Hello all I'm new to Android development. I managed to get the "Hello Android" app working on the emulator. But how to deploy it to my phone for testing? Do I copy and paste that apk file? Do I have to generate the certificate and sign the app before I can deploy to my phone? Thanks.

OK I figured it out. I signed it and copy the APK file to my sd card and run it on the phone and it will install it

Instead of copying the apk file to the sdcard and installing from there you can also use adb from you machine. For more info have a look here:
adb info
and

Thanks James. The ADB (usb driver) surely make things easier for testing and deployment.
