Running Android application on device from eclipse in Ubuntu/Linux

While for windows this process might be as simple as a click on the run button with debugging mode enabled on the device, with Ubuntu it needs a little configuration changes.

So, Here is how you can do it with Ubuntu/Linux:-

Step 1: Setup eclipse with Android development kit.

Download from here developer.android.com

Extract the zip file.

cd to the extracted drive and run eclipse.

Step 2: Create and android application.

how to do that : first android app

Step 3: connect your android device over USB, And enable USB debugging option (under Settings -> Developer options)

Step 4: Run the application from the run button on top.

if you get a pop up box like this, that means that eclipse is unable to access the USB device.

Step 5: Enable access to the USB device.

open terminal and run this command:
    lsusb

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1abc:0abc Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1abc:0abc Ricoh Co., Ltd

Here the vendor id is 0bb4, and the product id is : 0cac

Now open file

    sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
 
And add the following lines:

    # fastboot protocol on manta (HTC Incredible S)
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="<vendor id>", ATTR{idProduct}=="<product id>", MODE="0600", OWNER="viki"

Unplug the device and re-plug it.

Step6: Open Eclipse and re-run the application.
It should open up in the device.

Configuring JAD decompiler and jadclipse for Eclipse in Ubuntu 13.04 / Linux

How to setup Jad and Jadclipse for Eclipse on a Linux machine. 

Personally i have had problems with this setup many times in the past So i have put together this guidelines to do the setup in a hassle free manner.

Though this guidelines have been tested only on Ubuntu 13.04 and 12.04. They should work on generally any Linux machine.

Now i am assuming you have eclipse Installed. If not please install that first.

Step 1

Download jad from this location JAD Java Decompiler Download Mirror and extract the file.

• Download the Linux version Jad 1.5.8e for Linux on Intel platform [For me this didn't work]
• Jad 1.5.8e for Linux (statically linked) So i downloaded this one. 
• [don't worry about it being 32Bit/64bit.]

Step 2

Testing that Jad is working. [Optional but Recommended] 

• Arrange for any .class file. It ok to either make one by yourself.
• Or copy any eclipse path/plugins/*.jar file and extract it and you will find many .class there.
• put the class file in the jad folder
• Then go to the folder 

      cd jad158e.linux.static/ 


      ./jad <class file name>

• A .jad file should have gotten created as classFileName.jad.
• [If not please post a comment i will try to help you out]

Step 3

• Move the extracted jad folder to a proper location. I recoment /opt/

      sudo mv ~/Downloads/jad158e.linux.static /opt/


Step 4 [install jadclipse]

• Download jadclipse from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jadclipse/
• copy it to you eclipse/plugins directory. 

      sudo mv ~/Downloads/net.sf.jadclipse_3.3.0.jar /opt/eclipse/plugins/net.sf.jadclipse_3.3.0.jar

Step 5

• Change working directory to eclipse directory.  Mine is 

      cd /opt/eclipse 
      
      eclipse -clean 

• This should start eclipse 

Step 6

• Go to Window -> Preferences Select Java-> JadClipse 
• set Path to de-compiler as 

      /opt/jad158e.linux.static/jad 

• [I renamed my folder for ease so its looking a little different in the screen shot] 
• Apply changes 

Step 7 [This is the most important step]

•  Select General->Editors ->File Associations 

• Ensure that you have selected the "*.class without sources" in the upper box. This is where i make mistake most of the time.
• Select class without source on the top box Select "jadClipse Class File Viewer". 
• Set it as "default" viewer for class files without sources. This is also very important step. 
• Apply changes 

Step 8

• Now close this window and open any java library file.

 

• De-compiler should be working fine now. 

Please leave comment, any Question below. I Will be happy to answer.
