<cmd>From the Package Explorer view either right-click the open project or right-click an APK file from your
workspace and then select <uicontrol>Validate Android Application</uicontrol>. Note that you can validate
multiple APKs or multiple Android projects at one time by selecting <menucascade><uicontrol
>MOTODEV</uicontrol><uicontrol>App Validator</uicontrol><uicontrol>Validate Android
Apps</uicontrol></menucascade> (to validate one or more APKs) or <menucascade><uicontrol
>MOTODEV</uicontrol><uicontrol>App Validator</uicontrol><uicontrol>Validate Android
Project(s)</uicontrol></menucascade> (to validate one or more Android projects).</cmd>
<stepresult>The App Validator runs. The overall results are displayed in a Console view, and the various errors
and warnings are listed in the Problems view, often with suggestions for fixing the problem. Double-click an
entry in the Problems view to open the appropriate file in an editor view with the problem area highlighted.
<p>After running the App Validator, those files with problems are appropriately marked with error or warning
symbols in the Package Explorer.</p>Note that by default the output produced by the Android App Validator is
equivalent to running it with command-line options for the default verbosity level (-v2) and a detailed log of
every warning and error (-w4). These defaults can be changed (and other command-line options added) using the
App Validator preferences dialog.</stepresult>
