The SD card will then appear as a disc drive in Windows Explorer and Device Manager while the device is connected. The first time that a device is connected to a desktop by USB Windows should automatically detect this and install the necessary driver without you having to do anything. Android devices have a USB port that when plugged into a desktop lets the SD card on the device look like a USB memory stick. This tutorial tries to explain how to get your device connected to adb so that you can use it with the Basic4Android IDE.Īlthough this capability is entirely independent of adb it is worth including here for completeness in describing how devices use USB connections. Unless adb can connect properly to the emulator or device Basic4Android will not be able to load and run applications, however in this event they could still be compiled then copied to the SD card on the device by USB and installed from there. adb.exe is provided with the Android SDK and is located, together with other development tools, on early versions of the Android SDK in the \tools and on more recent versions in the \platform-tools folder. adb can be invoked without user intervention by programs such as Basic4Android and Eclipse but also has a command line interface that can be used by advanced users.
A program called adb.exe - Android Debug Bridge - is the key component that is used to communicate between programs on your desktop and the emulator or device.
