I've got a Disgo 8100 tablet which I would like to test an app on but I'm having problems doing anything with it. I'm new to Android development but I've got 2 phones setup and connected and working with Eclipse. The Disgo is running 2.3.3 but there is no USB debugging option under Settings -> Applications and when I connect the device to the USB all I get is a drive mounted and no device listed in adb. Device manager also shows a disk rather than a device so I can't update the driver.
What can I do to get this working?
If the device has an option to allow installation of non market applications, then you can select this.
Once that is done, creat an apk for your app in eclipse, then when the device is mounted
as a drive, just transfer the apk file to the device in a tmp folder.
Once you have done this, you need to locate the file on the device (using a file explorer such as astro), and run it.
This will install the app onto the device, although you wont be able to debug, you will be able to see if the app runs ok.
Hope this helps..
Firstly you need to look deepper in settings, may be USB debugging option on in App. section. For example on my Galaxy S2 ICS it's in Development section.
After it you should install drivers for your device

I have build my first application for Android Phone in Eclipse.
I want to test my app in my real device. I have not made apk till now.
Can anyone please provide me the step by step guideline on how to load my app from eclipse to my device and run it.
You need to enable USB debugging on the phone itself (by starting the Settings application and selecting Applications > Development > USB Debugging), install the Android USB device driver if you haven’t already (Windows only), and then plug the phone into your computer using the USB cable that came with the phone.
Close the emulator window if it’s already open. As long as the phone is plugged in, Eclipse will load and run applications on the phone instead. You need to right-click the project and select Run As > Android Application.
or
In eclipse you go to run->build or if you have build automatically turned on you can go into the projects file structure and just copy the .apk file out of the bin folder. You can put this on the devices SD card and install it from there. No need to do the export unsigned apk thing.

An must for device debugging is Mobile usb drivers and You should go to SDK manager->extras->usb pluggin download that pacakge....

If you're on Windows you will need to install the USB driver. Then, on your Devices tab (Window->Show View->Other->Android->Devices) you should see a new row appear when you connect your device to your workstation with a USB cable (although LG handsets are problematic in my experience)

I recently bought a tablet from a company, in order to test my Unity3d games in a real android device. The problem is, the company did not provide the android USB windows drive to be installed and if Im not wrong it is necessary to make the debugging process work (please correct me if Im wrong). After some calls and emails for the technical support of this company, they provided me with files, which they are saying it`s what I need.
I have no idea of what to do with these files. Actually I`m thinking they are being dishonest with me and just gave me some random files. So if someone here could just check these files and see if they are actually drive files, or something else.
Just to be clear, I trying to get this drive because, when plug my tablet in my computer (with debugging mode enabled), and check in the Devices and Printers, I see a device called android, with no drive installation and information. Unity3d also can`t find any eligible android devices plugged on my computer.
I also already tried to install manually this “drive” they gave me using the UpdateDrive option, search for a drive in a computer folder.
If these are real drive files, could someone explain me how to install it on my windows 8?

Try to open the SDK manager and select "Google USB Driver" to install.
I run at the same problem with a prototype device, the company give the drivers to me and even I can install it, the SDK don't recignize the device in debug mode.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
EDIT:
Even the Google says that the "Google USB Drivers" is for Nexus devices, it solved my problem with a Honeywell device.
EDIT2:
Can you post the file extensions if this doesn't work?
There is a .inf file?
If yes, you can install it just opening the 'Device Manager' in System properties (Win + Pause/Break) -> Select the usb device, double click on it -> Select update the driver -> select to install from disk -> select the .inf file.
If you can plug into a Linux then do lsusb in a linux terminal. Take that code and search the Internet. Might be the tablet you bought uses a common chipset and you can install the android driver from another vendor. You need the drivers based on the manufacturer. E.g. to debug with Android for samsung then install their Kies, for Motorola then their android drivers. Note, "Android drivers" is in addition to the regular usb driver than lets the phone show up as a disk drive.
Now I am developing one android application. I am running my code in emulateor. Can anyone help me How to debug my own android application in android tablet(Matrix One) instead of android emulator (i.e) steps to configure my android tablet(Matrix One) with eclipse?
Thanks,
Manoj.
Enable USB Debugging from your settings (and mock locations if you need them)
Plug the device into the computer via USB
Use eclipse to run the app on the device
You're done
This part of the documentation has more details on doing this, like installing drivers, configuring UDev etc.
You might need a additional driver. You should be able to download it via the sdk.
Once the driver installed, just plug in your device after turning on the debug modus on the tablet under Application-Development. Your device should appear in the device view in eclipse. The Application should automatically be launched on the real device once plugged in.
My Application is working properly in emulator. I am running the application in the device using the ".apk" file. But it is not working properly. So i want to test the application in the device using Eclipse logcat. How to connect the Real device to the Eclipse for debugging the application in the device. I follow the steps of this link "http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html" . i am facing the problem after setting the path (i.e,The Google USB Driver is located in \google-usb_driver). The error is the hardware is not installed. How to handle this. My device is "Samsung Galaxy Apollo GT-i5801". Please can anybody help me.
thanks
Samsung has a generic driver for various mobile phones. You need to download and install usb driver from this url. After installing the driver and connecting the phone to your computer you need to configure eclipse so that it deploys & runs your program on the device.
In your phone, be sure you have enable the debug mode (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging). If you enable it, and with eclipse open, when you connect the phone to the computer, it tries to install the device. Usually, there's no problems,but if there's any, just download the drivers.
Follow the answer provided by Finuka. After you connect the phone, open the DDMS perspective in Eclipse. Any connected phone or emulator will be listed there. You will also see hooks to running apps on those devices. Select your phone+app to see LogCat.
I have made a program on eclipse. But how can I get the program from eclipse to my phone? I have a cable because it probably wont make a QR code like appinventor does huh. How do i install my app on there?
You need to set up your machine and phone for running and debugging from eclipse. It involves getting the phone's usb driver on your machine, and setting up the phone for usb debugging.
Read this Using Hardware Devices | Android Developer Guide
You can simply export the apk file and copy it to your phone. Email it to yourself, bluetooth transfer, upload to a server then download on your phone.... come on.
You just have to allow the device to accept nonsigned apps and USB debugging (change this in your device's app configuration). Then, if you have the drivers (you can install them within your AVD), you can just run the app from Eclipse in your phone.
In Windows you will need drivers to install for the particular device that you have. And if you are on Linux, there is a rules.txt file in which you have to make entries with the device UID. Check this link.
