Hello, I am trying to connect a Verizon Motorola Droid (Android 2.1) to my computer and Run my application on the device. I have followed the instructions on developer.android.com about how to "install the USB driver" and "set up the device for development".
Specifically, I installed the Usb driver from whithin Eclipse (galileo) using the Adnroid SDK and AVD Manager. (I checked adb at this time and no recognition.) Then I installed the driver in windows (XP) via Start > Control Panel > Add Hardware. The windows installation seemed to work because during or after the installation of the C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver some window came up and announced that the "adb bla.. bla." was installed successfully. On the device I have enabled debugging via Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging is checked. I also bring down the tri fork thing and "mount" the sdcard. I can successfully copy files to and from the device sdcard. My application successfully runs on the ADV and I can access the ADV sdcard using "adb push" and "adb shell". With the moto droid connected, mounted, etc, if I run the command prompt adb command "adb devices" the resulting list is empty. No devices recognized. With the ADV running and the moto droid connected, mounted, etc, if I run the command prompt adb command "adb devices" the resulting list shows only the "emulator-5554 device". (this is the same thing it shows if the moto droid is not connected and only the ADV is running). If I "Run" from Ecipse with the device connected, debugging, and mounted, an instance of the ADV is launched and the program runs on the ADV, not the device. I cannot get anything to recognize that the device is connected. My conclusion is that the android debug bridge, adb, is not recognizing the device. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to get adb to recognize and work with my device. Thanks to all persons for previous favors and advice. John Brown P.S. Verizion website has a "fix for device not recognized" that is called "DriverBoost" and will update all your USB driver to the "official" version. I did not like the sound of Verizon "fixing all my drivers" when I am only having trouble with Verizon's Moto droid but I downloaded it anyway. this is the actual quote: "DriverBoost scans your PC and uniquely identifies each and every device driver. Then using a sophisticated matching algorithm every device driver on your PC is matched with the latest version of that driver on our proprietary database. New drivers are then quickly downloaded onto your computer." I went to install DriverBoost and it quickly informs me that the first thing it will do is install the latest version of Microsoft.net. I DROPPED IT LIKE A HOT POTATO. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
