[beginner] A few questions about n00b Android DEV.

I just watched Adam Outler hello world tutorial and managed to setup Eclipse. I use Ubuntu 12.04.
A few questions sprung, though:
1. I installed Juno , hope this is not a problem. I think the video uses 3.8
2. Java was not installed on my PC, but I obviously had to. I used Java 7( not open JDK). OK?
3. A few things were a bit different than in the video - had no option for android project, so I had to select android application project, is this ok.
4. I first tried to run the app on my not rooted HTC One X, but eclipse seems to object. The name of the device was all question marks. What might be the problem? I run it successfully on my DHD( rooted, CNM 7.2 )
Please, help a the willing to learn

Hey deckoff, I'm new to Android Dev as well and I have setup the environment on a few machines.
Q: I installed Juno , hope this is not a problem. I think the video uses 3.8
A: Not sure, I'm using Windows with eclipse 3.6.2 I have installed it Ubuntu, but it was 3.7.2
Q: Java was not installed on my PC, but I obviously had to. I used Java 7( not open JDK). OK?
A: I pretty sure it requires the JDK not just the runtime.
Q: A few things were a bit different than in the video - had no option for android project, so I had to select android application project, is this ok.
A: Yes, It was renamed to Android Application Project
Q: I first tried to run the app on my not rooted HTC One X, but eclipse seems to object. The name of the device was all question marks. What might be the problem? I run it successfully on my DHD( rooted, CNM 7.2 )
A: Since your doing this on Ubuntu, your not suppose to have to install any special Drivers. Do you have "USB Debugging" Checked? I also have the option to allow "Unknown sources" - Allow installation of non-Market apps, checked.

Yes, it is - the very same settings on Desire HD and the apps works just fine, but on HTC one X does not. The name is not properly seen by the PC - it is just "???????"

Does adb recognize the one x? Try with adb devices if that doesn't work, just set up permissions for the device

Here is the log that I got when trying to connect :
Code:
[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] ------------------------------
[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] Android Launch!
[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] adb is running normally.

[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] Automatic Target Mode: Unable to detect device compatibility. Please select a target device.
This is straight out of Eclipse....
When I try to connect, I get a dialog, screenshot attached.
As I said, we are talking about unrooted, stock HTC one X, dev options enabled, sideloading enabled
I have not tried what you suggest yet, because:
1. I am not quite sure what does it exactly mean and how to do that ( I will read and probably find out, so thank you)
2. My laptop failed, so I had to go back to my 8 year old Thinkpad x40, and setup and redo everything again...
(SHAME ON YOU, LENOVO, 2 months old x220, which costs a fortune, powers on "sometimes", and recognizes it's HDD "sometimes"..)

I managed run the app on the One X as well, following this link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1890861
In general I had to stop adb and re-start it...
Anyway, two things still puzzle me:
1. Why rooted CNM Desire HD will not present any problems, and apparently will not require root adb, while One X will
2. Still, Eclipse will fire error messages, namely "Cannot monitor device"
3. Can I run adb in a mode so it will not require me to re-start adb in sudo ( So I dont have to stop and start sudo adb every time I re-start)

Hi guys! Got a big problem. It seems that recently i cannot connect my android devices (Galaxy Note 2 and Nexus 7) on my laptop. It was working properly before dont know the problem now. I've tried uninstalling the driver but it seems it can't be uninstalled as it is still there when i click on properties. Tried to update the driver but is always showing me this error.. I am logged in as admin and no other user accounts on this laptop. I dont know what to do.

hello!
i am currently also experiencing the same problem. it appears to be the PC's fault. i tried plugging it into my laptop and it works. But here in my PC, my device can't be read, nothing pops up and windows can not install the driver like you said.
could anyone please come up with something? thanks

Ceck in internet the ultimate driver release and install.
If you want i send in p.m. the link in my cloud with the driver.

Hi, for everyone who's still interested, apparently this works:
1. Open CMD as an Administrator
2. Type: net localgroup Administrators local service /add
3. Hit Enter.
4. Install drivers

Eclipse app can't be launched on hardware device

Hi there,
I got the following problem:
When trying to launch an app from the eclipse IDE, my Galaxy Note 3 is regocnized but the "OK" button stays deactivated when choosing it. The target is "unknown" and the state is "??" - Sometimes "offline".
USB-debugging is activated on the device. I also installed the Samsung OEM driver.
What can I do to fix that problem? Thanks in advance

Your virtual devices are not working maybe, because u dont downloaded sdk version from virtual manager ? Try to update and download all stuff that u dont have, and then try .

Trying to get DriveDroid App working with PH-1.

As the title says I am trying to get DriveDroid app to work with the Essential phone. I am pretty sure it is either a driver issue since the Essential phone doesn't have official drivers yet but i may be wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Same boat, no solution yet.
I'm on the Android 8.1 beta 1 ROM and can't get past the so setup wizard.
I enrolled myself into the DriveDroid beta and it now the wizard gets further but my computer can't recognize the USB device that should be a mass storage device.
I sent debug info to the developer. Hopefully it's something he can work with. Otherwise I'm hoping there might be a way to address this using a Magisk module or something.
