If your means, how to get the apk file of your android project, you can go to `//bin/` and see the *.apk file. — Hossein Mobasher, Jun 14 '12 at 13:49

Actually if you don't want to publish your app for now,and just want to get it working on your phone, then you just have to copy the yourApp.apk file from /workspace/yourProject/bin directory to your sdcard and then install it.

Eclipse does that for you (if you are only looking ot test it on your device rather than actually create an .apk, which is what it sounds like you really want to do).

Simply plug in your device to your computer after you have installed the proper drivers for it and it should show up as a target if you go to Run -> Run Configurations, select your app and then click on the "Target" tab. Select the device and then you are set to run it on your device from Eclipse.
