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.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
