As InxDev says, you can import your APK into Arc Welder.

Once you've done it though, you don't want to have to go through the whole process every time you create a new APK. What I've found through experimentation is that it's possible after importing it to replace it with a newer version.

Locate the APK under the directory you gave Arc Welder to save files in, then copy the new APK over it. I tried using a symbolic link to the file under Android Studio's directories and that wouldn't start, so evidently it does have to be a file. Though on a modern Linux system there's nothing to stop you using inotify to watch for the file changing under Android Studio and have it automatically copied across.

Is there another way that runs the app in debug mode ? – Fouad Wahabi Apr 04 '15 at 18:34 — Fouad Wahabi, Apr 04 '15 at 18:34

Export the APK and then upload it to ARC Welder. Is the easier way.
