I followed all of Amazon's instructions (https://developer.amazon.com/public/resources/development-tools/ide-tools/tech-docs/01-setting-up-your-development-environment), but my Kindle Fire HD (2013 model) tablet is not showing up in Android Studio when I try to run an app. It works fine on another computer in Android Studio, but not on this one (I recently reinstalled Windows 8.1 and Android Studio 1.3.2).
To clarify: I don't see it in the device list under 'Choose a running device'.
My apologies. I couldn't see properly, so I mistakenly skipped the instruction to run KindleDrivers.exe
It's working now. :)
Change the cable ? Sometimes if you are not using a stock cable or one designed for transfer of information it will do nothing when plugged in.
or
May need to change the adb_usb.ini to include your device signature text.
Or
It is your USB drivers for the tablet.
Or
You have not gone into developer settings and enabled developer mode.

I am working at an android studio project and I always work with my own physical device SAMSUNG S7. It always worked (for a few weeks now) but today suddenly from one moment to the other my device cant be recognized by android studio anymore. I didnt change any settings! I just changed a line in the code (like a hundred times before) and after it my device is not shown in the list of devices. There is only the virtual device which is useless for me because it never displays the app correctly. Just my physical device shows the app correctly so now I need help. Otherwise I cannot continue programming.
I tried to reopen android studio and restart my phone but it didnt help.
Changing the cable plug mode (credits to Hack06)
Just swipe down the OS status bar, and tap on the device, then choose another connection mode.
Installing Samsung's development drivers
When this doesn't work, try installing the drivers provided by Samsung to improve developments. These can be found here.
USB Debugging
USB debugging may have failed. Or all of the developer settings have been reset. Try that
Reboot your phone into ODIN mode
Caution:
ODIN mode is in charge for flashing your Android phone, and if you’re not careful, you can cause permanent damage to your phone.
This solution applies only to Samsung’s devices, since they are the only devices with access to ODIN mode.
A guide how to access ODIN mode for your phone can be found here.
Install KIES software
If nothing worked till here you might want to download KIES software.
KIES software only works for Samsung’s devices.
Samsung KIES is part of Samsung Smart Switch.
Download here.
Google - Android USB Driver
My last suggestion would be to install Google's Android USB drivers. An official guide can be found here.
This may sound obvious..
but sometimes it could be a cable issue
even if it's charging it could not transfer data
try a new cable
I am have issues using the remote debugging feature of the Chrome Developers tools with my Android device (LG Nitro running Android version 4.0.4). It was working perfectly several days ago but now my device never appears on the about:inspect page.
I have followed and carefully considered these instructions including the troubleshooting tips. I have also searched for the answer to my problem but have not been able to find anything that works.
I am using Chrome version 35.0.1916.141 on my Android device and version 35.0.1916.114 on my PC (Windows 7). Neither says any updates are available.
Please note:
I have enabled debugging on my Android device and the small bug icon appears in the menu bar at the top of the screen when the USB cable is connected.
I have installed the necessary drivers for my phone on my PC.
Chrome is open on both devices
"Discover USB devices" is checked
I have tried restarting both the computer and my phone several times
The only thing I have changed on my computer since the last time it was working was to download 64-bit Java. Could this have any effect? If anyone has any input or ideas, it would be much appreciated!
Sounds like you may have gotten lucky. Next time this happens, try this:
1) Unplug your device.
2) Revoke USB debugging in the Developer Tools.
3) In the command line:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
Plug in device and accept fingerprint.
Voila, it appears in Chrome again. I went through a lot of pain with random problems with my Galaxy S5 not showing up, I was pulling my hair out for hours trying to figure it out.
Update: After launching my Android application from Eclipse on my device, it suddenly showed up on the about:inspect page. I am not sure why it was not recognizing my phone before but it seems to be working now.
Hi I'm trying to compile a Titanium Android app directly on my Nexus 7 (2013, SDK 4.3) device but I can't see any 'Titanium on Android Device' option in the Run Configurations.
My device is in Developer mode, connected to the USB, detected by Android File Transfer (Mac OS X 10.9, Titanium 3.1.4), detected by adb...
I tried to restart adb, restart Titanium, plug and unplug the device, but I still cannot see the option.
I also tested all this with Titanium 3.1.3, with no success.
I have no clue of what's happening :/ any help would be appreciated. thanks
It may sound stupid, but my friend had similar problems with his Nexus and he changed the USB slot to which he plugged his device and it worked.
Try using a different cable. Most cables are only able to load the device, somehow. Not every micro-USB-cable is capable of sending data, correctly.
Again a reason why I don´t like to work in the android environment. No one checks whether software and hardware is working the way it´s supposed to. That´s why I love Apples restrictive "closed" system. No 1000 viruses and other crap.
Well, that was a bit confusing but I finally found such option inside a Project Explorer menu...
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.
Thanks davieslacker
I am trying to test my Android apps in my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 but I dont know why, I cant. It doesn't appear in the Devices tab on Eclipse.
I've downloaded the Google Drivers via SDK Manager, I've got the Samsung Drivers for Windows x64, I've put it in debugging mode, and still nothing.
This is weird, because some time ago, but in another computer, I was able to do this with my old Xperia X8 and Nexus S, with no problem.
This phone is rooted and has a MIUI Rom on it, but my old phones were rooted and had cooked rooms too, and worked perfectly.
Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot!
On your computer, go to the start menu and type devmgmt.msc (it runs Device Management. There should then be a yellow exclamation-point box thing and a name of a driver (for the one that's missing). If there exists that issue, please comment with the exact name of the missing driver. If that does not appear there, then that means it's an issue with the MIUI rom, not so much the drivers.
I personally had some custom roms that I could not get to support ADB.
Though, if I installed "Remote ADB" from the Android Market, that would work via Wi-Fi even without USB drivers, so that is another recommendation.
Go settings on phone, manage applications, development, usb debug is off by default.
