How do I uninstall and re-run an app on a device using Android Studio?

Solution
You can skip the force stop and uninstall step by just hitting `run` again. Android Studio should prompt you which device to run on and there you can select your connected device.
It will close the app and re-run your changed version.
Problem
I am new to Android Studio and I feel that I must be doing something wrong. When running MyApp on an actual device the process goes like this. - Edit code. - Select the `Run` command in Android Studio. (Shift+F10) - Discover a Bug (on phone) - Navigate to Settings --> Application --> MyApp (on phone) - Force Stop (on phone) - Uninstall MyApp (on phone) - Edit code - Select the 'Run' command in Android Studio. - Repeat again and again. This is repetitive and time consuming. Is there a way to uninstall MyApp via Android Studio? If not is there some other more automated way to do this? BTW I have seen this question How to automatically uninstall android app from device before installing a new version but it does not sufficiently address the issue.
