- Select ‘Settings‘ on your android phone
- Then go to Applications > Development and enable USB debugging by placing the check box in front of it
- Next, you have to download the SDK from Here. select the Windows version and save the file.
- After downloading the file(which is not huge file but can take sometime on a slow internet connection), unzip it on your hard drive on a location that you will remember
- Now, download the JDK (Java Developer Kit). Don’t be confused by the number of different files that are available to download on that page, the one you will need is Java SE Development Kit (JDK).
- Now run the JDK installation and install it complete.
- Next, plugin your android phone
- Locate the folder you extracted the Android SDK in (on 5th step above), open the Tools folder and double-click ddms.bat (it might be titled just ddms if you don’t show extensions)
- The first time (only first time of using it) you open the Android SDK DDMS, you will be prompted with a window asking if you are willing to send usage statistics to Google. Click the Proceed button to finish opening DDMS
- The Dalvik Debug Monitor will open. Make sure your device is listed in the upper-left window, and select it by clicking on it once
