  • 0

Today I purchased Android tablet for native development — Acer Iconina Tab A500 (Honeycomb 3.1) powered with Tegra.

Then I downloaded and installed Tegra Android Development Pack (Windows and Mac) from from http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra-android-development-pack. Of course I turned on ‘USB debugging’ in the Application settings.

I tried to debug sample apps (like es2_globe) by ‘Debug As -> Android NDK Application’ menu command but after building — nothing happens.

Application does not start. But if I choose ‘Debug As -> Android Application’ or ‘Run As -> Android Application’ — everything fine.

Same situation on Mac and Windows.

So, what should I do in order to make NDK debug work ?
