adb install command is not working

Question

I am trying to install apk via usb is not installing. Device is detected perfectly .but apk is not installing.

Even i tried with the following command.

D:\Softwares\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>adb install f:Fi
lth\Sample\bin\Sample.apk

D:\Softwares\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>

Solution

First check whether your device is connected or not.If connected,Check there is only one device running i.e. mobile or emulator.

Copy your apk and paste inside the platform-tools folder

D:\Softwares\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>

now shift+right click on the platform-tools folder -> Open command window here

Then check whether your adb is running successfully or not. try these command to restart adb

 adb kill-server
 adb start-server

now you got the message "daemon started successfully"

now just write

adb install Sample.apk

Check out the image if you still have any problem.

did you set the appropriate developer settings on the phone? you have to explicitly allow installing packages not from the app store on most phones.

also, you have to install the usb debugging tool in the sdk file under tools - execute that executable.

Two common causes of failure are that the application is already installed and you do not provide the re-install flag, or that the application is already installed with a different signing certificate in which case you will need to uninstall the existing version first.

Strange thing... When I run install command, it simply stays blank like waiting for something... But the device is rightly connected...
