How do I connect to Kindle Fire for development?



What do I need to do to use my Kindle Fire for android development? (Specifically for testing my apps on the device.)

  1. You can find the instructions for connecting Kindle Fire to the ADB in a PDF of instructions provided by Amazon.

    Paraphrased from the document:


    Edit the adb_usb.ini file (located in ~/.android/)
    Add the lines:


    0x1949
    0x0006


    Save the file.
    Run these commands to restart adb:


    adb kill-server
    adb start-server
    adb devices




    NOTE: For Windows 7 users you need to download an additional driver.

  2. Linux uses a different way to set up the device. According to Using Hardware Devices, you need to set up your Linux system as follows:


    Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules as root, and add the following line (create this file if it does not exist):


    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1949", MODE="0666"


    Change the permission of this file by executing the following command as root:


    chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules


    Reload the rules by executing the following command as root:


    udevadm control --reload-rules


    Run these commands to restart adb:


    adb kill-server
    adb devices




    If everything is ok, you will see your Kindle Fire listed as a device.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
