Using Samsung Galaxy for development on Mac

September 11th, 2009 | Category: Uncategorized

We just want to share some infos with all the samsung galaxy users out there who are using a Mac for development. If you want to use your galaxy to test apps within eclipse or use it with the “adb” commandline tools, it will not work out of the box. You need the 1.5r3 SDK installed and you have to execute “android update adb” and follow instructions which are displayed. Also make sure that you have enabled USB debugging on the device in the settings menu. After that you should have output of “adb devices” like:

mordor:~ $ adb devices
List of devices attached
I7500e4pCXcFpbi device
mordor:~ $

    I have an android app that runs on the G1, but apparently fails on the Samsung Galaxy. I don’t have a Galaxy phone, I was hoping you might be able shed some light on the issue (the app is called “Bendometer”)
