Android Studio Self-Made App to Actual Android Device

I was wondering how I could be able to download my android app (fun facts) on my actual Android device.. Are there ways I could download the apk file from the project so that I could immediately open it on my phone? (not through an emulator)

Thank you!

Hey Heather

Hows it going !!. you can actually just run it while your phone is connected via usb and it will install it for you there are a few other ways but that is the easiest. Make sure to have the allow unsigned apks in the developer settings on your device set to allow.

Hope this helps

Doug
