Set up Device for Development

By now, you've probably seen your great new application running on the Android emulator, and want to see it running on your shiny Android device.  Here's the steps to make that happen.

Note: These are the steps to set up a Google Nexus One device and are provided as a reference. Steps for your specific device may vary. Search the internet for your device if you have trouble.

• Non-Google phone USB drivers

Run the "android.bat" application in the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools directory.

Install the "Usb Driver package, revision 4":

Enable "USB debugging" on your Android device:

• Application Menu
• Settings
• Applications
• Development
• Check "USB debugging"

Plug in your device.  Windows will likely not correctly detect your device.  Go to Control Panel -> Device Manager, right-click your unrecognized device, and choose "Update Driver Software..."

Browse for the driver software in C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver and choose OK.

If prompted to trust the driver, choose Install.

When Windows finishes installing the driver, your device should be ready to receive your application.  It should now show up in the Device Chooser when you try to Run or Debug your application.
