App inventor on the Transformer - Eee Pad Transformer General

Hi !
Someone has tried App Inventor on the Transformer?
just want to know, im interesed on android development.

I just installed it on my G2x running Gingerbread. I'm not sure about Honeycomb.
The process was pretty simple. I think you just needed drivers installed. I had no problem. I don't think you will either but perhaps someone could give a more solid answer

Just tried this myself, and would be interested to know if anybody else has gotten it working. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, and have the Asus USB driver installed. (The Transformer shows in Device Manager as ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface, under ASUS Android Devices.)
I have USB debugging and Stay awake checked on the tablet under Applications :: Development, and I have App Inventor installed and working. When I click to Open the Blocks Editor, it opens correctly, but when I click "Connect to Device", the dropdown just says "No available devices".
...and that's where I'm stuck. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. ;-)

It works...kind of. I have it running with Ubuntu Linux, but haven't figured out how to make it work full screen. As far as not being recognized by block editor, make sure you have adb running properly. After I got that working right, the rest did too...

If anyone knows how to get adb working with the Iconia-

I can't get adb to work with my iconia to save my life... I've tried every driver out there to try to get the device recognized but I can't even get it connected to my computer. I have the mini usb cable and all, and I can copy/paste files into the tablet memory, but whenever I start adb it won't recognize it. How did you guys get yours set up? And I've connected my incredible via adb so I know my sdk kit is legit. Just let me know, thanks-
Oh, and: Iconia is rooted. Also, I've tried to start the device manager (i'm on win7 btw), locate the missing device driver, update driver, and navigate to where I got the acer driver from their website, but to no avail. Could it be my rom? I have a hc 3.1 on there atm. Well, that's about it haha
The ultimate goal is to install native ubuntu on the a500, but I need access to adb first.

Hmm ... did you install the USB drivers from Acer's support site?

Another option with ADB is to do so via IP. Search the Market for 'adb' and there should be a few apps that will allow you to use ADB over TCP/IP. From your computer, with ADB installed, you'd connect with something like:
adb connect <Tablet's IP address>:<port>
I seem to think port 5555 is the default.
If, after trying this method, you still cannot access/see your tablet (assuming you started ADB services), then you may want to check your SDK.
Best of luck.

This may sound silly, but have you gone into settings, applications, development, and checked "USB debugging" to on?

And please my op... of course I tried the drivers from acer's site, both of them. And my sdk kit works, just like I said. But thanks!

ADB on TF101

Yeah, its another 'ADB not working on device xxx' thread.. but this one really has me stumped.
Device in question is a TF101, PC in question runs Windows 7 64-bit.
PC has been used successfully to develop android apps. for a Samsung S Plus, with the entire toolchain working.
Same PC, running VMWare, virtualizing XP (32-bit), has also been used to develop/debug with the TF101.
Now the problem. Natively (without VMWare), I have been completely unsuccessful getting the TF101 to be recognized by ADB.
What has been tried:
- TF101 USB drivers from Asus
- TF201 USB drivers from Asus (which also include the TF101 drivers from the look of the .inf files)
- Hand-edited .inf file from the standard android ADB driver
- Adding the VID (0x0b05) to adb_usb.inf
- Uninstalling (and deleting the driver) for anything related to android devices (Samsung, and Asus)
So what happens is that the device does appear in device manager, with 'USB Debugging' checked on the Android device.
With one of the driver combinations I end up with 'Android Composite ADB Interface' in Device Manager, but for some reason its under a 'Samsung Android Phone' Folder, this may well be part of the problem.
No matter what I try, 'adb kill-devices/adb usb' always shows 'error: device not found'
I am two solid days into this now, after reading just about every TF101/ADB thread that google knows about.
Anyone else experienced this?, and might know how to resolve it?

