== Setting up a development environment for Android devices ==

First you'll need to download the android SDK. It can be found [http://developer.android.com/sdk/ here]. Extract the contents of the archive to your desired location.

Next you'll need to configure the usb driver via udev. To do this we'll need to create the file ''/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules''.
'''$''' sudo nano -w /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Add the following directive:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
Use Ctrl-X to exit nano. In order to use the tools in the sdk you will need to add it to your path. Substitute ''/path/to'' with your path.
'''$''' export PATH="''/path/to/''android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/:$PATH"

		+	On your device, make sure you turn ON USB debugging. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging and make sure you have ticked the box. The adb tool is no longer installed by default, so in order to install it, you need to add it via the android sdk interface.

		+	In the interface, choose available packages, then "Android SDK Platform-tools". Allow the components to download. Check where the adb binary has been installed. You'll then need to add the new path as well.
