A developer's blog

When I first plug the tab in, my computer automatically install all the drivers, but it won’t show up in ADB and Eclipse. I did a little searching but people were pointing me to Samsung’s developer page with a USB driver for phones. Sadly that driver just isn’t for the tab, a search on their site found nothing interesting either. It looks like Samsung can’t keep information for developers updated while they are still battling legal issues around the tab.

Fortunately, I remembered I haven’t turned debugging mode on the tab on, so I went ahead and do it, this time… Success!

Where to turn on debugging

Device in Eclipse

Now I’m installing Android 3.1 platform and looking forward for a happy time debugging :)

I once thought I just have to plug the device in, install all the driver and when it appeared in ADT’s device window I can just start debugging; but sadly this is not the case. Here’s a very informative guide on how to do so by Google.

Because I was too lazy to read that, I can start the program but it will not hit any breakpoint I set. I missed the first point in the guide above: I have to set debug=”true” in the application’s manifest!
