I, m trying to work out and test the voice recognition example based on the VoiceRecognition.java example at http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/VoiceRecognition.html
but when I click on the button to create activity, I get a dialog that talks about the connection problem. My manifest file uses Internet permission, and I understand that it sends it to a Google server. Do I need to do something to use this. Code below
UPDATE 2: Thanks to Steve, I was able to install the USB driver and debug the application right on my Droid. Here is the LogCat output by clicking on the microphone button:

The line that concerns me is a warning about the missing call-package parameter.
UPDATE: Well, I was able to replace the emulator image with one of HTC, which seems to come with Google Voice Search, but now when I start from the emulator, I get a sound problem message with the Speak Again or Cancel buttons. It seems to be returning to onActivityResult (), but resultCode is 0.
Here is the output of LogCat:

I'm still not sure why I, m, get Connect problem on Droid. I can use Voice Search in order. I also tried clearing the cache and data as described in some posts, but not working?
