android debugging on Command Line without Eclipse

On Windows, all command-line, no Eclipse, no hard-coded PATH/CLASSPATH, generic/reusable batch files, using only ANT and any text editor.

These instructions assume you have built & deployed a test project to an emulator ... here is how to do that command-line.

• execute C:\DATA\tools\Android\android-sdk\AVD Manager.exe
• click 'New' button
• name = adv_arm_15 (or make up your own name)
• target = android 4.0.3 - API Level 15 (or chose any that you see)
• size = 28 MiB (or designate a higher/lower number)
• built-in = default
• click 'Create ADV' button
• click 'OK' button
• highlight ADV
• click 'Start' button
• click 'Launch' button (and any 'OK' buttons that appear)
• wait for the Android logo splash screen, then the typical home screen will appear
• swipe the unlock if needed
• execute C:\DATA\tools\Android\android-sdk\tools\ddms.bat
• select the ADV you created

From here you can follow android instructions for using the debugger.

We hope this is useful!
