<p>The USB Driver for Windows is available for download as an optional SDK
|
|
component. You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and

|
want to connect an Android-powered device (ADP, Nexus One, or Nexus S) to your
|
|
development environment over USB. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To download the driver, use the Android SDK and AVD Manager tool that is
|
|
included with the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/index.html">Android SDK</a>:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Launch the SDK and AVD Manager by double-clicking <code>SDK Manager.exe</code>,
|
|
at the root of your SDK directory.</li>
|
|
<li>Expand the <em>Third party Add-ons</em> and <em>Google Inc. add-ons</em>.</li>
|
|
<li>Check <strong>Google Usb Driver package</strong> and click <strong>Install selected</strong>.</li>
|
|
<li>Proceed to install the package. When done, the driver files are
|
|
downloaded into the <code><sdk>\google-usb_driver\</code> directory.</li>
