Connectivity problems with Glass

Question

I've created a small Glass app and am trying to help someone else side load the .apk file directly on on their Glass as part of internal testing. I had them install the Eclipse + ADT Bundle, run the SDK Manager, etc (i.e. the basic instructions from here). They verified that the Google USB driver does show up in the SDK Manager.

With the device plugged in, running "adb wait-for-device" hangs. So it doesn't appear device communication is working. The device also does not show up in DDMS in Eclipse.

They verified that USB debugging is enabled on the Glass itself under settings.

I also tried having them follow the instructions here but this also did not help. They are able to see the Glass removable storage device in windows.

Any suggestions on what else to try? I do recall that with my Glass device at one point I put it on and it asked me if I wanted to allow debugging from the computer where it was plugged in. I'm not sure if this could be a roadblock here or not but I'm also not sure how to get to that prompt.

Answer 1

Once you get the correct values into android_winusb.inf it works fine, see Google Glass ADB devices doesn't find. OMAP4430 driver not installed (can't find it!)

Here's an example on a Win7 box:

Answer 2

The easiest workaround is to find a Mac, Chromebook or Linux computer. Windows with ADB and Glass is nothing but pain.
