Android applications

Hint: For Android development under Debian/Ubuntu, normal users need to be able to access the USB device file so that ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) can connect to it when started by the user. As this is poorly documented for newer udev releases, hits is e.g. the udev line needed to make the ADB USB device file of HTC devices accessible to all users:

        SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
