[Tips] How do you install and uninstall an APK file in the Android emulator

If you install the application on your device via adb install you should look for the reinstall option which should be -r. So if you do adb install -r you should be able to install without uninstalling before.

adb -s emulator-5554 install jsHybugger.apk     #emulator-5554 -> target device
