Hi! I bought an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700) from my mobile operator, with also development in mind. However, I now must accept that I cannot use it as a full-fledged development, at least not yet, since there doesen't seems to be suitable drivers available. The drivers coming with the device did do anything, and modifying the ini of the USB Driver for Windows of the SDK did not help either. ADB does not simply see the device. I can of course copy installation packets to the device and install, but I cannot debug and copying packets is tedious.
I assume many of the beginners use MS Windows, and there the problem is the worst - virtually nothing can be done without proper drivers either from Android or manufacturer. For Mac things should be working, and for Linux the devices can be configured using instructions found from net. Currently, the drivers coming with the SDK support only few devices, 5 or 6? It would be very nice to add more supported devices to make development easier. Best Regards, Antti Karhu
