1what do you mean by **permanent installation**? – Sahil Mahajan Mj Feb 17 '14 at 12:05

Looks like you are wiping data on every run – nikis Feb 17 '14 at 12:09

Also, please explain why, without "permanent installation", you think that "it is very hard for testing a application". What specific problems are you encountering? – CommonsWare Feb 17 '14 at 12:40

What do you mean exactly by "permanent". An application installed with "adb install " will persist in the AVD you have created, unless you use "wipe data" on every run, which is really not recommended.
Only applications that are pre-installed on the system image cannot be removed (but they still can be disabled in later Android versions, which does the same except the files are not removed, and you can later re-enable it).

Note that a "Cold Boot" of the emulator also removes all installed apps. – gmoz22 Sep 06 '19 at 17:59

i'm having the same issue even tho im not using any "wipe data" or resetting , my command to start the emulator is very simple : emulator.exe -avd
, that is no extra lines and yet each start i find the previous apps get wiped !!!! – The Doctor Feb 01 '23 at 04:51
