how to install .apk in a portable android emulator?

Question

I followed the instruction on this tutorial How do you install an APK file in the Android emulator? but it doesnt install the apk. instead, it gives me this message "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command"

i think the problem here is im using a portable adt plugin and also a portable eclipse. is there anyway to install a downloaded apk file in my portable emulator?

go to your platform-tools folder from your android sdk dir and try in cmd promt

adb -e install c:/Projectapk_folder/yourapk.apk

Note: Emulator is in running mode.

EDIT: type adb command and check

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices

How is this emulator portable? Is it possible to run this emulator with installed .apk on another computer? – Florian Fröhlich Nov 25 '14 at 08:57

The easiest way ever 1- First play the emulator from AVD manager 2- Just drag the .apk file and drop on the emulator screen I tried on mac and it works well
