How to setup android device for development

This article will describe how to setup android device for development. The device that i used is SE Xperia Ray (ST18). Let’s check it out, i usually use Android Virtual Device (AVD) for debugging and run an apps i create. Now, i wanna use my device for debugging and run apps. First, declare in apps as “debuggable” in Android Manifest. See the screenshot below :

See at the line red light, we can do this from the Application tab when viewing the Manifest (on the right side, set Debuggable to true). Otherwise, in the AndroidManifest.xml file, add android:debuggable="true" to the <application> element. Also see the screenshot below :

Next step is setup in our device. Turn on “USB Debugging” on our device. On the device, go to Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB debugging.

Also set up our device to allow installation of non-Market applications. On the device, go to Settings > Applications and enable Unknown sources.

Next, set up our system to detect our device. For SE Xperia Ray, just install PC Companion or in Hardware scan changes install USB driver, download here.

If the USB driver has been installed, when we run the apps in Eclipse, we’ll see the device status is Online. See the screenshot below :

Ayo spirit baru!!! (part 1)

Hari ini, tepat tanggal 1 di januari 2012 ditemani secangkir kopi panas dengan beberapa batang rokok mild (*lho kok ngerokok lagi sih??), ga ketinggalan dengar musik di radio . Saya kira masih pagi, eh ternyata sudah siang yah..(*ah kebiasaan buruk nih). Baru saja mau buat planning buat tahun ini. Memang planning atau resolusi atau apapun namanya ga mesti nunggu hari tahun baru, tapi setidaknya inilah momment yang tepat untuk re-planning. Kenapa re-planning??emang iya, sebelumnya tahun lalu sudah mempunyai rencana yang pada akhirnya terlaksana dan ga terlaksana, makanya mesti re-planning.

Ok, mari kita lanjutkan ke acara intinya. Planning yang awal ialah masalah “changes my behavior”. What behave must i change?ah banyak banget, orang2 terdekat mungkin sudah tau beberapa kebiasaan burukku (oh my…). Semoga saja bisa

Saya, saya adalah orang yang sedikit optimis tapi lebih banyak pesimis, tidak tahu tentang kelebihan dan kekurangan diri sendiri yang mungkin menyebabkan saya tidak percaya diri. Sebenarnya sudah saya sadari dari sejak dahulu, tapi entah kenapa saya tidak banyak berubah (sepenuhnya) dari sikap pesimis.

Sepertinya tulisan ini lebih ke “curhat-an” saya tentang diri saya pribadi ya,,,hehe Lapar ah, ntar dilanjutin lagi

This question always i ask every i want to remove the directory and all contents in it. I always forget what i did before and finally i googling again, haiihhh #:-s (not effective right?). So, i write it here just for remember if i forget. Also for u that if u have the same trouble (forgetful person).

For remove a file #rm [filename]

For remove a directory(directory must be empty) #rmdir [directory name]

For remove a directory with all contents in #rm –rf [directory name]

Note : rm = remove; rmdir = remove directory; –r = Recursive (attributes of rm) remove directories and their contents recursively; –f = Force (attributes of rm), ignore nonexistent file, never prompt.
