Sign and deploy Android App

So far all my exercise run on emulator in local development platform. In order to make it runnable on true device, it have to be signed and deployed to apk file.

It's a easy way in Eclipse to sign a Android App.

- In Eclipse, right click the proect and select Export...
Sign and deploy Android App

- Select Android -> Export Android Application then click Next.
Sign and deploy Android App

- Browse to select project, it should be selected already, just click Next.
Sign and deploy Android App

-
Select Create neww keystore it it's the first time you create keystore for a project.
Select the location of keystore you want to create.
Enter and confirm password
Sign and deploy Android App

- Enter some info. for the certificate, then Next
Sign and deploy Android App

- Browse to select the target location you want to save the generated apk file, then click Finish.
Sign and deploy Android App

- Now, you can upload the generated apk file to internet and lets Android device to download and install.

I can't believe no one else has thanked you for this yet. But thanks a lot, I was having a horrible time trying to do this manually.
