I added a DONATE button... my HTC Magic device was stolen.. i need a new one for testing...
Once i have enough for it i will remove the donate button :0)


Now with Mac support :0)


The idea is basic... start the application and drag & drop all your .apk files and they will get installed on your device.
It will accept multiple files, multiple folders or a combination... the app. will automatically pick up any file with the extension .apk or .APK... so just simply drag&drop.

Or you can just double click on any .apk file and the app. will install it for you without the graphical part starting up.
You can follow the progress on the app. and/or find a log.txt inside the folder "Logs". Just make sure to extract the application to a folder where you have write permission or there will be no log files!!!!
A log will be made regardless of the graphical part starting up or not.
Do not forget to give it time to install or the log will be incomplete.

If you want the "-r" flag set then check the comboBox named doReInstall.
The flag "-r" will basically install the app even if it is already installed, but will not disturb the app's settings.
See the adb doc for more info.


DO NOT TOUCH THE "Tools" AND "Logs" FOLDERS....
NOR SHOULD YOU MOVE/TOUCH THE ".bat" OR ".sh" FILES (unless you KNOW what you are doing).


Windows:
Double click on the "AppInstaller.jar" file or on the "WindowsRunMe.bat" to start the graphical app.

If you want the .apk double-click feature do the following:
1)Right-click on any .apk file and choose "properties".
2)Under "Opens with" row choose "change".
3)Navigate to where the "WindowsRunMe.bat" is located and select it.
4)Choose "ok" then "Apply".
5)Enjoy :0)
Remember that the log files will still be under the "Logs" folder.

You want the reInstall-feature when you use the double clicks? Then right-click on the .bat file and choose "edit".
Change "DOREINSTALL=false" to "DOREINSTALL=true". Save!
That's it :0)



Linux(Ubuntu running gnome desktop/nautilus) :
DO NOT START THE APP WITH DOUBLE CLICK...IT WILL NOT LOAD CORRECTLY.
ALWAYS USE "LinuxRunMe.sh" SCRIPT.
REMEMBER TO GIVE THE SCRIPT EXECUTE PERMISSION :0)

If you want the .apk double-click feature do the following:
1)Right-click on any .apk file and choose "properties".
2)Under the "Open with" tab choose "add".
3)Choose "use custom command" and navigate to where the "LinuxRunMe.sh" file is located and select it.
4)Make sure that the .sh file is highlighted under the "Open with" tab.
5)Enjoy :0)
Remember that the log files will still be under the "Logs" folder.

You want the reInstall-feature when you use the double clicks? Then double-click on the .sh file and choose "Display".
Change "DOREINSTALL=false" to "DOREINSTALL=true". Save!
That's it :0)


MAC:
I have no idea, but i bet that the linux way should work :0)
Can somebody confirm?


Hope that you will like the work.

Don't forget to say thanks :0)

Mac users!

I have no mac... so i can not test the app...
Please feel free to confirm it's working :0)

The app is in java, so it should run on all platforms :0)


ALL FEEDBACK ARE WELCOMED...
If you get/find any bugs, post the log file here or send it to me in a PM.
Then i can debug it :0)

I tested it on both linux and windows(xp + 7). It was working fine.

The adb binary are inside the Tools folder... So there is no need to set the system-path thingy..
Just to make it easier for people :0)
Again.. DO NOT TOUCH THEM NOR THE SCRIPTS.

There are much better Solutions for Windows like DroidExplorer and AndroidCommander. Dont know if they are aviable for Linux/Max.

Anyway thanks for your work =)

Did not know about them..
But this is a single purpose solution... INSTALL OF APK(s).

The other tools are way to cluttered and advanced...
This is simple and fast....

I like it :0)
But thx for the info... i can surly use them for more advance stuff :0)

All you need is this batch file: (should work with all windows pc even 64-bit)

http://www.mediafire.com/?kce3i3249sbdtf1

it can also work with ADB over wifi with addition of:

Code:
adb connect [B]ip[/B]:[B]port[/B]

at the beginning the file.

sorry but I didn't feel like making a whole new thread just for 6 lines of post.

Well thanks for your effort...
The app does much than you batch file does.
It takes multiple files + multiple folders and the mix.
It will automatically pick up any apk file and install it.
Just read the first page again :0)

Yeah I know what your app does but I didn't feel like making a whole new thread just for double-clicking APKs, I know your app does it in your own way.

Perhaps you could also incorporate it in your app so that people can also install by double-click in addition to batch installation with your app :)

Well it did not make sense to work with it any more...
I found out that you can install apk using htc sync...
Plus i only have > 120 downloads... not worth spending more time on it...
But still no one reported any bugs :0)

    It is... the adb binaries should be bundled with this tool.. It will not use your adb files...
    I just never added mac support..
    I will do so very soon.. i have the code for it, because i use it for the fastboot commander tool (check my signature)...
    So it's just a matter of copy and paste...
    Stay tuned for an updated :0)

    Please feel free to test it and confirm that it's working..
