The process encompasses several key steps involved in transferring a functional Android application, initially developed within Embarcadero’s RAD Studio integrated development environment, onto a physical Android device or emulator for testing and demonstration purposes. This undertaking converts the project source code and related assets into an installable Android Package (APK) file and then makes this file available for execution on the target Android platform.
Successfully executing this procedure allows developers to visualize and assess the application’s behavior and appearance on the intended mobile operating system. It allows to perform comprehensive testing, gather user feedback, and showcase the application’s functionality to stakeholders. This step is important for validating that the code functions according to specifications on the intended target. The ability to build and deploy Android apps quickly and efficiently is valuable for agile development environments.
