I have created a very small android app. I don't want to publish it to public. I just want my other friend to run my app on his phone. I don't have android phone but my friend has one. I have developed the app using eclipse IDE. How do I bundle it to apk and give it to him. I am a beginner (even less than a beginner) - please tell me what should I do ?
- android
Follow these instructions (read from where it says Compile and sign with Eclipse ADT), then email him the apk! He'll need to put in on his phone's SD card and install it from there.
I assume you are using Android Studio for application development.
Follow these steps:
Go to "build" from the navigation bar in Android Studio.
Go to "build bundle(s)/APK(s)" from the drop down that appears.
Click on "build APK(s)". You will get a notification box at the bottom right of your screen.
Click on "locate". Two files will appear. One is a "
.json" file and one is an ".apk" file.Send these files to your friends on WhatsApp and tell them to download the JSON file and install the APK file. Now your application is running.
You are done.
If you email him the apk using it's gmail he can install it from within the gmail app opening the attachment :P.

Here is a link to the android developer's documentation on other ways to share your app.
The easiest way to share an app is by sending it through e-mail. In order to share it via e-mail, you need to prepare your app for release and then attach it to the email and send it.
After that , anyone receiving the email can instantly install the app through the click of a button.
Although there's many steps in creating the app the most important is creating a keystore and a key for your app which will help you generate a signed app. Once you have the signed app you can also share the apk file by itself wherever needed, you're not restricted to sending it via e-mail. Make sure your friends have their setting set for installing apps from unknown sources
through the Settings >> Security menu. If you need any more help let me know.
Hope this helps you :)

If you are using Android studio that's too simple,
- go to Build -> Build Bundle(s) / APK(s) -> Build APK (s).
Wait till the build is completed.
- In the corner, you will see some like this screenshot. Click on Locate.
- There in the opening folder, your app is located with the name
app-debug.apk
Share this app file with friends.
Note: Friends may get a warning like this
tell them to click on
INSTALL ANYWAY
You are done!
In Android Studio Menu Build > "Generate Signed APK". Follow the instructions on screen at the last step let yourself show the place where the release APK is placed (on my Mac it says "Show in Finder"). E-Mail that apk file to your friend. When an alert comes up that apps from unknown sources cannot be accepted the settings can be temporarily overridden and then it will work.
1st In Android studio navigate to "Build" then generate a signed .apk (MUST USE .APK) If you want to share it without publishing it on google play. 2nd upload the .apk to your google drive, then on google drive right click the . then click on copy link. Last share and copy this link with any one or anywhere on the internet. If you want to trestrict to only few people go back to google drive right click on the 
apk.apk once again select or mention a category of people you will want to share with.
NOTE: IF YOU SHARE THE LINK PUBLIC ON THE INTERNET WHENEVER SOMEONE OR ANYONE CLICK ON IT, IT WILL BE DOWNLOADED AUTOMATICALLY AND INSTALLED BY PACKAGE INSTALLER

How to send files to WhatsApp in ZIP, RAR, APK, EXE, PDF, DOC, PPT, XLS
WhatsApp messenger is one of the most popular cross-platform applications today, with the help of which mobile users around the world correspond with friends and colleagues, get acquainted, send pictures, videos, communicate, in general.
They even say that WhatsApp is confidently catching up with global social networks in terms of the number of active users precisely because, in particular, because the program itself is extremely easy to learn and use, there are no annoying ads, in addition, anyone can download it and put on your smartphone or tablet and use for free.
Another thing is that WhatsApp, like all similar software products, in addition to wide opportunities for communication, has some limitations, in some cases quite uncomfortable, I must say.
One of these unpleasant restrictions is the file format in which the user is allowed to send audio, video, various graphics and documents through the messenger.
{updated 07/15/2017}
With the latest WhatsApp update, users finally got the opportunity to freely (i.e., approximately like in Skype) DIRECTLY send / receive files in the messenger in a wide variety of formats.
However, the new functionality is only available in the latest version of WhatsApp. Therefore, if you don’t see anything similar in your WhatsApp at the moment, just update it. Requires WhatsApp Messenger v. 2.17.254 and newer.
By the way, at the time of publication of this add-on, it was not yet in the "domestic" Play Market, so we downloaded the update, as usual with APKMirror ( here is the link ), moreover, already in version 2.17.261 beta.
After a successful update of WhatsApp, support for sending / receiving files is automatically enabled in it. You can now send any file format directly, but keep in mind that the file sizes you can send to WhatsApp are limited. In the Android OS, you can send a file "weight" of no more than 100 MB at a time, in iOS - no more than 128 MB.
how to send a file to WhatsApp
Very simple. We open the chat, at the bottom of the screen we tap the icon in the form of a “paper clip” (standardly denoting an attachment), in the menu that appears, select the file type (it’s not clear why, however, since the format can be any), then we find and tap the file itself, and it is sent to your interlocutor .
A picture will appear in the chat indicating the type of file sent and its name.
WhatsApp images can now be sent without compression
That is, if you transfer a picture in a chat directly, then the messenger automatically compresses it. Then, if the recipient will only view it in his WhatsApp, then such permission is usually enough. But if he tries to look at this picture on a big screen or print it, then the quality will surely upset him.
So, in order for this not to happen, and the picture you sent to the recipient reached its original quality, you just need to send it in the way described above. I mean: tap "paperclip" -> select "Document" in the menu -> specify the image you need . The picture will be sent without compression.
old but useful content from 01/05/2014
What if you need to send documents or, for example, a file archived in RAR? (Don't know what it is? Here you can download the RAR archiver for free).
In fact, of course, you can't just send docs and RAR archives, as well as ZIP, APK, EXE, PDF, PPT and XLS to WhatsApp. But with a competent approach to business, using WhatsApp, you can send any files, moreover, quickly and easily. Now we will tell you how to do it.
So,
how to send ZIP, RAR, APK, EXE, PDF, DOC, PPT, XLS files to WhatsApp online services Dropbox (cloud storage) and CloudSend (sending files). Please note: you need exactly both applications (both are on Google Play).STEP 2 : Open CloudSend, the program will ask you to allow linking to your Dropbox account. We allow.
STEP 3 : Next, those files that need to be sent are simply sent to Cloudsend. The application will automatically upload them to your Dropbox account, after which you will receive a link (that is, you do not need to pre-upload files to Dropbox).
STEP 4 : Now we copy this link and send it via WhatsApp to our interlocutor, who then downloads and opens the file in any format.
Of course, in this case, the option to send files in this way is not a built-in function of the WhatsApp messenger, but it works. Plus, the whole procedure is carried out through secure servers.
