I'm new to Android Studio and at the moment i'm trying to run my Android Studio apps on my device (HUAWEI P20 PRO) but nothing works for me. Android Studio doesn't show my device in AVD manager.
Can you tell me what I've missed?
USB debugging is on
Driver is installed with HiSuite (in device manager: Huawei HDB Interface)
Note: Google USB Driver is installed through Android Studio.
Using Android Studio 3.5
Solved:
What worked for me was to make sure that I clicked "Transfer files" on the phone when it was plugged in to the PC. Then I toggled OFF USB debugging and then ON again.
Suddenly, my device showed up as an option in "Available devices" in Android Studios.
In addition to the solution in the chosen answer I had to restart android studios for my device to appear in available devices.
I am very new to Android development. I am trying to create and run an app from tutorial - https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/creating-project.html
But while running app it is showing me "No USB devices or running emulator detected" in Select deployment target dialog.
Background and what I tried:
I am using Lenovo K4 note Vibe.
Android version 5.1
I have enabled USB Debugging from my phone also checked "Enable OEM unlock"
I have selected USB "MTP" as connection mode when I connected my phone to machine.
I am using windows 7 and Android studio version 2.3.2
My device appears in "Device Manager" of my system i.e. It is installed properly.
When I connect my phone to my system it shows AutoPlay dialog, asking to run "Run Lenovo_suite.exe", I tried to see if my deice appears in Studio when I allow to run that app, but still no luck
I also tried by checking and unchecking "Enable ADB Integration" from Android studio, still no luck
I have already installed Android SDK for verion 5.1
I have also tried installing "Google USB driver".
I also tried connecting my device to all of my machine port
I am tried using Emulator, but it is really very slow on my machine, it takes around 2-3 hours just to boot. So, I am using my phone.
Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated
this problem just happen when your USB connection mode is not work in debug mode, Like:
File Transfer Or MIDI device
The Charging Only is Work in android 5 and above
GoodLuck
a addition to above answer i think if you try to debug it , you will get better result since android if had problem throw a error that says restart adb.exe ,
another thing whats your hardware config ?
and have you tried genymotion , i prefer it over android virtual device , working with a real device is better , but i prefer when to concentrate on monitor have device on it ;)
As per My experience many device not connect
So you need to try this Windows Software to detected your android phone
Install it on your windows system PDANET+
Thanks for your support guys. After 2 hours of struggle I found below:
When I connect my device to the machine, it shows me a AutoRun dialog to Run Lenovo_suite.exe(Which I mentioned in my question), but instead of auto running, I explored that newly created lenovo drive, which had 2-3 setup exe's(usb drivers and magicPlus), I installed both and restarted my machine. When I run MagicPlus software, it helped me to Authorize USB debugging with some kind of fingerprints. And now my device appeared in studio.
I recently enrolled my Pixel XL for Android Beta program. After the update to Nougat 7.1.2 my device is not detected properly in Android Studio Linux.
I get something like this in AVD monitor
HT6A70201284 [null]
But it was working on my windows desktop, I tried it on other linux devices and got the same issue. I came across a post mentioning about the driver support, so I updated my SDK to Android O preview, but it had no use.
Another strange behavior is when I turn of the debug mode in phone, it gets detected by my linux system, other posts state the same driver issues, but I am not able to figure out exactly which driver and from where I am supposed to install.
Just a simple solution (Working on Nexus 5X, 7.1.2),
Developer options
Select USB configurations
Choose MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)
OR
If notification panel shows "USB charging this device"
Tap on it and just select "Transfer files"
Device detected.
I am not sure if anyone else faced this issue, but after trying several stuffs, the problem seems to be solved temporarily.
Generally I use my device in charging mode while developing the apps, but after the update Android studio detects the device in Data Transfer Mode only, somehow, USB mode charging has some bugs in preview release and couldn't be detected by Android Studio.
I've just installed VS2015 Community with Xamarin to develop some mobile apps. The problem is, I can't achieve debugging Android apps on any device. Android Device Monitor shows empty list. I tried connecting different phones, which I know are detected on my friend's PC. I can explore their files from windows explorer, from there computer sees them.
USB Debugging on the phone is turned on.
USB connection mode is set to camera, no change at all.
I have Google USB driver installed in Android SDK manager.
I tried adb kill-server, adb start-server. Nothing changed. adb devices
shows empty list.
This is device manager while Developers options are disabled on the phone.
And here with enabled Developers options
I also tried updateing driver to google usb driver, but windows said it's up to date.
You most likely did not grant access to the device. Try to go into the developer settings on the smartphone and revoke the USB debugging authorisation. Then connect the phone to the pc and and wait for a popup on the phone which you should accept. After accepting you should see your device with adb devices.
You can also try to set the connection mode to MTP (instead of the camera PTP).
Hope it helps!
Enable the device for development
Goto: Device > Settings > Developer Options > tick USB debugging
Sometimes just restarting Visual Studio might help
Try the this:
1 - Close Visual Studio
2 - connect your device
3 - Restart visual studio with the device already connected by usb (with the device options checked)
This just happened to me. And it seems setting the startup project to your Android project fixed it.
My understanding is that the Google USB Drivers from the Android SDK Manager only work for Google Nexus devices (at least according to https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html); annoyingly enough, to use other kinds of devices you'll probably need to download vendor-specific drivers. For example, I definitely had to download Motorola's drivers to use my Droid for debugging purposes. Unfortunately, for whatever reason Windows wasn't able to automatically detect that that's what it needed to download, so I had to download them manually.
