[erlang-questions] Erlang4android issue on Nexus

[Paul Barry]

Oh, man. [Lets out a long, low moan].

Turns out all I had to do was think about what I was trying to do... And
then it came to me: I was trying to install onto the Nexus 7 while logged
in as me, as opposed to the "owner" of the device (who just happens to be
my wife). When I install E4A as the owner, everything works a treat.  I can
even run the shell when logged in as me.

Now all I have to do is stop feeling so foolish. :-(

Paul.
