I can't find adb_usb.ini file in .android folder?

Question

i have to add a device for debugging. we can do that by adding a hex value in adb_usb.ini file. But i am not able to locate adb_usb.ini file.

Anyone is having idea, why it is not there in .andorid folder.

What platform are you on? there is no .ini configuration file in Linux. — JoxTraex, Nov 07 '13 at 07:44

hi, i am using windows 7. i am having access to .android folder. i assume adb_usb.ini should be there. .android folder is not hidden as well. — Saif, Nov 07 '13 at 09:42

If the adb_usb.ini file is not present in the .android folder, we can create it. It should contain device vendor hex values, one per line.

Steps for Windows 7/8:

Paste the following lines:

# add your vendor IDs, one per line
0x1949
0x18D1

What is the benefit of this ".android" folder ? There's cache folder inside it, can I delete it ? – A. Khaled Jun 26 '17 at 18:15
Im not understanding what a vendor ID is or where that page mentions it @Otiel – Mark Deven Jan 22 '18 at 12:18

@MarkDodsons The page seems to have changed, the vendor IDs are not listed anymore. – Otiel Jan 22 '18 at 16:24
