Has anyone come up with a strategy for quickly debugging and running android apps on Blackberry Playbook running Playbook OS 2.0 using the eclipse plug-in and command-line scripts?

Actually I'm trying to debug directly on the device in Development Mode and not using the playbook simulator. – Arunabh Das Feb 26 '12 at 22:38

Well, have you tried to actually debug the way I described? Do you get any error? – Magnus Johansson Feb 26 '12 at 22:38

I've tried the simulator but I'm trying to use the device instead of the simulator since the simulator runs slow. – Arunabh Das Feb 26 '12 at 22:40

I used the simulator installation instructions here - – Arunabh Das Feb 26 '12 at 22:49

Sure:
- Make sure Android project targets 2.3.3 SDK,
- Install the Blackberry plug-in for ADT (it sounds like you've already done this),
- From the Blackberry Tools menu, select "add blackberry nature to project",
- Put your Playbook into dev mode (see the security section of the settings),
- Install a debug token into your Playbook (see the 'BAR Signer' page of Eclipse preferences).
Now you can run and debug apps on your playbook pretty much the same way you would on a regular Android device. In the run as and debug as Eclipse menus you should find options for running your app on a Blackberry. If not, go into run configurations and create something under the 'blackberry android application' group.
You mention command-line scripts, but there is no need for that.

Regarding the first point: the project should target SDK 2.3.3 _or earlier_. – Ted Hopp May 04 '12 at 16:21
