Just the same way as you run any binding - just put the binding JAR file into the addons folder.

I asked this question but I didn't get a reply. After developing the binding and putting it on the OpenHab runtime. How do I get it to communicate with my own android app or web app or hook it up with the openHab apps and are they customizable.

If you want to write an Android app, then you need to use the REST interfaces to communicate with OH2. You don't communicate directly with your binding.

OH2 = openHAB2

What do you want a customised interface for? Your binding provides access to hardware - it's the interface between the system runtime, and the hardware that you have. Your binding provides all the things and channels, and the system manages these for you. The REST interface provides access to all of the systems things/channels, and other information, so once you add a new binding, the REST interface will provide access to it using the standard methods.

You shouldn't need a custom REST interface.
