      <step>
        <cmd>From the command-line, or from within your build script, invoke the appvalidator script located in the
          MOTODEV Studio for Android installation directory. Note that on Microsoft Windows the script is a batch file
          (appvalidator.bat), while on Mac OS X and Linux it is a shell script (appvalidator.sh). Specify the APK file
          or the Android project folder for the application to be validated. If your system path does not include the
          location of the Android SDK's primary tools directory, specify it using the <codeph>-sdk</codeph> option.</cmd>
        <info>See <xref href="r_appvalidator-cmdline.dita"/> for the set of options you can use when invoking the
          appvalidator script.</info>
      </step>
    </steps><example>To run all available checkers on your project or APK, issue the following command from within the
      MOTODEV Studio for Android installation directory:
      <codeblock>appvalidator &lt;path_to_project_or_APK&gt; -sdk &lt;path_to_SDK&gt;></codeblock> To run a specific
      checker:
      <codeblock>appvalidator &lt;path_to_project_or_APK&gt; -sdk &lt;path_to_SDK&gt; -c &lt;checker_ID&gt;</codeblock></example></taskbody>
