Actually, while I haven't had time to mess with this again since last night, I'm 99% certain that the reason the tablet wasn't connecting via USB is the fact that the USB debugging, located in the formerly hidden Developer Options (thanks again, TreKing, for the help with that), was off. After I get some more work done on my port of my desktop brewers beer formula calculator (GTbrew2 ---> GTbrew2/Android)---trying to get the big database working today, and hopefully move foreward from there, I'll be trying to get adb working across TCP/IP (I saw the options to connect via TCP/IP in the adb options, but so far, no luck getting it to actually connect from my Mac to the adb server I think I started on my tablet). Then I could use my Mac to directly receive logcat data (I also found out how to filter the results, so it would actually end up being an improvement...if I can just get past that very short USB cable...with the Android-side connector being about 1/2 the size of normal). > BTW, I wouldn't blame Google for the adb problems.

I blame google for what google did: deliberately make developers jump through hoops to debug apps we're developing by breaking what was working fine before. This morning, I started seeing indications that not only is logcat screwed up now, it may actually be deprecated. If that's the case, there's a new method that should be an improvement, if they'll just let us know what it is...... I'm not holding my breath, though. > This sentiment is best expressed in Google's explanation of > why they use the Apache Source License for the AOSP > project: > http://source.android.com/source/licenses.html#why-apache-software-license Wait, isn't the Apache Source License one of the most open ones? Maybe I've missed something...who knows.....
