So I wanted to create screenshots of my HTC Hero Android phone from my Ubuntu desktop. So I …
- downloaded and extracted the android sdk to e.g. ~/programs
- cd into the ./tools directory
- run the ./android program
- Install any version specific stuff required
- sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/90-android.rules
- sudo service udev restart
- Unplug the phone and plug back into the computer
- ./ddms
At that point I can see my phone listed and can use the menu to take a screenshot.