He's made it pretty clear that he uses ADB with other Android devices, so I don't think that a guide to installing ADB is going to be particularly helpful to him.
FWIW, I had the same issue. I installed the USB drivers from Asus and could never seem to get ADB to "see" the TF101.
So I ripped them out and installed the full ASUS desktop PC suite from their website. ADB now sees my TF101 just fine. I uninstalled the suite after I had the connection working and ADB still connects to my TF101 without issue. The Transformer PC suite is on the same download page as the stand alone driver.
If you can't find it, PM me and I'll get back to you with a link.

I too was using ADB already on my N1 but couldn't make it work with the TF.
After reading and following directions on that thread I got it working.
He might not need instructions to set up ADB from scratch but there's good infos about the Asus PC Suite.
Step 7
Basically same as what you just posted and same as what I did to get it working.
I can confirm that too that installing ASUS SUIT works better than just installing drivers, I don't know why but it does. It's the same with my phone. Sometimes installing usb drivers do not work but when I install Samsung kies then somehow that works better even though it includes the same drivers I am installing as stand alone which do not with properly.

Same thing happened to me had to buy a new cord.... does the computer recognize it at all

im not sure if it would help but everyonce in a while ill have a hard time with my adb connection and ill start up wireless adb and can conect fine from that. i dont know why i think in wireless you use ip address on wifi so it might recognize and connect different.. of course this depends on if you want to use it and is alos hardware dependant mainly wifi.

[Q] Can't install win usb drivers on XP. Tried everything

I've used different guides, searched to death, but cannot seem to get the driver installed on this XP computer. Some of the guides seem to be for Vista or Windows 7. Is there a good video for XP, or one that relates to the driver issue?
xp is a good choice for this because you don't have to care about the uac (user access control)
maybe this one helps:

I was in the same boat as you but luckly i had a netbook with windows 7 starter that worked for me. I couldn't find any help for XP either.

Unfortunately, that did not work for me. I'm fairly computer savvy, but this has stumped me. I will keep looking.
I was getting rather upset because I could get the USB drivers installed, but ADB still wouldn't recognize my Fire.
Is this the problem you guys are having? Or can you just not get the drivers to install at all?
It turned out that my problem was a complete, "I'm an Idiot!" deal. Especially because I'm a System Engineer and should know better than to overlook the steps I did. But, in very few of the instructions of how to load the drivers, does it tell you where the adb_usb.ini file needs to be located. I was thrown off because with the Kindle Fire Utility (ver. 0.9.3 at least), it comes located in the drivers folder. Plus, just about every time this file was mentioned, it always had a big thing about adding the 0x1949 device ID, which caused me to miss the couple times I ran across instructions that said where it needs to be located.
The adb_usb.ini needs to be, in XP, located in the ".android" folder that is located in your username's folder. For example, if I am logged into my computer as PBFred, the path would be the following...
C:\Documents and Settings\PBFred\.android
I also ran into one other problem. When you manually select the path for the driver, android_winusb.inf, (which you can place where ever you want) XP shows you a list of compatible device drivers. The correct device driver, "Android Composite ADB Interface", isn't listed unless you uncheck the box that says "show compatible devices only". If you don't uncheck that box, it just lists "Android ADB Interface", which is not the right one.
Once I did that, I was good to go. The only issue I have now with the driver is for no apparent reason, it asks for the driver to be reinstalled about half the time I plug my Fire in, even though I haven't plugged any other devices in inbetween. But since the path to the driver is still saved, it only takes 2 seconds.
I hope this helps you guys out.
I did these things that you've mentioned. I've gotten to the point of "rooting..."
And nothing happens...but I feel like I've gotten further than before. I will keep working at it.
I'm using the method from rootkindlefire.com
Any other suggestions to try?
And thanks for the suggestions.

I don't quite follow where you are stuck.
Does running the command "adb devices" list your device? If so, your USB drivers are installed correctly. Which means that the version of Windows you are running pretty much doesn't matter any more.

Asus TF300T and Ubuntu Sync

I have a quick question to everyone who has the TF300T and Linux. Have you been able to plug in the tablet directly in Linux (Ubuntu)and open the filesystem to transfer files? it seems that in windows I need to have that Asus Sync program, but i would rather not use a program. I would imagine it would be a plug and play situation.
I would appreciate to read how to go around that.
Thank you in advance.

