How to get an .apk file from Android device? I need to get the apk file for an app from a development device (Galaxy Nexus). I've had very little contact with Android before.

I know the name of the app and have tried to search the "internal storage" that shows up in explorer when I connect it but no apk file with the app name shows up.

I also tried logging into the shell using adb, but I have no "find" command and no permission to list "/data/" where the apk files are supposed to be.

I'd really appreciate if someone could help me out here! Thanks!
I found this to be the easiest way:

adb shell pm list packages


find my apps package "my.package.name"

adb shell pm path my.package.name

adb pull /data/app/my.package.name


Thanks for your answers though!
