Setup HTC Flyer for Android Development, on Ubuntu 11.10

Setup HTC Flyer for Android Development, on Ubuntu 11.10 -

You can develop and debug on real Android device (HTC Fly in this case) just as you would on the emulator. Before you can start, there are just a few things to do. Refer to Android document Using Hardware Devices. I will not repeat here. I describe how to add the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules on Ubuntu 11.10 only.

- Start Terminal

- Switch to /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory
$cd /etc/udev/rules.d/

- In Ubuntu, create/open 51-android.rules as su.
$sudo gedit 51-android.rules

- Add the text in the file (for HTC), and save it:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

for other vendor ID, refer to USB Vendor IDs in the document Using Hardware Devices.

- execute :
$chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

- Finally, check if your device connected; run the command from your SDK platform-tools/ directory:
$./adb devices
