Developing Applications with Android API Level 7

Takeaways:

USB cable connection can charge the phone from the computer.
USB cable connection can also turn your phone into USB storage drive to the computer.
USB cable connection can also provide debugging interface for the Android SDK package on the computer to install and debug applications on the phone. But you need to install the USB driver on the computer first.
The ADB tool has switch to select the emulator or connected device: "adb -e" for emulator and "adb -d" for device.
"ant installd" can install an application to the emulator or the connected device, but only if one of them exists.
"adb install" can install an application to the emulator or the connected device, even both of them exist. "adb -e install" works for the emulator. "adb -d install" works for the connected device.
You need to stay with API Level 7 when developing a new Android application, if you want the application to run on 99% of existing Android devices.
