You can test the app on your phone (if you have an android phone)

I know you're new monu singh - but before posting on the forum, please take a minute or two to google your question to find the answer. I'll be happy to answer your question here, but in the future, you will learn much faster and more efficiently if you search for answers on the web yourself, especially for common beginner problems like this one. If you can't find your answer online, feel free to post in the forum!

Enable developer options on your phone by going to Settings > About Phone. Tap on "Build Number" 7 times and that will enable a secret menu called "Developer Options" in settings.

In developer options, Check the box that says "Enable USB Debugging." Connect your phone to your machine while Android Studio is open. On your device, you should see a debug authorization dialog box. Allow permission, then click the run button in Android Studio and you should be good to go.

It may take a few minutes for the app to compile, but that's pretty much it.
