I'm trying to figure out how to program Android Apps. I'm 100 percent new to Android, but I have lots of C/C++ and some Java experience.
I'm on a Linux machine. I installed the Android SDK, Eclipse, and openjdk. I've been trying to follow the instructions in Getting Started | Android Developers. I've been able to get the simple 'My First App' to work on an the emulator. But I can't get it to work on my Android device: Samsung Galaxy Player. The firmware on that device is 2.3.5. I've downloaded the SDK for Android 2.2, 2.3 and 2.3.3. I've tried seemingly all combinations of Target platform (2.2, 2.3, 2.33, etc) and also what to compile with (2.2, 2.3, 4.0?, etc). But whenever I try to run the app on my device, either nothing happens (no error, no nothing). Or, it complains
Does the above make sense to anyone? How can I figure this out?
UPDATE: This is solved. Thanks to Jerry Hildenbrand, I restarted the adb server and it recognized my device.
