[android-developers] Re: Documentation errors in "Developing on a Device?"

Yeah, I see that it specifies "debugging" as part of the goal of
setting up. And since running in the emulator is enough to validate
that the SDK is set up correctly, I see that consolidating the
instructions for running and debugging is a valid decision.

I also see that if you specify that "Settings" is an item on the
default Home app menu, that actually makes it simpler to do it that
way than to direct the user to the Settings activity. Still, that
makes it even more clearly an error that "Settings' was dropped from
the chain of menu selections to get to that setting.

This page is a very concise, but often unclear set of instructions.
Lots of beginners get stuck at this point. Another example I found is
that restarting the udev server is left out of the instructions for
setting up the udev rule for Linux systems.
