Android -device debugging procedure in linux.

Below is the procedure to be followed for on device debugging in android.

Open terminal and traverse to  platform-tools in android SDK where you will find adb

Give $ ./adb devices then you will find

 List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions

So we need to give USB permission in order to do on device debugging

Step 1.

      Create/edit a file in /etc/udev/rules.d called 99-android.rules:

      $ sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules

      Add the following line to it and save it:

      SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”18d1, SYMLINK+=”android_adb”, MODE=”0666

Step 2. Restart udev:

        $ sudo restart udev


Step 3.

       $ ./adb kill-server
       $ ./adb start-server
       $ ./adb devices


Note: Sometimes  device require to disconnect the usb cable at this point and then reconnect it.
