Goole Glass Developers Jump Start


Google Glass Developers Jump Start

    (Examples below are for Windows)


Install latest Java JDK. 32 bit version may save you some grief.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html


Install the Android SDK 


Add SDK platform-tools and sdk tools to your path
path=%path%;c:\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130514\sdk\platform-tools;c:\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130514\sdk\tools

Run Eclipse 
adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130514\eclipse\eclipse.exe

Get Glass-compatible Android SDK and USB driver
In Eclipse, select menu Window/Android SDK Manager
Make sure these are selected. If not, select and then select Install Packages button
Android 4.0.3 API 15
Extras/Google USB Driver

Connect To Glass
Connect Glass to your computer USB port
From a command line run
  adb.exe devices
You should see the Google Glass device listed

Can't Connect using ADB
If Glass is not listed, you can see if any of these help:
-use task manager to kill adb.exe and run "adb.exe devices" again.
-install the Google USB driver:
Control Panel/System/Device Manager/Other Devices/Glass 1/ Update Driver Software/Browse my computer for driver software/
   adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130514\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

If still no love:
-edit adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130514\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf

Add these lines (VID and PID should match what you see in Control Panel/System/Device Manager/Portable Devices/Glass 1/Properties/Details/Hardware Ids). My device had these two different values.

;Google Glass
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E11&REV_0216
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E11&MI_01

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001&REV_0216
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001&MI_01

to  these two sections:

[Google.NTx86]

[Google.NTamd64]


Success
When working, you'll see a SAMSUNG Android Phone device type with device:
   Android Composit ADB Interface

That's when everything started working for me..

Next, follow these steps to mirror Glass on your computer screen:
