Steps (These apply for Linux. For other OS, visit here) -
platform-tools
in android-sdk linux
folder../adb install FileName.apk

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.
Start an Android Emulator (make sure that all supported APIs are included when you created the emulator, we needed to have the Google APIs for instance).
Then simply email yourself a link to the .apk file, and download it directly in the emulator, and click the downloaded file to install it.
