Genymotion and the Android emulators weren't working, so I decided to use a physical device to test apps. I have a Windows Laptop (Lenovo). I have a Samsung Galaxy S Lite, and I think I did the right things (Checked USB debugging on phone, downloaded necessary driver, plugged phone in to computer), and when I run my app in Studio, my phone shows up. However, when I select it and press "OK", nothing happens on my phone. What am I doing wrong?
if you want to run your application in samsung you have to install KIES software in your PC. you can download latest software from here
I figured what was going on - I was getting an error, and I didn't see it! I simply remade the project and made sure the package name had no capital letters, and it ran perfectly!

I'm running a small android project on eclipse ADT bundle.
When I debug it on my SGS1 phone it works fine.
However, when trying to debug it on a new SGS3 device,
the device is not shown on the targets devices and I can't debug it.
I've already enabled USB debugging on the device,
And installed Keis and the device driver (for windows 7, 64 bit), And restarted the computer.
Funny thing is, when I run the debugger in eclipse,
it does run the application on the phone, it just doesn't recognize it
(and of course debug breakpoints are useless in this mode).
Would appreicate any help- thanks.
This is a driver issue. Try this. Did not work, install alternative drivers.
You seem to have already tried Kies: try installing drivers separately(ref):
Go to the Samsung Mobile site
Search for your phone using the search
box.
Once you find your phone, click Support in the top right of the
phone's product page.
In the list of downloads, download and install
the USB Driver.
If that still does not work try Universal Naked Driver and/or Universal ADB Driver.
Hello Android Enthusiasts,
I am in a funny situation which, it seems, I am stuck in. I have been developing simple Android apps on Eclipse and running on the emulator just fine. But recently my attempt to install and run them on a real device (Samsung Galaxy Y) failed again and again.
I stopped the emulator and plugged my real device to the computer with a USB cable. As soon as I did that, I would see the "Installing device driver software" notification and it would complain that the driver for the Abstract Control Model, ACM, was missing.
A few times I ignored the notification and tried to launch an app on my phone. But Eclipse would simply ignore my read device, start the emulator, and run the app on it instead.
I know it is not an Eclipse issue. But how do I get around this USB issue which seems a common problem on Samsung devices based on comments left by many on various sites?
Thanks.
you need to install the appropriate USB driver for your android device Go through this link first Setting up a Device for Development and Installing a USB Driver
I was able to debug my Android application on two different computers, but have not done so for some time. Yesday, I attempted to debug my Android application on both of these computers but was not able to.
My device is listed when I use the command "adb devices".
My device is a Samsung S II LTE, but the o/s version has changed. When everything was working it was Android 4.0.3, now it is 4.0.4.
My device does appear in the Eclipse "Android Device Chooser" > "Choose a running Android device", but the "Debug" column is blank, and if I try to debug using that entry, my application is installed into the device and excuted, but not debugged.
Yes, I have explicitly specified "Debuggable" in the application manifest, although it should not actually be required.
I tried installing the latest version of Kies (and the USB drives that come with it).
I tried installing the USB drivers directly from Samsung.
Yes, "Settings" > "Developer options" > "USB debugging" is checked.
However, all of these efforts did not make Eclipse / Samsung Android S II LTE (4.0.4) debugging possible. I also noticed that there is an SDK for Android 4.0.3, but not for Android 4.0.4.
Is my inability to debug my application due to the Android 4.0.4. SDK not being available?
Better yet... is it possible for me to debug my application on my device again and if so, how do I go about it?
Many thanks to anyone that can help me!
Your problem doesn't sound too bad. Make sure you've updated Eclipse and your SDKs/tools. Make sure you've turned your phone off and on.
You should first try debugging a new empty Android project. Does that work?
Can you access logcat through DDMS? If not, can you run and access logcat through the command-line (without going through Eclipse)?
Did you set some breakpoints? From your project, did you right-click on it, and select Debug as Android Application?
Your problem is that windows doesn't recognise your device.
I recommend you to install the right driver for you samsung galaxy SII Or you can install Samsung Kies wich comes with a set of driver that should work for your Android developments.
I've got Windows 8 and I've get Eclipse installed. I tried to run an application on my phone, HTC Sensation, but Eclipse doesn't find it. When I press the run button, it says: "No compatible targets were found. Do you wish to a add new android virtual device?" But when I connect Samsung Galaxy S3 to computer, it magically works! But sadly, that is not my phone. It must work on Sensation. Oh, and on Windows 7, it was working perfectly.
As far.. I tried a lot of thing, but nothing worked.
I tried to install the newest HTC Sync, doesn't work.
I tried to reboot my phone, ADB and Eclipse, but doesn't work.
I tried to run HTC Sync (HTC Sync doesn't recognize Sensation too) in compatibility mode in Windows 7, and I tried to run it as administrator, but it doesn't work.
I searched the web, but nothing helps...
In device Maneger, under "Other Devices" it is "Android phone", but there is yellow triangle, and anything I click... nothing helps.
Also, I can browse and copy files to SD card on my phone. So Windows DOES recognize my phone!
But before, when i had Windows 7, everything works perfectly!
Some things you can try:
Install USBDeview to unregister the drivers and install them again
Use another USB port/cable. Some people have problems with the front ports of the pc, or with USB3 ports. Also, a low quality cable can cause your phone to connect and disconnect over and over again.
Try downloading the google drivers, and update to them in the Control Panel.
I have tried connecting the USB debugger on Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It still manages to fail on both devices. At the moment I am using Windows XP and I am running out of ideas.
