Windows 7 not recognizing my tablet for android development


I have recently imported a tablet from china (where else haha) and the driver is not recognizing it. I have tryied installing the google driver for it but windows 7 still isnt installing any driver. The tablet specs are:

  • Brand: MEIYING
  • API: 4.0.3
  • Kernel Version: 3.0.8+
  • Build Number: rk29sdk mid-eng 4.0.3 ILM47K eng.root.20120209.162346 test-keys
  • Model number: MID

If there is any other information you need just ask.

EDIT: Since there is no driver for this tablet what is the best way to debug the tablet without rooting?


Solution

  • Usually you wont find any drivers for Tablet from smaller Companys or they simply don't work. I would suggest you to use the wireless debugging, which is built in in Android ICS+. You can simply turn it on under development in the settings. Just run 'adb connect [your IP Adress over lokal WIFI]' and you should be good to go :)

    Edit: I once had the same problem. I just did not find any driver. Hope youll be luckier. But since you can use adb over wifi this shouldnt be the problem

    Edit2: I discovered that adb over wifi isn't built in in Android. I just had a custom ROM which supported this. You need root access to use it over wifi.
