android - How do I connect to Kindle Fire for development?

Question

What do I need to do to use my Kindle Fire for android development? (Specifically for testing my apps on the device.)

Answer 1

You can find the instructions for connecting Kindle Fire to the ADB in a PDF of instructions provided by Amazon.

Paraphrased from the document:

1. Edit the adb_usb.ini file (located in ~/.android/)

2. Add the lines:

   0x1949
   0x0006
   

3. Save the file.

4. Run these commands to restart adb:

   adb kill-server
   adb start-server 
   adb devices  
   

NOTE: For Windows 7 users you need to download an additional driver.
