On the following page there is info that is incorrect (correct but missing an important piece)
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up It mentions if using Ubuntu Linux in order to run/debug ON your Android device (not virtual device) you must go into ubuntu and add a file. (see below I pasted from the site) "If you're developing on Ubuntu Linux, you need to add a rules file that contains a USB configuration for each type of device you want to use for development. Each device manufacturer uses a different vendor ID. The example rules files below show how to add an entry for a single vendor ID (the HTC vendor ID). In order to support more devices, you will need additional lines of the same format that provide a different value for the SYSFS{idVendor} property. For other IDs, see the table of USB Vendor IDs, below. Log in as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51- android.rules. For Gusty/Hardy, edit the file to read: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666" For Dapper, edit the file to read: SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666" Now execute: chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules THIS IS INSUFFICIENT. IT SAYS TO NAME THE FILE 51-ANDROID.RULES BUT THIS IS INCORRECT IF THE OTHER DEFAULT FILES IN THE UDEV FOLDER CONTAIN A NUMBER HIGHER THAN 50!!!! IN MY UDEV FOLDER FOR EXAMPLE THERE WERE ALREADY TWO DEFAULT FILES WITH NAMES THAT INCLUDED A NUMBER HIGHER THAN 50 (70) LINUX AUTO RUNS THE PROGRAM WITH HIGHEST NUMBER FIRST. DEVELOPER.ANDROID ASSUMES THE OTHER DEFAULT FILES IN YOUR ETC/UDEV FOLDER ARE NUMBER 50 SO IT SUGGEST USING 51 WHEN YOU CREATE THE NEW FILE WHEN IN FACT IT SHOULD JUST BE A NUMBER HIGHER THAN THE FILE NAME NUMBERS THAT ARE ALREADY IN YOUR UDEV FOLDER (IN MY CASE IT HAD TO BE HIGHER THAN 70) AS SOON AS i DID THIS I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET ECLIPSE TO RECOGNIZE MY SAMSUNG TAB (TO USE AS AN AVD) INSTEAD OF USING A SAMSUNG AVD EMULATOR ON MY PC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
