How do I install an Android app?

I understand how to build the sample apps using Android Studio and Gradle, but I'm not seeing how to connect my computer to the Clover Mini. How do I get the actual APK onto the Clover Mini and how can I debug the app once its on the device?

You will connect your device to your computer via USB cable. Follow the instructions on these pages for more information:

You can use the adb command to install the APK or you can install it directly from Android Studio. Developing apps on Clover is similar to developing for most android devices. Read more about debugging here and android here:

Thanks, Jacob. It looks like I was missing the Clover unit specific USB cable.

You can use any USB type A to B cable with Clover Mini. With Clover Mobile you use any standard micro-USB to type A cable that comes with most phones. It should have been included with your devkit.

There is no USB port on the tablet, do I need to use the port under the printer?

Sandbox Clover Station will not allow debugging via USB. In order to use ADB with a sandbox Station device, you must connect via WiFi, as described in the link below.

But an USB port is needed to setup WIFI debug.
