Debugging on the OUYA

Simplest way I can ask this question: Is there a tutorial anywhere of how to debug on the OUYA the same way you debug on an Android device? Preferably using Eclipse IDE?

When I work on apps for an Android phone or tablet I can simply plug the device into my computer and debug/run with the push of one button in Eclipse. This does not seem to work with OUYA. I don't like the idea of having to create an .apk and then manually use adb from command line to push to OUYA every time I want to test a new change. Right now I'm leaning towards just setting up a test environment on my tablet and then only using the OUYA when I'm ready to test gameplay using the controller.

Does anyone have a good system set up for debugging directly to the OUYA?

    As much as I've been hating on Eclipse OUYA debugging on the device worked perfectly out-of-the-box. Check your physical connections.

    So it was just something like plug in, debug from eclipse, and it showed up directly on the tv?

    Hi! Debugging from within Eclipse should work the same as with any other Android device. You shouldn't need to manually run any adb commands.

    Ok thanks for the response I will try it next chance I get. I couldn't get the iap-sample-app to work that way so I went to the readme.txt file. Those instructions only show how to use adb (which I also couldn't get to work). Maybe I'll try debugging the sample game or the controller sample app.

    @Anticitizen make sure you place the following in your Activity tag in your manifest:
    category android:name="ouya.intent.category.GAME"

    Yes, that's how it worked.

    How do you make eclipse recognize OUYA as an android device? Right now when I try to debug the controller test app it asks me if I want to create a virtual device. It's definitely plugged in, but just not getting recognized.

    You need to install the driver.

    I followed this thread's instructions and I was able to get it to run on the ouya through eclipse by right clicking on the Android project and choosing Run As -> Android Application.
