Unity Can't Build and Run on Ouya

joshuahriley

I've spent the last few days trying to fix this, and done the instructions here several times but still can't get it to work. Everything compiles from the Ouya Panel just fine, but when I try to "Build and Run", I get the "Couldn't find an Android device" error message. It seems like everyone I've found on these forums with the same issue has either skipped the steps in the cmd, failed to install the edited drivers, or wasn't using SDK Manager version 21, but even after doing these things I'm still getting the error message.

I'm running Unity free on Windows 7 64 bit, if it's relevant.

You need to run adb devices and see your OUYA in the list. If you don't see it you haven't setup the driver or the android usb ini.

Try running:

android update adb

from the Android sdk\tools folder.

You did setup the Google USB driver?

I feel for you man. Took about an hour to get ADB working, and even then I don't know what magical step I took out of the 20 different tries that fixed it (so I can't help you!)
Just keep at it, be persistent, you'll solve it (I'm using the same version of Windows, if it helps, so I know it's possible)

And afterwards you'll have a really great workflow for development (hit Ctrl-B, watch the game deploy to your OUYA - easy!) which easily makes up for the hair-pulling ridonkulousness.

It looks like I forgot the final step...Just had to add the hexadecimal value in the .android folder. I guess part of programming is spending days looking for the 2 second mistake you made a few days ago haha.

Anyway, thanks for the help guys! Also, Tim, your resources have been super helpful. No way I could have even got started without you.

0x2836 goes a long way.

I didn't want to pass a USB cable across my living room so I solved this Build and Run by doing only Build and copying the .apk over wireless with ftp server installed on the ouya.

You can put adb in wireless mode in the Android tab of the OUYA Panel. If you want a persistent wireless mode there are some steps online but be careful. Make sure you always remount the boot partition in readonly mode or you'll brick it if you leave it in write mode...

With wireless adb you can directly install and launch your apk.
