Writing and deploying application to Android is supposed to be easier than doing so on iPhone, but I did experience some problem developing application from Eclipse (on Windows 7) to my new HTC Desire phone. It turns out that the solution is way easier than I expected.
I started by reading the Android Developers site about setting up device for development. The article explained that once USB Driver for Windows was being installed, the Eclipse IDE should be able to deploy the application I wrote to my Android device. However, my phone was not being recognized. I double checked and found that USB Driver for Windows, REvision 3 was indeed installed. How come it still doesn't work?
After being fustrated for a while, I finally came across this blog, and found that I need a special USB Driver, and that USB driver came with the HTCSync application. So I went to HTC Support site, find HTC Sync 3.0, downloaded and installed it, and then unplug and replug to phone to the computer. Sure enough, Eclipse saw the device, and I was able to run my app on my phone.
