Ok, now I know in eclipse, after conect my phone to the computer and in settings mark debugg usb, I run my project but in this case I can choose my phone. However, the point is that after ten minutes the phone continues showing a message which it says downloading... this should only tak a moment, I have tried tree times with the same result. However in the virtual device, it works. What can i do? thank you!

Another way is to install the .apk file located in bin folder in your project files on your micro storage card from your phone and download the app called app installer from android market, Run App installer and select your buzztouch app from your card then install.

That's great advice but there's a gotcha in there. One being unmounting the card. Download an app called ES File Explorer (or app installer, whatever) onto your phone. Plug your phone with the usb cable into your computer. It should mount the memory card. Drag your apk file to the memory card. (It's in the bin folder) Unmount the memory card from the computer. Open ES File Explorer, navigate the SD card until you see the icon for your app. Tap your app icon and follow the directions from there.

Thank you very much both. Now I have another question. How I can distribute my application? I read something but I'm new at this and not have understood. I would like to have a url to download it and other way could be sent from phone to phone via bluetooth. Thanks again!

Well, I'm distributing in Android Market ($25/year for as many apps as you want), Amazon (they waved the fee for the first year). I'm also going to check out these places but don't know yet the cost or if there is a cost or if they are just picking up some kind of feed from Android Market. appbrain.com androlib.com androidpit.com appolicious.com androidzoom.com appshopper.com Be careful with Market because I accidentally uploaded my app for free and it was a hassle to change to a paid app. Hope that helps, Bruce

Hi Bruce, Actually what I want is to upload to my server the application and provide the people a url where they can download the app. Do you know how I can do this? thank you very much
