That took care of it.  Thanks very much.

 What version of Android is the new Experia running?  On newer versions the
 developer options are hidden by default... You need to enable them by going
 to Settings  About Phone/Tablet/Device and then tapping on the Build
 number setting several times... You should get toast notifications telling
 you when you have enabled the developer features.

 Not in any particular order:

 - You need drivers.

 Sony Ericsson makes their adb drivers available in the Windows Driver
 Download center (or whatever it's called), but not every manufacturer does
 this. For those, you'll need to either install their own (manufacturer
 specific, and potentially device specific) drivers, or get the generic
 Google's adb driver and hack its UPNP IDs before installing.

 - The adb debugging setting should be enabled (checked) on your
 non-virtual devices (system settings - developer options).

 - Some manufacturers / devices seem to require an entry in adb_usb.ini,
 or you'll get permission denied.

 -  Android 4.2 and higher requires an on-device confirmation before it
 allows adb connections.

 - I'd recommend trying to get adb devices to work first, before
 jumping into Eclipse.

I have tried running adb devices, but the only device listed is the
emulator.  If I close the emulator, I get nothing listed.  I don't think
there are any drivers from Sony that would be specific to Eclipse or adb.
The ordinary windows drivers for the Sony phone are obviously working or I
wouldn't be able to see the phone from PC connect.

[android-developers] testing app from PC on attached phone

2013-11-28 Thread peter gottlieb
The common practice is to test an app on an emulator (such as what one gets 
from the Eclipse ADT plug-in) and then on an attached phone.  I have 9 apps 
on Google Play that were developed in this manner.  Now I can no longer get 
the Eclipse environment to recognize the attached phone.  I have had this 
problem in the past it always worked after a few tries (perhaps after 
re-booting the PC, or re-instantiating Eclipse).  I have tried on 2 
systems:   

Indigo Service Release running on Windows 7

Android developer tools Build: v22.3.0-887826 running on Windows 8.


The windows 7 has worked in the past, but doesn't work now.  The windows 8 
setup hasn't been used for this purpose before.  I have made sure to set 
debug = true in the manifest, and that the phones (a new Sony Xperia, and 
an old Sony-Erickson Xperia) are set to accept apps from non-verified 
sources.  I cannot get either phone to show up as a connected 
Android device chooser.


Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

[android-developers] instantiation of main activity

2012-07-27 Thread peter gottlieb
I have gone through several stages in the development of an app, compiling 
and executing just fine.  After my latest increment of code the app builds 
fine, but crashes with the following message in the Log:

unable to instantiate ActivityComponentinfo {}: 
java.lang.NullPointerException.

My conclusion is that all of a sudden the Android system code is crashing 
before even getting to any of my code, which is also supported by the  
fact  that if  I comment out all of my app-specific code in the onCreate 
function, I still get the crash.  However, testing several of my other apps 
shows them building and executing just fine.

Please help.
