Test app and generate .apk

Test App in Android Studio

1. You should first enable USB debugging on your phone
2. In Android Studio, navigate to Run -> Run and run the app module. Connect your phone or other Android device to the computer you are running Android Studio on and you should see your device in the following dialog box:
3. The Gradle Build will start. This may take a few minutes.
4. Once the build is finished, open your phone apps menu and look for the name of your app - open and try it out!

• If your app doesn't appear to be running, the Logcat tab at the bottom of your Android Studio will tell you error information. We recommend stackoverflow as a good source for solutions to common problems.

Generate an .apk

1. An .apk file is the filetype of Android apps. The easiest way to share your app with others without putting your app on Google Play is to share this .apk file. Others who install your .apk will not have to do any of the setup we have done here - they'll just download your .apk, and their Android device should prompt them to install your app.
2. Follow the directions to generate a signed APK here.
3. Share your .apk with other annotators!
