ptg7068951Setting Up Your Phone 395- On the phone’s Home screen, choose Menu, Settings. The Settings
app opens. - Choose Applications, Development and check the USB debugging
box.
Other devices might have this option elsewhere in the settings. It is called
something like USB connection mode, USB debugging, or the like. The
Android site at http://developer.android.com has documentation for how
to set this for different Android devices.
Connect the USB cord to your computer and the other end to your phone.
A small bug-like Android icon should appear along the top edge of the
device alongside the time and icons for connection bars and the battery.
Drag the top bar down. You should see the USB Debugging Connected
and USB Connected messages (see Figure D.4).
This sets up your phone, but yourcomputer also might require configura-
tion to be able to connect to the device. If you have never connected to the
phone over a USB cord, check your phone’s documentation for how to do
this. You might need to install a driver from a CD that came with the
phone or the manufacturer’s website.
On Windows, the Android SDK and AVD Manager run from within
Eclipse, and you can use them to download the USB Driver Package, a col-
lection of drivers for various phones and other devices, and other packages
related to your device. Choose Window, Android SDK, and AVD Manager
to see what’s available.
During Hour 24, you use the Android development tools to create and run
an Android app. If everything’s set up correctly, it should run properly on
both the emulator and an Android phone.
