Having trouble connecting Android device for Eclipse development - android

I'm running Windows 7, trying to connect my Android phone by USB so I can start developing in Eclipse. The phone is a Huawei Prism running Android version 2.3.6, and I've set it to USB debug mode. The phone's driver failed to install and I got the following error message:
Device driver software was not successfully installed
Android Adapter No driver found
I Googled around but couldn't find anything on this error. The Device Manager shows a yellow exclamation point.
I'm not sure if this is a device usage question or a development question. My goal is to get my phone to be available under Run As... in Eclipse.

Download and install Hi Suite. It's used for syncing Huawei devices, it'll have the driver you need.

You must always install your specific phone USB Driver before being able to debug by USB.
So generally a " USB driver" search on Google does work.
I did it for you and found this page : http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=Mzk1MzA=
Is it the driver you tried ?

A more flexible way is to install the Adb Driver Installer: http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
Once you download it, enable USB debugging on your phone and plug it to your computer. Then, use the Adb Driver Installer to install the required driver. It works for any Android device! Hope this was helpful. :)

I recently found the right way to address this USB issue with Huawei.
Go to http://consumer.huawei.com/en/?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=Mzk1MzA=
Search: USB Driver
It will be the option HUAWEI Android Phones USB Driver
Make sure it is version v1[1].0 and file size 7.76 MB
Download zip, extract, proceed with usb download
Note: Make sure you debug and keep "stay awake" on before hooking up your device.

My phone doesn't connect to PC

in the last week, I've been trying to connect my Meizu m2 phone to my computer for debugging purposes (running an app from the android studio) without any success.
I've enabled my USB debugging mode on my device, I've connected it to be on MTP rather than PTP, and I've also taken a look at my computer's device manager, and seen that the device wasn't listed under other devices category, and honestly I couldn't tell where was he listed.
In addition, I've opened an android studio and pressed the run-app button, but my phone wasn't recognized by the android studio.
Please help me fix this issue.
Follow these steps:
Try installing PdaNet+ Windows app
http://pdanet.co/a/
Install PdaNet+ Android app on your device. Download from Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet&hl=en
Now connect your phone to PC/Laptop
Open Android Studio and check device connected or not
Hope this will be helpful...
There is many reasons and some instructions :
1- disable driver signature enforcement and connect again
2- install Universal Driver
3- install another ADB Driver

Android adb devices does not detect my phone

I have Android Studio on Windows 8.1 and I want to run my android app on my Samsung Galaxy S7 phone.
Here are the details:
USB debugging in my phone is ON
adb version is 1.0.36
Under Device Manger -> Portable Devices -> My Phone, the status is 'The device is working properly'
I also installed Google USB driver in SDK Tools
My desktop can detect my phone since I can read and write files using Windows Explorer
I tried the following but still, adb devices still does not recognize my phone.
Tried USB Configuration MTP
Tried USB Configuration PTP
Tried using different USB cables
Tried restarting Android Studio before and after I plug my device to my desktop
Did I miss any configuration? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
I too had the same problem.
I tried the following and it worked.
Make sure Developer options and USB debugging is enabled on your device
Then on your Windows system.
Open device manager and locate your device's ADB Interface Driver
Right click and choose properties
Check in the general tab if your device is working properly
If it is not enabled then go to Driver tab and select enable
You may have to try enabling your device a few times(7-8)
If this works then you may see the below message on the General tab
This device is working properly.
You need to restart your computer before the changes you made to this device will take effect.
And that's how I made it work.
install drivers for your device and enable developer mode for your device
While the simple answer here is enable debug mode and install drivers, I think the answer should mention that if nothing works , do install google drivers. I stumbled on a video explaining the same, so adding the link here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asbkkV-IIZc
It helped fix my issue with oneplus device. Also, I could get the google usb drivers from android studio > sdk manager > sdk tools section.
Hoping to save someone else's time.
If you entered command adb devices in cmd and don't see your device ID, you can to open Windows Task Manager and close adb.exe task. Then you need to open again cmd and enter adb start-server and check devices again.
If you don't see your device ID after all then maybe problem in phone or drivers.
I found the answer here
I just need to install Samsung USB driver and it worked fine. I guess the Google USB driver did not work for me.
Also, I didn't know that I need to install a USB driver even if I can already read/ write files to my phone when I connect it to my desktop.
In Device Manager, I was looking at the wrong device (Portable Devices). I should have been looking at Other devices and there I can see that the Samsung phone has no drivers installed.
Thanks!
I had the same problem. Just try another USB port on your computer.
rebooting of the android device worked for me. Also, try to use the port USB 2.0
I was also facing the same issue on my MAC-OS. Restarting the MAC fixed the issue.
I also installed Android File Transfer to check if this was only a debugging issue or if it was an issue with the connected devices. Even AFT wasn't working so it was definitely not a debugging issue.
I also got this message on launching Studio after restarting the MAC.
sometimes windows firewall prohibit the adb.exe in platform-tolls folder
first check your phone and be sure about "usb debugging" is "on"
check that Default USB configuration is on "transferring files"
if you checked 1,2 but the problem is not solved you should reinstall platform-tools from "SDK manager" then "SDK tools" uncheck "Android SDK platform-tools" click apply then reinstall it by check "Android SDK platform-tools"

