is to download your Android Package (APK) file. Andromo will email you a link to your APK file after you have successfully built your application. Simply click on the link and save the file somewhere on your hard drive.

In order to use the ADB you must download and install the Android SDK. Installations instructions are available on the Android Developer website. Once everything is installed you will need to start the Android emulator.

The final step is to use the ADB to install the APK file that you downloaded, from your computer onto the emulator. You will do this via the command line, so on Windows you will need to launch the command prompt, and on OS X or Linux you will need to launch your terminal. There you will be able to instruct the ADB to install your APK via the following command:

<<pathto>>/adb install <<pathto>>/MyApp.apk

For example on Windows you will first need to launch the command prompt by clicking the start button, typing 'cmd' into the Start Search field, and then hitting Enter on your keyboard:

More information on how to launch the command prompt can be found on Microsoft's website.

Now that we have the command prompt started we need to launch the ADB and install the APK onto the emulator. To do this we use the install command detailed above. For my application this is what my command looked like:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-
tools\adb.exe" install "C:\Users\markmruss\Downloads\app_85_2.apk"

If your command is correct you should see something similar to the following:

In order to install your application onto your device (for testing before having added it to Google Play) you will need to allow the installation of applications from unknown sources. This setting can be found in your device's system settings under: Settings > Applications > Unknown sources:

If you do not enable this setting the installation of your application will be blocked by Android:

Once you have enabled the installation of applications from unknown sources you will be able to install and test the application that you just built using andromo.com.

Installing your Application

To install your application on your mobile device you will need to download the Android package (apk) file that represents your application onto your device. This can done by using the download option in the Action drop-down list on your My Projects page on the andromo.com website, or the download link in the email that you receive when your build is complete.

Andromo.com option:

Email link:

Once the apk file has been downloaded you can install it onto the device by launching the Downloads application. You can launch the Downloads application from you web browser using the menu, or by launching the Downloads applications directly:

Web browser menu:

Web browser menu on phone (under More):

Downloads application:

Once the Downloads application has started you should see the apk file that you just downloaded:

Phone view:

All you need to do now is click on the apk file in order to install it. Once you do you will be prompted to accept the installation of your application:

If everything has gone properly your application should be installed and ready to test on your mobile device.

Troubleshooting

Disable or remove any apps that are changing the color of your device, such as F.Lux. If your device has a setting to change the color of your phone at different times of the day, disable that setting. Changing the color is done using a screen filter. Android has a built in security feature that prevents the Install button from working when a screen filter is detected, to prevent the theft of passwords and other information.
