trickykittyIt only took a couple of hours, but I was finally able to find the USB/ADB driver I needed for my phone (T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide) so that I could upload the default "Hello World" app that I created today. Apparently it's the most difficult of drivers to locate EVER and required combing through about 20 different help files and forums until I finally found one guy who himself had been looking for a couple of hours and eventually found another guy who was able to provide the solution. I now know that HTCSync.exe is required to get my phone and my computer happy with each other. (It's easy to locate the file once you know that's what you need, as it's on the front page of their support website, but trying to find the documentation that connects an ADB driver with HTCSync is nigh impossible. HTCSync is heralded as a sync for video, pictures, contacts, and other files, not as a debug driver for app developers.)
I also had to go sharp shooting for another missing file (Good ol' Java) so that I could get Eclipse, the app builder program, to run on my Win7-64 system. That was frustrating, seeing as how I was able to download and launch the program without any hitches on my WinXP laptop yesterday. Finicky, finicky.
Technically, it's taken me two whole days to get this far, but only because I'm reading the crap out of the ALL of the online Android Developer files.
Oh, boy, it feels nice to get back into my programming head space, despite the random hiccups and ... oh crap, it's already 1am again ... schedule.
PS - This is all because I didn't like any of the grocery shopping list programs I tried out, and I tried out about 20 of them. Tom mentioned that I ought to create my own. Curse you, Tom!
