Android 2.3.5 (Ginger Bread) usb drivers

[theroncli...@gmail.com]

hi. I'm searching the whole web for these usb drivers but haven't had any luck. Can you point me in the right direction to get Android 2.3.5 (Ginger Bread) usb drivers. I need it to debug my smartphones CaptureVideo. Thank you

Hi,
I have already replied you in another thread, but I will paste a shortcut here. You need to connect your device to PC via USB cable. Then open Windows Device Manager, find your device and update drivers. Note that you must have Android SDK installed. Then search for drivers in Android SDK folder -> extras -> google -> usb_driver. Should work, good luck!

1. Must I have the whole Android sdk installed, because I have the sdk tools installed?
2. To eloborate on my device: This is a new device manufactured here in South Africa by MTN (a ISP) and it's called Steppa SP355AWG. It uses the Android 2.3.5 (gingerbread) OS.
3. DDMS is still not picking up my phone and device manager say I have the right drivers intalled (google_usb_drivers)
4. Isn't there another way to find the cause of this problem and solve it. (what is your intuition tell you).
5.  The video attached shows what happens when I try to record a video
thanks

1. It depends whether SDK tools include drivers. If yes, it will be enough.
2. OK
3. Did you installed drivers I mentioned or you are saying they are good only beause device manager say so? How is your device appearing in device manager (should be sth like Android ADB Interface)? USB Debugging in device settings activated? Use monitor instead of ddms. DDMS is deprecated. You must run it with administrator privileges. If you have Linux OS installed, you could try there (install sdk, connect device, run ddms/monitor).
4. If we wouldn't find a solution, you should contact MTN technical support and say that you are developing applications for Steppa and you need to obtain debug informations via DDMS/monitor and you need usb driver for that.
5. This is not proper thread.

Hi. Why do you call this a thread? Do you create threads for every question? Anyway, not really important. I read in thread on stacksoverflow that eclipse can debug android 2.3.5 so I'm going try that. Tell me what do I need to use eclipse to debug real devices? Thanks for everything.

So glad I remember. I took a screen shot of device manager and even though it says that the drivers are there, there's another part of the phone which I can't figure out what it means. Kindly look @the image...

If you want to get help, follow the instructions and answer the questions. At the moment I don't know what have you done and what effect you achieved. It seems that you have proper drivers. It's hard to say what the other devices are, a 3G / GPRS modem probably. Eclipse Android debugging. Eclipse is using DDMS for debugging, so probably it will not work for you either. I suggest trying another cable and another USB port in your PC. You could also try adb kill-server then adb start-server from command prompt or even manually end adb.exe process (Ctrl+Alt+Del, find adb.exe, press end process) and execute adb start-server. Ensure that your device is connected in "charge only" mode (if it has such option), so that SD Card is not mounted. Check Settings->Applications->Development-> USB Debugging on device. Do you see the 'USB debugging connected' notification on device when connecting via USB?

hey how did you do this ( Eclipse Android debugging.) that's amazing. I'll follow your instructions now but I have a quick question: Is it possible to have a "Send app to friend via bluetooth" button in my app and then when I click the button I discover my friend and then sends the app to his/her device with some extra data via bluetooth?

[babtu]

I hope that's not ironic. Actually it is pretty simple - Let me google that for you ;). It is definitely possible, but Codename One does not support Bluetooth, so you must write Bluetooth handling code on your own using Codename One native interface. It wouldn't be as simple as using codename one API is.

I really think that's awesome like from a link taking some words (in Label form) and having it fly over the screen and into the textfield and then invoking the search action. I was amazed when I saw that and that's exactly what I want my user to contantly experience - AMAZEMENT.

It's hard to believe that CN1 doesn't have an API for bluetooth since bluetooth is being used by user more often that any other features on a mobile device. Okay, do I understand that right, I can write code in let say lwuit and use the native interface to import that code into my CN1 app?
