The wicked adb devices ?????? no permissions error

I have solved it.

I searched it a lot. Did not get a complete solution.

So what I did was:

1) Plugin your Android.
2) >lsusb
gives 
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 18d1:d002 Google Inc.
3) create a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d
by the name of 99-android.rules
Insert the following:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"
4) Phone prompts for permission grant
5)adb kill-server
6)adb devices (this automatically starts the server as well)
List of devices attached
xxxxxxxxxxx    device
7)Enjoy!

What to do to stop a thread in Android?

Options:

1)
if(threadOne != null) {
Thread temp = threadOne;
threadOne = null;
temp.interrupt();
}

2)
Declare threads as Daemon threads.

threadOne.setDaemon(true);
threadOne.start();

ArrayList printing Hashcode

When we try to print an ArrayList all at once we get

getClass().getName() + "@" + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

In order to print the individual values, we need to change the toString() method in the class containing the setters/getters.

Add the following:

If your ArrayList is (snippets from my code):

ArrayList<Reservation> reservationsList = new ArrayList<Reservation>();
Reservation reservation;
reservation = new Reservation();
                reservation.setDescription(cursor.getString(1));

                // Does this work with recurring apps?
                reservation.setStartDate(new Date(cursor.getLong(3)));
                reservation.setEndDate(new Date(cursor.getLong(4)));
                reservation.setLocation(cursor.getString(5));
                reservationsList.add(reservation);

 //Add the overriden toString() method

@Override
    public String toString() {
        return ("Description:" + "\n" + this.getDescription() + "\n"
                + "Start Date:" + "\n" + this.getStartDate() + "\n"
                + "End Date:" + "\n" + this.getEndDate() + "\n"
                + "Location :" + "\n" + this.getLocation());
    }
