Can I use any Android device/TV as a wireless display screen (not Mirroring/Screen Casting) ?
I am looking for a way to mimic the setup when we connect an External monitor using HDMI/VGA/Display cable with a Laptop and then extend the display of Laptop to the Secondary/external Monitor.
Here I want to use the android device as a secondary monitor connected Wirelessly (Wi-Fi). I am able to achieve same thing from My Windows 10 installed on Lenovo T490 and a Samsung Smart TV having Tizen running on it.
I have already tried SpaceDesk and few other Screen sharing apps but they all are dependent on Apps/drivers installed on both Laptop and the Android Device. I am OK to install it on the Android device but I am thinking if without installing any such driver/application on the laptop it should work. Please note that for the Samsung TV setup as mentioned above, I do not have to install anything on the laptop.

I am new to the mobile world. Hence this question may sound silly to the seasoned professions. Please excuse.
I am trying to connect my mobile device to my laptop. I intention is to do some testing using appium. However I am blocked.
My mobile device (motorola - Android 8) is set to developer mode and is connected to my PC using a USB cable.
When I look for 'adb devices' my mobile phone is not listed.( it doesn't throw an error. It just says 'list of devices attached' but there are no items in the list.
I could not find my android phone in the device manager also. Why is it not displayed ? Am I missing something here ?
Please can someone advise.
There are two things you need to verify. Debug mode should be on and make sure to select transfer file and not charging is selected in the device options(swipe down from the top of the screen after plugging your usb cord from the device to your windows machine).
I am unable to attach VS2017 to my unity android app. Here's my setup.
I have adb connected via wifi.
C:\Users\Diamonds\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
192.168.86.20:5555 device
Unity successfully sends the build to the android phone, and logs show up when the app runs on phone:
I've got the app just running on the phone. Inside VS2017 the phone shows up correctly. When I select it, VS2017 spins for 20 seconds then does nothing. No error in VS2017 or in Unity.
Oddly I do not have the phone connected via USB. I do not know why it shows up there.
I think you can try USB instead of WIFI.
According to Microsoft's documentation
Wifi is versatile but super slow compared to USB because of latency. We saw a lack of proper multicast support for some routers or devices (Nexus series are well known for this).
using USB is a better option.

I've got an issue while trying to run an app on android studio. The list of connected device will always remain empty. Thus I can't deploy my app on the phone. The OS is Windows 10.
I already take these steps:
installed driver from Samsung. The device is shown in device manager and I've got access from windows to it
Swapping USB Ports a dozen times
Developer Setting on
Switched Media Port both Camera (Ptp) and Media Device (MTP)
Does anyone has further tips?
Look if USB debugging is enable in the developer options of your smartphone.
AVD takes forever to load my app. So I was wondering if using my android cellphone would speed things up a bit.
Very simply said, it absolutely will.
Enable USB debugging on your device.
Install phone drivers and connect your phone to your PC. When running your application choose your phone from the list and run.

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and am taking an android development class. For the past two months, I've been using the emulator to run the activity.
Recently, I've been trying to get it connected to my device. Now, the drivers are installed on my computer as I can see the device (and view the files) through "My Computer" (Windows 7 Professional). However, using something like
adb devices
does not show the device, nor through the app launcher in eclipse (when choosing between a virtual device or connected one).
Any help on trying to get it recognized by adb?
Some misc. things:
the model is SPH-D710
I've enabled USB debugging from the phone
OP here, through some help on #android (on freenode), I was able to get this fixed.
The steps I took were,
Remove all pre-existing drivers
I installed a universal driver linked by: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
And it worked after that.
