adb does not have permission to access my Atrix?

The Atrix does not have the option to allow installing from unknown (ie: non-Market) locations.  As such, I was unsure what I would see when I tried to install APKs from the command line...

malachi@onyx:~$ adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
????????????    no permissions

Not good... but, surely there is a way around that...?

Turns out it is quite simple really....





1. Stop the existing ADB server.

malachi@onyx:~$ adb kill-server

2. Start adb's server as root.  You could try sudo adb instead, but I didn't...

malachi@onyx:~$ sudo su - root
root@onyx:~# adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
root@onyx:~# exit
logout

3. Run adb again... this time, with root running the server, it will work.

malachi@onyx:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached

Motorola Atrix

After having to pull the battery on my N1 repeatedly today, I decided to take the plunge and upgrade. I'll let you know what I think after I have had some time to play around with it.

Repository has moved

In Galatea - A Maven/Android Archetype, I showed how to use the maven archetype to create a basic Android app.  The server hosting the Nexus repository has been replaced by services from CloudBees.com.  As such, the instructions to generate an artifact from the repository have changed.

malachi@onyx:~/work/test2$ mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://repository-malachid.forge.cloudbees.com/public-snapshot/archetype-catalog.xml
