How do I connect to Kindle Fire for development?

What do I need to do to use my Kindle Fire for android development? (Specifically for testing my apps on the device.)

Solution

  • You can find the instructions for connecting Kindle Fire to the ADB in a PDF of instructions provided by Amazon.

    Paraphrased from the document:

    1. Edit the adb_usb.ini file (located in ~/.android/)

    2. Add the lines:

      0x1949
0x0006

    3. Save the file.

    4. Run these commands to restart adb:

      adb kill-server
adb start-server 
adb devices

    NOTE: For Windows 7 users you need to download an additional driver.
