I don't even know if there is a solution for this, but seeing software like Vysor and others, I was wondering, is it possible to run my USB connected android phone as an emulator, using Android Studio for example? How can I achieve this?
Edit: I don't want to debug or run apps from android studio in my physical phone, I know I can do that. What I want is to run my phone ( with it's data, other apps installed, etc) in mt laptop, as I would with an AVD.
yeah, you can run as a physical device on your android studio. the first thing which you have to do is go your phone settings and click on about device in that press 5-6 times on build number. after clicking on that you get a pop up that your developer mode has turned on.
in next you will see a developer options on your physical device setting.
go into developer options and click a mark on USB debugging.
after that connect your USB cable to your PC. and open the logcat options in the android studio.
you can see that your physical device is connected to your android studio.
yes ,
first go to mobile setting in your mobile device there you find software information
in software information press Build number for 5 times then it shows some toast message you are a developer
after that you will find developer options in settings go to it in that you will find usb debugging ( turn it on)
3)connect device with laptop using usb in and allow all the permissions that required for connection
4)go to android studio you will find your device name .If your device is not found go to run as multiple device there you find your device just click it
Thats all
Enable programmer mode on Your device and enable usb debugging there
If you mean the Physical device to use as a alternatives of Emulator then it is okay. You can use a Android Device to run the apps for debugging. Here is a detailed documentations how to connect your device with android Studio.

I tried to play Android Studio 2.0 with my mobile without success, what I did are:
In my mobile, Apps/gear icon/Settings/SYSTEM/{} Developer options/ Android debugging/, enable the Android Debug Bridge(adb) interface (set tick).
After plug in my mobile to my PC with a USB cable, I found A0001 in my Computer folder. Within A0001, I can see the files in my mobile.
In my PC, run Android Studio/bin/studio.exe, "Select Deployment Target" window shows with message "No USB devices or running emulators detected"
I have tried two different USB drivers but got no lucky.
Perhaps I should tell Android Studio where is my USB driver? But, how?
Can you help?
I had the same problem too and I managed to resolve it this way.
First, enable debugger mode in your android device.
Go to Device Manager from Start Menu and try to find ADB Interface with an error symbol on it. This generally happens because windows sometimes fail to load all the mobile device drives.
Next, Go to http://adbdriver.com/downloads/ and download the driver installer, unzip and run it.
Now go to Android Studio and you should find that everything is working fine.
Chill....
same here... but I hope you can avoid this problem the same way I Did.
There is an "universal ADB Driver for all Android Devices".
Yep... sounds like magic.
Just follow this link.
https://devs-lab.com/usb-adb-drivers-for-all-android-devices.html
Fun fact there is no "Step 5" in that article so I'll give you.
you have to enable "USB Depuration" from "Developer Options" connect your cellphone to computer as a "MTP storage" , after windows detected your cellphone as a "Portable Device" Execute ADBDriverInstaller.exe (that downloaded from devs-lab)
check the device list and your cellphone will say "Driver incorrectly", select your cellphone and press install.
Step 6: Once the process is completed, you’ll see something like the image that appears there (in the link).
I hope that somebody else work this
Go to Run > Edit Configurations...
Under Deployment Target Options select Show Device Chooser
Dialog from the drop-down-list
See picture for reference
After struggling with this problem for a while, I found that there are certain cables that can only charge your phone, and even though they seem to be working, they do not allow your phone to be used as a "Media Device" and therefore Android Studio does not detect it.
Go to
Tools | Android | Enable ADB Integration
Make sure it's enabled. When I upgraded to 2.X it was for some reason disabled for me and it took me hours to find it.
I just cannot beleive why it is so difficult! let me try again and please check my steps again:
I installed Android Studio 2.0, then run Computer/OS(C:)/....../Android Studio/bin/studio.exe.
The Android Studio window appeared in my working area Computer/OS2(J:)/Users/MyAccount/Desktop/.
I connected my mobile with my computer, Cpmputer/A0001/ appeared, from it, I can see the files in my mobile.
I clicked the run icon in the Android Studio window, a "Select Deployment Target" window apeared with message "No USB devices or running emulators detected".
(I got two USB ports and tried both but got the same result.)
Finally found the solution : )
1. Install device’s required driver. (for me it was motorola device
manager)
2. Download Google Usb Driver from SDK Manager
3. Open your phone's setting->developer options and turn on USB debugging.
4. connect your device to computer
5. Go to Device Manager from Start Menu and try to find if there is ADB Interface with an error symbol on it.
5.1. If yes, then right click on the ADB interface->Update driver
software->Browse my computer for driver software-> Let me pick from
a list of device drivers on my computer->Select Motorola ADB interface
5.2. Now one confirmation will pop up in your mobile, accept it
5.3. Now you should see no error mark beside the ADB interface in your
device manager
There are 3 steps to set up your phone for debugging:
1) Change your phone to developer's mode by going to Settings, About Phone, Software Info, Android Version - tap at least 7 times on the Build Number text. You will get a message saying you are now a Developer.
2) Enable USB Debugging in Settings - Developer Options. Make sure you are not connected to your USB port to see the USB Debugging option enabled, otherwise it will be disabled.
After you plug in your USB, swipe at the top of your screen, you will see USB Debugging on.
3) Make sure USB connection is set to Photo Transfer (or MTP - Transfer photos and videos). After you plug in your USB, swipe at the top of your screen, and you will see Tap to change USB options on the menu. Tap it, and select Photo Transfer option.
Perhaps your mobile manufacturer does not provide the proper driver.
Go to Device MAnager and look for: Android Composite ADB Interface. If it's there, the driver is properly installed. If not... You and I are on the same "wagon"...
I tell you: Acer? Never again.
USB debugging somehow got turned off under developer options on my Samsung. Turned it back on and it worked, but only by clicking on "debug app" instead of on "run app".
With me, when connecting the mobile to the pc, three options appeared on my mobile.
Charge this phone
Transfer Files
Transfer Images
I thought I should select "Transfer Files", but it dd not work
But it only when works I choose "Charge this phone"
Few ways to resolve this problem.
Case 1: Install PdaNet+ in your system. (worked for me).
Case 2: Enable the USB debugging option in your mobile. Setting > developer > Check "USB Debugging".
Case 3: Change from MTP to PTP.(sometimes vise versa works).
Question is Your development sdk no mobile version android sdk Platform.
For example, my android phone system is 6.0, i need download sdk Platform 6.0.
First, try to revoke the usb sessions in the developer options, then try downloading an oem usb driver
If then doesn’t help you can try opening the device manager on windows, right click on your phone, select uninstall. This worked for me if I had the same issue.
I couldn't find my android phone or any USB device I connect to my windows laptop on the hidden icons. Well, my mouse and phone could charge but I can't seem to see my phone in the File Explorer option.
I prefer running Apps using my phone rather than emulator in Android Studio and yet I couldn't see my phone when I connect using the USB.
This helped me solve all my problems after several hours of searching for solution.
Download Universal ADB Drivers - One size fits all Windows Drivers for Android Debug Bridge
Please use this link: https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
I hope this works for you like magic!
I can see all the devices I connect using the USB cable and my mouse receiver.
I have searched a lot of places on Google and I just can't seem to figure out how to get my computer (which is running Windows 10) to recognize my phone so I can use it for programming. I was hoping someone can help me. It used to be simple before Android version 6.0.1 so I'm not sure if I am just not finding the right setting or what, so please if you have specific instructions or a site I can go to to help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
Like I said before, all I am trying to do is somehow get my computer to recognize my phone so I can transfer files. It used to be that all I had to do was turn on USB mass storage but I can no longer find that option.
Well first You need to make sure You have to install your drivers
Second thing Plug in your Phone in when click in notification tray see if you can find an option saying "Photo transfer" if you connect to that maybe your device will get recognized.
That worked for me on my nexus 5x on 6.0.1
If transering file is your only concern than check out Apps like xender , Zapya they will server the purpose
I have just started android app development. But I have been facing an issue since the beginning. I am trying to connect my Android 4.4 powered Intex Aqua Star II with Android Studio. But it's not recognizing my device. Infact, it is displaying a random emulator in the list which I can't use.
I can connect all other devices but this. Can anyone please help me with this?
Goto