I have windows and it is plug and play for me. I never downloaded the ASUS Sync program. I just plugged it in and it recognized the internal sdcard with no problems at all.
I'm on windows and i've never needed to use the asus sync program. I just connect my tablet to the computer and it pops up as a usb mass storage device.
Interesting. I am at work now and we are using Vista. I have it plugged in and on the device it says "Connected as a media device" and then nothing comes up. Also i have that Asus Sync icon in the notification area
I use Windows 7 Enterprise at home and it works for me
I don't have a issue with this at home.
Once I plug it in, a USB menu opens and verifies that it found a new device.
The issue you may be having is with in Vista itself.
I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise, and I can view all the files on my Asus, I don't even have Root yet. That whole .26 thing!
I just fired up a Ubuntu system at work to try to get around the issues with ADB on a Windows 7 64 bit system, so I can try to downgrade it to .17, root, load root keeper, then try the OTA update to .26. Have not quite got there yet though.
So far this has all been a complete pain on Windows, the ADB software comes to a screeching halt do to a Java issue, that no one can see to correct on my O.S.
Would be nice if some one just put out a 1 click Root app like I had on my DrodX!

i think i could depend on the drivers.
but dont expect an USB drive to appear as an HD or removable device, as it is MTP, you have to access the files via the DEVICE ICON that appears on the computer folder.
i dont know if its the same on vista. but as win 7 is Vista + it shouldn't be too different.

Ubuntu user here.
Yes I was/am able to get it connected and able to get files on it but not without some extra work.
I mostly followed the following site and changed some of the names he gave his phone into TF300.
(being a new user I am not able to post url links and am not able to post in de development site yet...damn)
Do a google search on: omg ubuntu android usb drive
and the first hit is the site.
After having done that, all it takes to have it seen as a drive is enter <android-connect> into a terminal. (and <android-disconnect> to shut off cleanly).
It's only seeing the sdcard, not / (hoped for an easy root access ).

[Q] Developing Processing on Oppo Find 5 on Windows 8

Hey everybody,
I got my Oppo since 3 days now and I am very satified with it. But this morning I was trying to connect the device via USB to continue developing an app in Processing and the IDE didn't find my device. The IDE is waiting for the device to become available and that's it.
After this, I tried the universal adb drivers, the usb drivers of the SDK and the usb drivers of the pdanet app. Nothing worked for me so far. In the device manager the device is listed as "Android ADB Device", so it should be working, right? I am working on Windows 8 on my laptop right now and I think this is where the evil comes from
Any Processing developers here, which got Processing working with their Oppo??
Greetings

I use windows 8 on my PC, but OPPO is recognized when plugged in. I'm pretty sure my correct drivers were installed when I connected the phone.

Okay, and what drivers did you use? The stock drivers of Win 8? Or do you have downloaded others?
I don't know if it helps, but I have installed the stock firmware X909EN_12.A.09_GLO_009_130514

I remember having some issues trying to get Casual to work as it wasn't seeing my phone. I'm pretty sure I used this reference to get everything working correctly.. Install Drivers for any Android
Okay, tried it again with pdanet and got no success again. Even the platform tools adb.exe doesn't recognize my phone as an adb device. I'm getting a little bit frustrated right now.
By the way, I tested it on Windows 7 and it doesn't work either.
Anyone got another idea?

Try wireless adb, and connect manually to your phone via command line (something like: adb connect YOURIP). I pretty much use only wireless adb (as I do tend to develop stuff that relies a lot on the 9 DOF sensors...) Cheers.
I got it. My device was shown in the device manager all the time as adb device, but the Processing IDE didn't found it. In the Oppo forums is the same error described with eclipse.
The solution was, to change the adb_usb.ini in "C:\Users\YOURUSER\.android". In my file wasn't any entry and I simply added "0x22D9". That's it! Worked for Windows 7 and 8.
