Debugging android device doesn't work

Description

I use Flash Builder 4.6 to develop applications for Adobe AIR on Android.

Using Flash Builder on a Windows OS on a physical machine, and a Galaxy Tab Android device connected via USB, debugging works fine.

Using the same version of Flash Builder on a Windows guest on a virtual machine on VB4 on an Ubuntu host, and the same device connected via USB, debugging doesn't work. Flash Builder never manages to launch the app on the device, it gets stuck (waiting forever) randomly at different stages of the process. Also It doesn't properly detect the Android firmware version, it doesn't detect that Adobe AIR is installed on the device.

Adobe Flash Builder is very buggy, but the very fact that the guest "sees" anything different in the USB port than it would on a physical machine means in itself that there's something wrong in VB USB support.

Anything that work on a physical machine should work on the VM.

I had also experienced problems with an Arduino in the past but I don't remember the details. And with a webcam.

Basically anything other than mass storage devices has glitches on a VM.

Quite a strong claim given the fact that you only tested a few devices. There are surely bugs in the USB emulation but there are also a lot of USB devices working.

And the first question for such cases is always if you installed the Extension Pack for USB2 support.

I didn't claim it doesn't work with _any_ device.

I'm pretty sure I installed the extension pack, how can I double check?

Have a look at the VBox.log file, it contains the information which Extension Packs are installed (Installed Extension Packs:). As always I would appreciate if you could attach the VBox.log file to this ticket, this would save some time.
