I would like to know whether is it possible to use my HTC wildfire (some links would be nice) for android development instead of the emulator.

I have tried to find the information by Google, but so far no useful results.

If I get more information, I'll update here.

Thank you very much.

Sure, all you need is to install the USB driver and follow the directions from here. The USB driver is included in the HTC Sync software, which you can get here.

I tried that ... but still not able to connect the phone. I have enabled debugging mode in my phone as told but still no use. I also tried in ubuntu (still no use)

The only other thing I can think of is how you've set your phone to connect via usb-to-computer... And that might just solve my own similar problems... I'm using "HTC Sync" as my connection style, when I haven't even tried the others.

Lets find out, shall we?

Nope. Connection type didn't matter at all. "Charge Only", "disk drive", "usb tethering", it didn't change my behavior at all (I can launch apps, but logcat shows nothing from my app, and my breakpoints are ignored).

Sounds like it's time for a new question.

From your screenshot, it looks like you do not have the permissions set properly to access the USB device.

Either try to run the adb service as root:

$ sudo adb stop-server; sudo adb start-server

OR, the more permanent solution is to set up udev rules for USB device permissions. See the instructions in step 3 of the android Developing on a Device page.

Log in as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules.

Edit the file to read: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

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

Thank you so much... I got it running on my device.
