Setup Hardware Devices debugging for Android Studio on Ubuntu 15 10

This video show how to setup /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules in Ubuntu (behind VirtualBox) to enable hardware device debugging in Android Studio.

The development platform is 64-bit Ubuntu-GNOME 15.10 running in VirtualBox, with Android Studio installed with Ubuntu Make (umake).

To enable hardware device debugging in Ubuntu, you have to create /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file to add device IDs for your debugging devices. (refer: Android Developers Document Using Hardware Devices - Setting up a Device for Development)

Create /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file with sudo right, add the line and save:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

where "18d1" is the USB Vendor ID for Google, Nexus 7 in my case.

Run the command:
$ sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Install Android Studio on 64 bit Ubuntu 15 10 with Ubuntu Make umake

Ubuntu Make is a command line tool which allows you to download the latest version of popular developer tools (include Android Studio) on your installation, installing it longside all the required dependencies (which will only ask for root access if you dont have all the required dependencies installed already), enable multi-arch on your system if you are on a 64 bit machine, integrate it with the Unity launcher… Basically, one command to get your system ready to develop with!