I had the same problem, using a Samsung Galaxy A5
Google Drivers Installed
Samsung Drivers Installed
Phone shows up in file explorer
Plugging the phone in while Visual Studio was opened resulted in a pop up asking for permission. After authorising, everything worked perfectly. I didn't have to go into the developer settings on the smartphone and revoke the USB debugging authorisation.
To preface, I had connected my phone (a blackberry which had Android and full Google Play Store access) via Android Studio before so I KNOW it's possible, but when I was trying to do it with Xamarin I was having issues, Visual Studio just wouldn't recognize my device.
Found the problem appears to be the USB cable I was using. When I standardly plug in the USB, blackberry gives me the option to just charge the phone, or to enable File Transferring. But the first cable I was using always just charged the phone and didn't give me options. I tried switching the usb cable and voila, I got the prompt, and I can see the device now in the Start Debugging dropdown. So it looks like there's charge-only usb cables as well as Data cables. Be sure you're using a Data cable else it won't be able to see your Device
I had the same issue after updating Visual Studio found that in recent versions is better if you open VS in administrator mode to properly work, this should fix the problem.
I had previously revoked debug auth on my phone, but my phone didn't prompt me to allow debugging on my PC when I connected it again. Ended-up restarting my LG V30 while connected to my PC and I was prompted to allow debugging.
After that, Visual Studio 2019 version 16.10.0 adds my phone to the device list.
Running on Windows 11. Visual Studio 2022. But, I don't think the versions are really relevant here - included for completeness.
Followed all instructions re enabling USB debugging from the device. Also, the USB Drivers for my Samsung device were successfully installed on the Windows machine.
I was running the Duet Display application as I had previously installed it for use with my iOS devices. This appears to have created a conflict when connecting the Android device, as the prompt related to Duet would appear but not the prompt to allow USB debugging from the computer along with the RSA thumbprint. Once I exited the Duet app from my system tray and reconnected the Android device I got the prompt and it immediately appeared in Visual Studio 2022.
Here's some things I check when having an issue with Android device not appearing:
Enable developer mode on the device from settings
Install (e.g. to windows) the manufacturer's* developer USB drivers for the device
Ensure the Minimum Android Version in the AndroidManifest.xml is lower or equal to your device
And as always, try a different lead and restart both PC and Device!!
*Manufacturer Android USB Development driver links I know of:
Sony | Samsung | Google/Nexus | Blackberry
I have just updated from VS2015 (14.0.25402.00 Update 3) to VS2017 (15.7.5).
Amongst other things, I had to migrate a .forms app from 2.3.x to 3.1.x...
As it (according to MS) now should be possible to install also the Xamarin integration software in parallel to older versions of VS, I first (for security reasons) wanted to leave my “old” .forms app under VS2015 and .forms 2.3x and start to update to .forms 3.x with VS2017.
First, everything looked good - I was able to open my “old” .forms 2.3.x project in VS2015 (what was not possible in the earlier migration from VS2013 to VS2015).
But, I was not able to bring my two dev mobiles (both Samsung Galaxy S7) to work under VS2015 again, although, they were showed to my dev-machine (windows explorer) correct.
After wasting about a full day (doing every suggested workaround, I found on the web), I gave up und started to migrate the .forms project under VS2017.
Under VS2017 both mobiles were showed immediately without any problems and I was able to debug to the device.
So.. it seems, as the installation of VS2017 (with Xamarin integration SW) has “destroyed” something in the VS2015 installation regarding the access to the mobile devices...
I wasn't getting the USB debugging prompt on the device to trust the PC it was connected to and it wasn't appearing in the drop down list of devices in Visual Studio or ADB. Tried many things but installing the USB driver for the device (in my case Sony Xperia XA1 from: https://developer.sony.com/develop/drivers/
After installing this device driver by right-clicking the ADB Interface device in Device Manager and choosing the downloaded driver it showed the prompt to allow the PC and now works fine. This was on Windows 8.1 . I don't remember having to do the same for my Windows 10 PC.
I tried all the options but the only way I got it working is to unplug the USB cable and connect it on a different USB port.
After downloading phone specific drivers and restarting computer / restarting visual studio etc etc. What fixed it for me was from developer options
Disable USB Debugging
Enable USB Debugging
This was on a Samsung Galaxy, looks like although it was saying USB debugging was enabled it was in fact not enabled until I retriggered it using the above method.
I am just starting to learn Android development using the Android SDK and Eclipse. I can get my HelloWorld starting app to run in the device emulator, but not on my Verizon Droid handset. I have downloaded the drivers for Windows 7 and I can see the files on the handset in Windows Explorer, so I'm assuming I have the drivers working. I have enabled the USB Debugging on the handset.
The problem is that when I set the Debug mode to Manual in Eclipse, I do not see my device in the "Choose device" list. What am I missing?
Before you connect the handset, do you have the handset drivers installed on the PC? If so, without running the Eclipse if you connect the handset to PC, does a pop up show up on bottom right saying "your drivers are installed and your device is ready to use"? (assuming windows development environment)
Before developing/testing on handset you should be able to seamlessly establish handset and PC connectivity. Only then will you be able to use handset for Android development.
Try Installing Samsung Kies. When installing Kies, it utomatically install the drivers for your device.I faced the similar issue before insatalling kies, after installing it.my problem is slved, i am able to see the device in eclipse in DDMS perspective.