Eclipse not detecting android device

Eclipse is not able to detect my android device even though it is connected to my computer. I had it working on my computer earlier, but my hard drive crashed so I had to reinstall/setup eclipse, and now it doesn't work. I have enabled USB debugging. I updated my USB drivers/ android devices. I tried connecting my android phone first, and then tried my tablet, but there was no change. I tried restarting the ADB server. The android project runs on the emulator, but the emulator takes so long to load and is laggy. I did a lot of research on how to fix this, but nothing is working. In my eclipse console it says, "Failed to find an AVD compatible with target 'Android 4.4W'."
if you have root, you can try to use Wireless adb via wi-fi. for this you must install from GooglePlay app like "wireless adb" run it and connect from cmd like this:
"e:\androidSDK\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe connect 192.168.0.68:5555"
Also i recommend you to install free third-party android emulator BlueStacks, it work very fast! faster then real device connected by usb
For virtual device try Genymotion
For hardware
-first check if your device is connected - adb devices //some serial number should list. If empty, you need to install proper drivers manually.
also check in windows Device manager
Try to disable USB debugging then enabled USB debugging.
Relay! Yeah it's work.

not debuging my phone android application

I am trying to test my android app (android 2.3.3) via my karboon A1+ phone. However, I cannot get Eclipse to recognize my device on the debug config menu. My phone is recognized by my computer when I connect via the usb cable. I can access my phone via windows but not Eclipse. Also, the karboon A1+ driver has been recently updated when I updated to android 2.3.4.
The reason I am using my phone to debug is b.c the emulator keeps crashing/failing to install my app. I am running Windows Vista 32bit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Are you in developer mode on your phone?
This might help - Android devices
You would possible need to install the android drivers called ADB
This is also how to install the android driver from your SDK - Installing Drivers
Don't forget to enable apps from 'unknown sources' and enable ADB debugging.
Without both of those you can't install and get the console output from your app, which is pretty essential.
Those devices from small manufacturers are really tricky to get the drivers to work.
Apparently this guy got it working, it's a very hacky way, but I'll put his text:
I downloaded Zte n721 USB driver for my mobile. ( It
requires speecific driver for your device. Google usb drivers works
for very few mobiles. ) Then I put vender ID for Zte 0x19d2 to my
adb_usb.inf. ( You can not save in edit but you have to use : echo
0x19d2 >> adb_usb.inf ( use your vendor id you can get it from net I
got it from mypcdrivers.com) When you allow debugging on the mobile,
it works.
Apart from that the best thing is try to contact directly with your device manufacturer via this link http://www.karbonnmobiles.com/contact_us.php and demand an ADB Driver.

How to connect the device to Eclipse?

I am not able to resolve this simple issue.
I am trying to connect my device to Eclipse via USB cable.
On my PC, I have installed Eclipse and the Android SDK and running the program on the emulator is working fine.
I have downloaded and installed Samsung Kies on my PC. It shows my device if connected via USB to the PC.
But I dont know how to connect the device with the emulator.
Connect means, I want to run the Eclipse code on my device instead of emulator. I am using Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i. Please help me out to resolve this issue.
Comment is lack of formatting so i add an answer.
Check if your computer had your phone driver. I assume that your use Windows. Open Device Manager
At a command prompt, in the Start Search box, or in the Run box, type the following command: mmc devmgmt.msc
. Other ways : check link
If you find your phone name or ADB Interface so you got driver. Try to restart DDMS or restart your Eclipse.
If you don't find your device or see something Other device with yellow question mark so try to install driver by browsing on your phone to Settings - Developer Options - Enable developer option - Enable USB debugging - Plug your phone to computer. Windows will ask you to install driver.
3, Update Google USB driver in Android SDK Manager (in Eclipse) or search Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i driver
4.Some weird case i got on some device.
Nexus S: disable Developer option. Restart phone. Enable again. Windows ask to install driver or you will see it in Eclipse.
HTC phone or Samsung : change Connectivity Option on phone to Charge only (Swipe status bar. Check notifications displayed). Some phone set it to some kind of Sync data so Windows can not recognize device.
I think your emulator is in Automatic. You can change that to Manual.
Try this,
Step 1
Go to Run Configuration
You can see three Columns Android,Target and Common.
Step2
Select the Target
Step 3
Choose Always prompt to pick device.Click Ok
Step 4
Now run your project you should see the emulator and your device. Select your device and click ok.
Hope it helps.

