Adobe Shadow Labs – How to get started
Adobe Labs just released their new tool called “Adobe Shadow Labs” that helps web developers debug and browse web pages from their computer. It syncs the browser on the computer with the browser on the phone, automagically!
First thing you’ve got to do is to download the computer client, which exists both for Windows and Mac. Install it on your computer and launch it, it has to be running in the background so don’t close it out completely.
Next step is to enter Android Play(Yes, that’s Android Market with a new fance name), or App Store. Search for Adobe Shadow and you’ll find the mobile app.
The app is supposed to find the computer automatically but there can be trouble with routers, ports etcetera so you might have to manually connect.
If so, click the + at the top right of the app and enter your computers ip-address. Tip: If you install the Google Chrome plugin, you can find the ip there! See further down this post for info.
You should be able to see your computer in the app, like I did.
Now that you’ve got the phone ready and installed the computer client, the last step is to install the Google Chrome Extension. After installation you’ll find a blue “Sd” icon at the top right of Chrome.
Click it and you should see a list with the phone you installed the app on. To start browser syncing just press the two angle brackets next to the phone name(Samsung Maguro in my case).
If you did everything right you should be able to surf on your computer and the same page should be loaded onto your phone. There’s also a debugging-window running on your computer that hopefully will help you while debugging.
You can read more about Adobe Shadow Labs on their webpage. This program seems quite interesting in my opinion, especially if you have a couple of devices since you can test on all of them, without having to manually visit each page. So what do you think about it, leave a comment and let me know!
“folder failed to be renamed or moved” when updating Android SDK
I wanted to perform an update on the Android SDK on my Windows 7 X64 computer but couldn’t get past the error message “folder failed to be renamed or moved“. First I thought it’s the anti-virus that’s creating the problem, but I turned that off and it still showed the same message.
After doing som checking on the internet, I found a solution that worked for me, but it was somewhat hard to find since it was hidden in a forum thread and it didn’t go into details. So here’s a more detailed description on how to do it, if you’re having the same problem that I had.
Go in to your main hard drive, program x86 folder and open adroid-sdk-windows inside of that folder.(Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\android-sdk-windows). Copy and paste the tools-folder so that it looks the same way as below. The name isn’t that important, so just leave it the way it is.
Enter that folder and run the file called Android.bat, after some time you should get the Android SDK Manager up and running. Here you can select all the updates that you wan’t to do and press install.
When the updates have finished and you close the program, make sure you go back to the android-sdk-windows folder. Before you can delete the folder you’ll have to enter Task manager(ctrl+shift+escape or search for it on the start menu search). Look up adb.exe and close/kill it.
Now that you’ve done that you can safely remove the copy of the tools folder and start SDK Manager as usual, either if it’s with Android.bat or through Eclipse.
Happy Androiding, leave me a note if it won’t work for you!
