Installing Your (Android) Code Software on Windows 8.1 - Part II

After you have your environment set up for Eclipse, Java, and Maven in this manner, you'll need to install Android drivers to your Windows environment if you actually want to test your apps with your phone. The general instructions on how to do under these web pages:

http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html

Unfortunately for yours truly, I hit a snag about here. My android is of the HTC sort, and HTC has not released proper drivers to support Windows 8.1.

After a number of finagling, I finally found the solution to this, and felt like keeping it here for posterity.

As of this writing, if one is testing with an HTC, follow the directions here for steps on how to do so with Windows 8. Otherwise, the HTC Sync Manger should enable you to work.

~Happy Coding~
