Hello StackOverflowers, I am eager to try out some Android programs on my tablet

  • 0

Hello StackOverflowers,

I am eager to try out some Android programs on my tablet in the early phase. However, I do not have root access to the Linux machine I am using (OpenSUSE 12.1). Due to this, I am having trouble to let the system find my device.

This tutorial http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html, as well as almost every post I can find online, do not mention ways to walk around the 51-android.rules setting without root. Some post even mention that, to find the device, the adb command should be run with root.

Does this mean I have no hope of on-device debugging? Thanks in advance!

    I dont think you need root access for adb. Though for the device to be detected, AFAIK you need to add device details in rules.d .

    If you have device and the computer on the same network, you could use adb over wifi. But to put the device in tcp mode , you need root access on phone or another computer where device can be detected.
