  2. Click on app under Android Application, and in General Tab, find the heading ‘Before Launch’
  3. Click the + button, select Run external tool, click the + button in the popup window.
  4. Give some name (Eg adb uninstall) and description, and type adb in Program: and uninstall <your-package-name> in Parameters:. Make sure that the new item is selected when you click Ok in the popup window.

Note: If you do not have adb in your PATH environment variable, give the full path to adb in Program: field (eg /home/user/android/sdk/platform-tools/adb).
