Question

Recently I bought a new android tablet (a no-name Chinese tablet), and I’d like to test an application I’m developing on it.

However, when I try to run it through Eclipse, it won’t recognize my tablet (the debugging mode is enabled on the tablet). When I have the select device dialog I see

Serial Number : ???????????
AVD Name : N/A
Target : unknown
Debug :
State : ??

I’m running Linux Mint. What should I do?

Answer 1

On Linux, you have to add an udev rule for your tablet. For instance:

#cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules 
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0502", MODE="0666"

you can use lsusb in order to retrive the vendor id
