i've been trying to develop an Android application for some time now but the problem i keep facing is finding a suitable emulator to run a demo of the application (I think the default Android SDK emulator is crap). Anyway i did some research and came across the genymotion android emulator which is faster than any other emulators i have tired so far. I then went on to search for a plugin for my Mosync IDE which is an IDE built on eclipse that allows you to develop native, web or hybrid apps using htnl5, css, javscript, c/c++. Anyway i installed the plugin with the MosyncIDE the same way you install any new software in any eclipse based IDE and it installed fine. The problem i have now is that i am able to run the emulator okay but when i try to run my application inside that emulator i am unable to locate the genymotion virtual device in the list. I have been fiddling with my configuratin settings for days now without any results, i do not own an android phone so testing it directly on one is not an option for me, i would like someone to help me out with this problem thank you.
Please note that i am able to run the app normally with the default androidsdk emulator.
[What i have been trying soo far]
This is what i do currently, i start the genymotion emulator within the IDE.
I go to run configurations.
I choose Android Emulator.
I hit "Refresh AVD list"
Then i choose the android emulator i want from the list, the problem is i can't find the
genymotion emulator i started within that list.
Ok. The thing is that Genymotion device is not considered as an emulator but like a real device plugged on USB. You won't find it on the AVDs list but on the "running Android devices".
You first have to check if the running Genymotion VM is connected TO ADB: Run adb devices on a console. It should show you something like this:
List of devices attached
192.168.56.101:5555 device
The Genymotion device is shown as it's IP address.
If the Genymotion device is shown on this list, it should also appear on the list of available devices when you hit the "run" button of your IDE. Like in this picture (done with Eclipse IDE).
If it is not shown on the list, read my previous answer.
So you installed the Genymotion Eclipse plugin isn't it?
And it seems that adb devices does sometimes not display your Genymotion device.
When the VM boots into the Genymotion player, it executes:
adb connect <VM's IP address>
This connects the device to adb, so you are able to debug your apps with it.
Sometimes, it appears that the connection is lost and you have to run adb connect <VM's IP address> again. You have to do it manually for now.
You can get the IP of your running device using the Genymotion Shell with the command devices list

I am using a brand new xamarin.forms solution generated with the flyout shell template in VS 2022 community edition.
When I open the emulator and follow the first time setup, where it generates a common android device I get this error when trying to launch the emulator. I also get this error when creating a device myself.
Unknown AVD Name Error <- This part has been fixed by setting the ANDROID_SDK_HOME variable to the correct directory in the Environment Variables in system settings. But the emulator can still not be used for debugging.
I have tried looking around for solutions on all sorts of forums to get the emulator to work, but didn't find anything that made a difference.
I have tried running on a local device using USB instead as it was suggested that it was easier to get to work then the emulator, which didn't work either. The device does not show up in the Android Emulator drop-down menu. I then tried different cables and it still did not show up as a detected device.I then tried via wireless connection just in case something was up with the cables. It still doesn't show up. But if I check the devices through the adb command prompt I can see the device is connected and authorized, both when using the cable and when using the wireless connection. And the computer itself detects the device just fine.
The Device is in developer mode.
USB debugging is on.
The computer is approved as a trusted device.
Android project is set as start up project.
SDK's and tools have been downloaded using the Android SDK manager.
USB drivers have been downloaded for the device.
I have already tried
closing and opening VS multiple times.
Unloading and reloading the project.
Setting the device to PTP mode instead.
Reinstalling VS including deleting and regenerating the Java and Android folders.
Uninstalling VS 2022 and trying 2019 instead.
Generating a new VS solution.
downloading and installing the JDK manually.
Seeing that Virtual emulation is on in the BIOS.
Making sure the system is able to run Hyper-V and that it is on.
checking that the folder paths are set correctly in the options menu.
Making sure all nuget packages are up to date.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated as I cannot debug and test the device properly at the moment.
If you see an error about a failure to install the APK on the emulator or a failure to run the Android Debug Bridge (adb), verify that the Android SDK can connect to your emulator. To verify emulator connectivity, use the following steps:
Launch the emulator from the Android Device Manager (select your virtual device and click Start).
Open a command prompt and go to the folder where adb is installed. If the Android SDK is installed at its default location, adb is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe; if not, modify this path for the location of the Android SDK on your computer.
Type the following command:
adb devices
If the emulator is accessible from the Android SDK, the emulator should appear in the list of attached devices. For example:
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
If the emulator does not appear in this list, start the Android SDK Manager, apply all updates, then try launching the emulator again.
Update:
you can open the Android Device Manager first.
Select the device you want to run and click the Start button, so that the virtual machine can be started and detected, and then your virtual machine The device will be added to the Android Emulators menu.
I ended up wiping the hard-drive and starting from scratch. This time all I had to do was install VS and enable Hyper-v and everything worked as it should right away.
I have absolutely zero idea what caused this issue, but a complete wipe fixed it.
I am getting started with flutter. After a day of installing all the required stuff and running an android emulator for the first time, I figured that my pc is not powerful enough for running android without significantly slowing down the computer.
(Nope, I cant upgrade my pc.)
I was wondering if there is any way I can do flutter on my pc. Any way to get something like ui output on dartpad.
I am using VSCode.
If you have an android phone, just turn on developer mode and USB debugging on it and connect it to your computer and click run. Then the apk file will be installed on your phone and it will instantly change states whenever you click run. If you don't have an android phone you can easily get a decent one for just under $50.
If you have physical android device, you can connect it to your computer. and type flutter run in your terminal.
or
use flutter web(beta) type flutter run -d chrome in your terminal.
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.
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've searched around and can't quite find the exact situation or answer that I need, so I'll have to ask a question that I'm sure has been asked somewhere out there, so my apologies. But I need help.
First time attempting to create an app, I installed Eclipse (both the entire kit from the android development site, and classic), installed the android sdk, and the plugin. Java is on my machine. I have everything that I need to get started. I was going through the tutorials on the android developer site for the first time user. Eclipse generates the "hello world" app as it should. I have my GS3 plugged in through USB with the driver installed and the system sees it. I click run as > android application... and to no surprise, nothing happens. No error message, no screen flash, no app on the device, nothing. So I tried to run it in an emulator. Not too clear how to set it up because the instructions are vague, but I got an emulator going and try to run again... nothing. No attempts to and then fails, no build errors.. no quick command prompt flashes, just nothing. The IDE just sits there as if I never clicked anything. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance for helping
My current setup is
Win8 machine
Eclipse Classic (because the one provided on the site wouldn't install the plugin)
Android SDK 21.1
Eclipse Plugin for Android dev
Java JDK 1.7
Samsung Galaxy S3 device with driver installed and set to USB debugging
First of all you have to enable developer option (USB Debugging), then connect your device, now check whether adb recognise your device or not.
to check device status open DDMS perspective then click on Devices option. if your device is not listed, then restart your adb to do that go to adb path in command prompt/terminal then execute following commands
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
that's it now you can run application in your device
