You need to install the APK on the emulator. You can do this with the adb
command line tool that is included in the Android SDK.
adb -e install -r yourapp.apk
Once you've done that you should be able to run the app.
The -e
and -r
flags might not be necessary. They just specify that you are using an emulator (if you also have a device connected) and that you want to replace the app if it already exists.
