How to turn Android Tablet into PC

This is the cheapest way I have found to make my Nexus 10 tablet to work like PC. This is what I 've done.

1. You will need ...
  • Android Tablet (3.x and above)
  • USB On-The-Go
  • USB hub
  • USB keyboard (I use infrared wireless keyboard)
  • USB mouse
  • Tablet Stand : I made my own Lego tablet stand, like this->




2. First, Fully charge your tablet  (because Android use usb port for charging it.So, you cann't charge it when connect with other usb devices)

3.Connect usb keyboard & mouse with USB hub. Then connect USB hub to USB On-The-Go and plug USB On-The-Go to the tablet.

4. That is !! Now you can use mouse and keyboard to control your tablet like normal PC. Have fun :)

How to fix "Android SDK Content Loader" always loading at 0%

I have a headache caused by this problem. After I did update the Android Development Tool (20140702) I have an issue about "Android SDK Content Loader" doesn't load anything. I have tried many thing as they said on the internet but it just a temporary fix. Here is what I found out how to fix this problem.(I using Ubuntu Linux )

1. First, when  "Android SDK Content Loader" is loading at 0% then kill adb and eclipse process at your terminal.
# ps aux | grep adb
# kill -9 XXX  
where XXX is adb process id.

#ps aux | grep eclipse
#kill -9 YYY
where YYY is eclipse process id.

2.Move the Android SDK folder to be temporary folder.
#mv android-sdk android-sdk-backup

3.Execute the Eclipse, this time it will ask for the SDK folder. Just point to  another SDK folder. (I downloaded another SDK)

4.When Eclipse has finished all loading process. Move the temporary folder back to normal.
#mv android-sdk-back android-sdk

5.Then set the preference path of the SDK back to normal setting. It should work again.

#AndroidWear Preview : Connect to Emulator

  Yesterday, I couldn't install Android Wear Preview app from Google Play on my tablet Nexus 10 (even it is KitKat). So, I asked on the developer forum. People told me that the app just doesn't support tablet yet (phone only) and somebody suggested me to find apk file (try searching on XDA website)and install it directly. Today, I just did it.

1. I ran the Emulator up. Read this page for the setup.

2. I connected my Nexus 10 to my computer via USB cable and open the Android Wear Preview app then set it's notification access as they say on the Get Start page

3. Then I connect the emulator and Nexus 10 by running below command on the terminal.
adb -d forward tcp:5601 tcp:5601

4.Finally, the Emulator displayed my Nexus 10's notification.  Wow !!


That is for today. See you next time :)
