Using Real Android device for Debugging on Linux

The advantage with usb debugging on real devices in compared to Linux is that you dont need to install driver for each specific vendor .


Here is the information to debug on a real android device on Ubuntu Linux .





Step 1 : We need to add a udev rules file that contains a USB configuration for each type of device you want to use for development .


To do so :


Download this file .

Step 2 :  Open Terminal . Type  "sudo nautlius " . You should be sure that you have the root permission.



Step 3 : Extract the contents of zip file. Copy and paste the 51-android.rules
 file into "/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules".


Step 4 : Open the file via any file  editor without closing the terminal.


Replace the name of the OWNER(eg.snowdream) with your username,which is used for logging into the Ubuntu System.Then，save it.

Change the owner name against the vendor name of your device. For multiple devices change the owner name multiple times for each vendor.

Step 5 :  Copy and paste this in the terminal .


 sudo service udev restart

Step 6 : Now connect your device. And type adb devices in your terminal . Your device shall be listed.
USB Debugging should be enabled.
