Debugging on my phone (Eclipse, Android)

I want to run and debug my Android apps on my HTC Incredible. On http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html it says I have to install the Windows USB driver. And the instructions for that says:

"1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Hardware Update Wizard"

But it doesn't. When I connect my phone it's visible as a drive letter and its SD card is visible as a second drive letter and I can transfer files. But Hardware Update Wizard doesn't launch. Nor is it already connected - if I go to my SDK tools directory and do "adb devices" it returns blank.

So what do I have to do to debug on my phone? Thanks in advance!!

+1 A:

Did you put your device into debug mode? This should be found under Settings-> Applications->Development.

Yes, USB debugging is checked, and so is Stay awake.

Android Simplicity has some tips for troubleshooting the installation of the Windows USB driver. If that doesn't help, try following the steps laid out here (which are specific to htc incredible).

Finally, according to this forum, it seems that it may be necessary to install HTC Sync in order to get debugging to work in Eclipse.

I apologize for not making it clear that I'm using XP, SP3 - the FlexJunk page is for Windows 7. The Android Simplicity one implies at the beginning that I need to install the drivers to transfer files to/from the phone. But I can do that now. However the phone doesn't show up as an adb device, which is why I don't think they're installed.

See my update. It looks like HTC Sync might be the missing piece of the puzzle.

I SPOKE TOO SOON! The FlexJunk page started off talking about Win7, but it also has a hack for the android_winusb.inf file for XP and that hack fixes the problem!

What happened to the post that suggested the FlexJunk link? I want to mark it as the answer but it's gone!

I just rolled it back. Glad it worked for you!
