Do I need the "Android unlocked dev phone" to test my android projects?

I bought an Android phone to use Flash. But to my surprise, Flash does not run 开发者_如何学Con Android devices with arm v6. But I do want to make something useful and develop for it. Does it need to be "unlocked" for this purpose?

Not at all, you can develop Android applications on any Android device. Just make sure that if you want to make use of Google APIs that it's a device that supports those APIs. Also, you'll need to enable development under Settings --> Development (I believe, the location actually varies depending on the version).

Nope, just download the SDK and go. All current phones (that I know of) allow you to do debugging on-device.

If you are developing using the Android SDK or NDK, any phone with Android Market is required to be able to be used as a developer device. If you are trying to develop IN Flash, then you will need a phone capable of Flash (Motorola Droid, any Snapdragon or better processor device) but on Android I don't believe there is a way to package a Flash app onto the device, and the Flash app is always run in the browser.