Troubleshooting
This all sounds very straightforward, but there are countless quirks and hard-to-diagnose problems that can make connecting a device much more difficult than it sounds. In this section, we'll run through a checklist of things to try when your device isn't registering.
Check that USB Debugging is enabled. This setting can inadvertently (and perhaps even automatically) change when you plug/unplug your device from your machine, or when you reboot your phone.
Check your device while it's connected to your machine. Is it asking you to choose between different modes? Some phones have a 'charge only' mode that can prevent Eclipse from recognizing the device.
Choose a connection type
Make sure you don't have an Android Virtual Device running in the background.
Could there be a problem with the USB cable? If you have a spare cable to hand, plug it in to rule out a fault with the cable itself.
Double-check you're running the correct driver. Even if you are, some devices have all the required software pre-installed (for example, HTC Sync) and downloading drivers from another location can muddy the waters. If this might be the case with your device, try uninstalling the driver from your machine and reinstalling the software from your device's memory.
Does the driver require supporting software? Samsung Kies on Windows requires .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 or above, for example. This is usually installed along with the driver, but there's no guarantee.
Running the Android Debug Monitor tool (monitor.bat) has been known to kickstart Eclipse into recognizing a new device. Connect your device, locate monitor.bat (android-sdks/tools/monitor.bat) and double-click to open. This will open the Android Debug Monitor, a stand-alone debugging tool that lists connected devices.
Android Debug Monitor
A running adb.exe process can interfere with the connection. Close Eclipse, and open the Task Manager by pressing CTRL, Shift and Esc. Find the adb.exe process and kill it. Launch Eclipse and try again.
Check that your 'Project Build Target' is compatible with the Android version on your device. You can check what version of Android your device is running by opening 'Settings' and selecting 'About Phone,' followed by the 'Software information' option if available. If you need a reminder of your project's build target, ensure the project is selected in Eclipse's 'Package Explorer,' open the 'Project' menu and select 'Properties.' If the 'Android' tab isn't selected by default, open it and the Build Target will be displayed.
Have you enabled USB debugging in your device?? You can find it in your device
Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging.
The android app you have created will be a .apk file, generated by eclipse, during a successful Run. Find the .apk file from the eclipse project explorer or by tracing your workspace. Copy the .apk file to your memory card (via USB or a card reader) and install it.
You should also enable the "Unknown Sources" option under "Security" of your Android device.
If you have required options enabled on your phone (USB Debugging and Unknown Sources) you can try do this. On your computer open command console. Using cd navigate to your android sdk installation folder. Go to platform-tools. You should have there adb file. Run this
./adb kill-server
and then
./adb start-server
Then check plugged devices
./adb devices
First, you are not connecting device with emulator. What you want is eclipse to identify your device and use it for development.
Everything about using devices for android development is given in official documentation.
You have to put the phone in 'debug' mode - I don't have the instructions handy (but you can search here or on the android site for the info you need).
Also check for THIS.
Try right clicking the project -->Run As --> Run Configurations then select target and choose always prompt
On your device turn on debug mode
Now try running project
I am assuming you don't mean connecting the device with the emulator but connecting the device to your computer so you can debug it and run applications directly from Eclipse to the device. In which case KIES by Samsung will not help you at all. What you need is the Android USB Drivers provided in the Extras tab in SDK. Sometimes the installation will bug up because you didn't run SDK manager as an administrator so make sure you do that. When all of this is done make sure your device is unconnected to your computer and then reconnect it after the drivers are installed. You should be prompted with a new device installation wizard which you must accept. Additionally, you should have debugging enabled on your device, and as an extra step you can setup launching as a manual configuration but it is not needed.
To enable device debugging
Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging.
For more information visit here
BTW : If the Google USB Drivers don't work you might need to install the specific Samsung drivers which are located here
Goto -> Setting -> Application -> Development -> USB Debugging
Enable it and try.
I know this is a little old, but I was having the same issue. I tried all the options of setting usb debugging (off), disconnecting, restarting phone, usb debugging (on), connecting the phone and it just wouldn't connect.
I ended up installing the latest version of Kies on my machine and added the Unified option at the end of the installer and I then the phone would connect. (Not sure i needed the unified option) but it worked for me.
I tried all the above but it didn't helped me. I did couple of things additionally
Since my mobile device is Android, I unchecked Unified option from Kies installer. This is the crucial thing that helped me solve my problem
I restarted my mobile phone.
