How To Get Started
Figure 79. Android device development settings
Generally, you will want to enable USB debugging, so you can use your
device with the Android build tools. You can leave the other settings alone
for now if you wish, though you may find the "Stay awake" option to be
handy, as it saves you from having to unlock your phone all of the time
while it is plugged into USB.
Next, you need to get your development machine set up to talk to your
device. That process varies by the operating system of your development
machine, as is covered in the following sections.
Step #1: Windows
When you first plug in your Android device, Windows will attempt to find a
driver for it. It is possible that, by virtue of other software you have
installed, that the driver is ready for use. If it finds a driver, you are
probably ready to go.
