I warn you. What follows isn’t going to be especially coherent, but I figure someone out there may get some use out of the wobbling progress I’m making as I first explore Android from the command line.
For that, I’m learning some Android hacking from the ground up. I installed the basic OS X android-sdk_r15-macosx.zip archive, and then the platform tools. I made sure to run my updates (./android update sdk –no-ui) and for adb as well.
So then I did the following steps. Mind you, this is after hours and hours of dead ends that got me nowhere… So you’re seeing the condensed version here.
- I killed the adb server (adb kill-server)
- Then I edited ~/.android/adb_usb.ini and added 0×1949 to the last line
- Then I restarted the adb server (adb start-server)
- And I listed devices. Finally, an actual device was listed.
Right now, I’m waiting for some more downloads (platforms) to finish before I jump back into the GUI and I’m hoping that this time ddms will show my device directly. Fingers crossed.
