Using the guide at http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/running-app.html, I used adb to download the sample Hello, World app to my android device (a Samsung Admire, SCH-R720) and I can't locate it to launch it. I had the same problem with the emulator. Where does adb put the app? It doesn't seem to get copied to the SD card. I've read the documentation at http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html, and it doesn't say.

You can see all the apps you've ever downloaded on your Android phone by opening the "My apps & games" section in your Google Play Store. The apps you've downloaded are divided into two sections: "Installed" (all the apps currently installed on your phone) and "Library" (all the apps that aren't currently installed).
For normal apps, there are stored in internal memory in /data/app. Some of the encrypted apps, the files are stored in /data/app-private. For apps stored in the external memory, files are stored in /mnt/sdcard/Android/data.
For this, open C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools, check if adb.exe is present. Case 1: If adb is not present: If the adb is not present, installing the platform-tools resolves the problem.
Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile command-line tool that lets you communicate with a device. The adb command facilitates a variety of device actions, such as installing and debugging apps, and it provides access to a Unix shell that you can use to run a variety of commands on a device.
Let's say you named your package com.example.myfirstapp. Then you can check if the package got properly installed with the following command:
adb shell pm list packages com.example.myfirstapp
If it replies with package:com.example.myfirstapp - then you could check the installed package location with:
adb shell pm path com.example.myfirstapp
