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
