Kindle Fire USB Debugging Mode

Question

I am porting android apps to Kindle Fire in eclipse. the problem is that i did not know how to on/off the USB debugging mode of Kindle Fire??

Solution 1

here is a simple how to

debug mode

Solution 2

You simply need to add the Fire's device ID to your android_usb.ini file so that the Google ADB drivers will find it. You can do this from the command line very easily with:

echo 0x1949 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini

Then restart adb

adb kill-server
adb start-server

Solution 3

Here is how I enable USB Debugging on Kindle Devices

From the Kindle Fire, open “Settings“.

Do one of the following depending on your device:

Original Kindle Fire – No action needed. ADB is enabled by default.

Kindle Fire HD – Select "Security".

HDX and Newer Models – Tap “Device” or "Device Options", then tap “Serial Number” 7 times until “Developer Options” is unlocked.

Choose “Developer Options“. Set “Enable ADB” to “On“ and allow USB debugging.

You will now be able to see your device in the device list while trying to run your application . You can go to the same option to switch off USB debugging.

I didn't have to download any separate drivers for Kindle Devices but I always ensure that my Android SDK tools and platforms are kept upto date .
