It s not officially supported yet   Edit   It s now supported in modern versions of Android Studio  at least on some platforms   Old workarounds  If you re using an old version of Android Studio which doesn t support the Google Play Store  and you refuse to upgrade  here are two possible workarounds    Ask your favorite app s maintainers to upload a copy of their app into the Amazon Appstore   Next  install the Appstore onto your Android device   Finally  use the Appstore to install your favorite app  Or   Do a Web search to find a  apk file for the software you want   For example  if you want to install SleepBot in your Android emulator  you can do a Google Web search for   SleepBot apk     Then use adb install to install the  apk file
