Different ways to install APK file on device/emulator via Robotium

[Sika]

Can I install the APK file on device/emulator when setUp()  runs:

@Override
public void setUp() throws Exception {
    //setUp() is run before a test case is started.
    //This is where the solo object is created.
    solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(), getActivity());
}

If not, what other solutions (beside adb install) you guys use?

Thanks,

Sika