Here is what I tried:
Installed SAMSUNG_USB_DRIVER_FOR_MOBILE_PHONES_1.4.8.0.exe
Searched and tried to install the drivers on Google drives.
Has anyone have this similar problem and could share a solution?
EDIT* Both devices Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus are able to connect to the PC but not to the debugger. Drivers installed with different variances even done installing Samsung Kias.
I am adding a bounty tomorrow for 50 reps. I really need to test what I am doing on an actual phone.
You need to download Samsung Kies I know that the software description doesn't mention that it is the correct drivers for developers, but it in fact is.
An old issue used to be:
Use the USB2.0 ports on the back of the PC not the 1.0 front facing port.
I feel you have not installed sdk properly. Reinstall the http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r18-windows.exe, the open the adb and update all the things for the particular sdk you want.
Then verify that you have given the exact location of sdk in eclipse>window>preferences>android
Then restart eclipse.
Even you cant open it then set environment variables. For that add following ;E:\android-sdk-window\platform-tools; in PATH. Then restart windows.
After that try adb devices, adb kill-server command in Command prompt.
You will be able to see your device.
Is there any "ADB interface" devices in your PC's Devices Manager?
If you are using DDMS,Maybe there is a console(cmd.exe) window behind DDMS,you can get some log there.
Did you enable the debug mode on your device? This is not listed in the steps you followed.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> and set USB debugging.
You can use PdaNet software to connect your device for debugging. I was have the same issue and resolve with using this software. Use the following link to download this software:
http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
I also have samsung Galaxy SII and i face the Same Problem before some days. But now i am able to get debug the app in My SII.
Please follow the steps and make sure that you follow it completely then only you cna able to get debug in your phone.
First select the Option to Install App from Unknown Sources.
You will find that option in Setting -> Applicatios -> Unknown sources. Select it as yes.
then Select the Option like USB Debugging.
You will find that option in Setting -> Development -> USB debugging. Select it as yes.
Now, Install latest Samsung Kias In your PC. Reboot Your PC, Eclipse and may be Phone also
Now, Try with connecting the Device.
Hope you will get debugging your app in to your phone.
If not then let me know which trouble you get.
Enjoy. :)
My phone has this:
Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Mass storage only (USB connection mode is mass storage only)
Make sure that this option is NOT checked. If it is u can enable USB debugging and unknown sources and it still wont work.
If you just need to connect to the device for install and debugging you can manually select the driver to use when you plug it in.
Don't let windows search for it, choose I will pick the driver from a list, then select android composite ADB interface. It may warn you that this driver doesn't match, but it works!
I also had many problems to get samsumg galaxy S2 work on my pc. If I remember correctly finally I ended up installing Samsung Kias and installed some drivers through there. Then restarted the computer and never launched kias from then on. My phone is still not visible form command line adb devices, but now I can develop in Eclipse and deploy on the device without any problems.
From time to time I lose connection to the device (E.g. if another device was plugged in). Then I need to restart Eclipse and my device becomes visible again.
Some friends of mine also shared that some other mobile device usb drivers were conflicting with the samsung drivers (it was ZTE if I am not wrong). They uninstalled the ZTE drivers and then got the Samsuung running ok too. Try consider uninstalling all other usb drivers before you try the Galaxy S2.
Have you installed exactly the right SDK version for the phone you're using?
Given that you can access the phone on the PC via KIES, I assume that you have all the correct USB drivers installed.
Ensure that debugging is enabled on your phone. This can be done from the Settings preferences.
Install the Android SDK. Add %ANDROID SDK_INSTALL_PATH%/platform-tools to your path.
If everything is working up to this point, plug in your phone and execute the following from the command line.
adb devices
and you should see your device listed.
Install the Android Developer Tools plugin in Eclipse.
Create/Import your project.
Right click your project and from the context menu, select Debug As --> Android Application
I have had exactly the same problem as you, I even gave up on developing for 2 months because of this. I have just started again and really needed to get this working.
I tried all of the above and pretty much every combination of the above and still failed.
I have just got it working by not doing anything different apart from when I uninstall the old USB driver (add remove progs), the next time I installed AGAIN, I used the SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones V1.3.450.0 (an older version than ones suggested on other help forums, I just got it by accident somewhere and thought I'd try it). The next time I plugged the phone in, it did all the usual finding CDC etc. that it always did when it failed...but then.... it asked for the ADB Driver, WOW! I got excited. I just selected Install Automatically and away it went.
I still already had the PDANet thing running and that popped up saying a connection is available. I've not used it though because it wouldn't install on my phone anyway.
FYI, I have these settings on the phone:
USB debugging ON (obviously)
Allow Mock Locations OFF
Unknown Sources ON
I hope this helps.
Dan.
This may not help at all since you have probably tried it already but I had huge issues on two different windows 7 machines getting my s2 to connect for debugging.
I ended up getting one working by plugging in the s2 USB connection, un-installing the drivers for it in the device manager, unplugging the USB connection, un-installing Kies, downloading the most up to date version of Kies, installing that and plugging it back in.
The other one was even more painful, it was a while ago now but I did the same as the above but removed eclipse and the Android SDK as well, installed the latest version of Kies first, the eclipse, then the sdk and made sure all of that was done before I plugged the phone in.
I faced same issue which you faced..
I solved this by this way.
1) Right click on my computer and select Manage
2) Then select Device manager..
3) connect your phone (galaxy s2 in my case)
4) I found one device with named "unknown" in sub option I foung my phone name i9100
5) Then right click on that and select update driver software
6) you will see then this..
Tadaa....Done :)
Hope this will help you also..