Right click on that device-->Select Update Driver Software--> Browse Driver software---> Now browse google usb driver which will be available in your sdk

and select AdbInterface
I am using Android 10 Gingerbread 2.3.9 version . I have tested my app on Emulator using Eclipse it works fine . Now I want to test my app on real device. For that I have googled a lot and found that we need to Download the Google USB Driver package from SDK Manager.
I have downloaded and Update my driver from Device manager then it says Your driver is Updated Successfully. When I plug my Phone to PC in device manager I got 2 options like Spreadtrum Phone and a Android Phone I have updated the driver for Android Phone and for the Spreadtrum Phone it shows a Yellow bar near left bottom corner. I dono what it was and googled to find a driver to update it also but could not figured out. I left that part and tried in another way.
I have connected my Phone to my PC and then copy the .apk file into my SD Card and then unplug the cable from my pc. then I click on my .apk file. I was able to run. but the problem is with when
I try to debug the app from eclipse when phone is connected. I have chosen the option as "Allow me to Pick a device every time" from Run Configurations". But I am unable to see my device in my Devices list also I tried from Command prompt "adb devices" it is not listed my phone which I connected. I have Checked 'Unknown Resources" and also Checked " Use Debugging" in Developement menu option. but nothing solves my problem.
I have tried a lot of code samples and every one is doing in the same way but I could not figure out the problem.
Please friends tell me what is the problem as I am not able to debug from my eclipse I can't figure out the problem from LogCat also.
Thanks
