cannot run MyFirstApp on windows 7 with adb
<p>It seems it is not an easy thing to start android development. I followed the <strong>official</strong> instruction and tried to run the <strong>MyFirstApp</strong> example from <strong>developer.android.com</strong> on my Windows 7 64bit machine. But after 2 days effort, I am still cannot make it work for me in <strong>Eclipse</strong> <code>and</code> in <strong>adb command line</strong>. </p>

<p>The best I reached in <strong>command line</strong> approach is the following:</p>

<pre><code>E:\Workspace\MyFirstApp&gt;ls bin
AndroidManifest.xml               build.prop
AndroidManifest.xml.d             classes
MyFirstApp-debug-unaligned.apk    classes.dex
MyFirstApp-debug-unaligned.apk.d  classes.dex.d
MyFirstApp-debug.apk              dexedLibs
MyFirstApp.ap_                    proguard.txt
MyFirstApp.ap_.d                  res

E:\Workspace\MyFirstApp&gt;adb install bin\MyFirstApp-debug.apk
failed to copy 'bin\MyFirstApp-debug.apk' to '/data/local/tmp/MyFirstApp-debug.a
pk': No such file or directory
rm failed for /data/local/tmp/MyFirstApp-debug.apk, No such file or directory
</code></pre>

<p>I hope somebody can help me about these:</p>

<ol>
<li>I am in Windows, why adb want to find <strong>/data/local/tmp</strong>, which is linux style location?</li>
<li>where does the <strong>adb</strong> try to copy the <strong>apk</strong> file to? My SDK is installed under <strong>"C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk"</strong>. There is no space in the address path. The source <strong>apk</strong> file is ready and should not be the cause of that error, I think.</li>
<li>Any <strong>configuration</strong> of the installed SDK needs to be modified in Windows machine? I think the <strong>SDK manager</strong> should be able to figure out what the machine is and download/install appropriate components for the user. Is that right?</li>
</ol>

<p>I have similar or the same issue by using <strong>Eclipse</strong>.</p>

<p>thanks,</p>
