Android development for Samsung tab2 tablet

Is it possible to develop android applications in Samsung tab 2 tablet using Eclipse?
Does it require any driver installation?

Solution

  • Of Course You Can! you have to install standard android developpement tools (SDK,ADT) ad eclipse (Juno latest release). Download SDK from this link, refer also to this link to learn how to intall it and finally install the ADT plugin.

    1. Install the correct device driver from Samsung onto your workstation, I advice you to install Samsung Kies that will be enough to recognize your Android Tablet, it contains the necessary drivers to work with your Android Sambung tablet.

    2. Pick the correct API level for your project, i.e. HoneyComb

    3. Turn on "USB debugging" on your mobile device Settings --> Applications --> Development --> "USB Debugging"

    4. Connect your Tablet via USB, it should be visible in Eclipse now (DDMS perspective), you can run your apps on your tablet now.
