i have just single android phone, but I'll like to test my application on as many devices is possible. Do you have any idea about how can I do that?

my case is similar as yours what I do is that I test the basic functionality on one set that I have and to see designs I use emulators

best option would be to create the designs programatically using layout params in that way you can make a app run on ldpi set to a Tablet

There are many services designed for testing apps on multiple real devices. Here are just a few:

http://www.perfectomobile.com/portal/cms/android.html

http://www.deviceready.com/

https://www.lesspainful.com/

All of these services will cost you, and you will have to set up tests that they will run, but they will execute your tests on multiple devices in both orientations and Lesspainful will even send you screen shots to show you the difference between your tests on the different devices.

first trying on different emulator setting will server the purpose also. (different screen sizes, ram, cpu, resolution) and stuff. After you are little satisfied with your app, then try asking your friends if they are willing to install your cool application.

or just go buy used android phones over craigslist or something
