I'm about to start writing some Android applications, I have downloaded Jave/Android and Eclipse.
I have a test Android tablet (Viewsonic Viewpad 10s) which I will be running the software on.
I was hoping to be able to just plug the Android device straight into my PC to allow me to debug/run applications on the tablet.
I have purchased a male->male USB cable and plugged it into both devices, but nothing happens, it doesn't even come up with an 'unknown device' in the 'devices' window. Is there something else I need to be doing to get Windows to recognise this device? (I'm running Windows 7 (64bit)).
Alternatively, is this the best way to be running/debugging on the tablet? I was thinking that there might be a network debugging application, as both devices are on the network?
I'm totally new to Android, so might be missing something obvious. Although I have set the 'USB Debugging' within the 'Development' menu.
Thanks in advance.

It's a Windows problem, Windows isn't capable of recognize your tablet on its own, you need to install the appropriate USB drivers for your device in order to use your tablet when it is connected to your PC.
Under a GNU/linux distribution like Ubuntu everything is much more easier and you can just plug in your device without installing anything, you just have to set the right permissions for the device once.
Unplug the device from your machine
Install the driver for your device : http://www.viewsonic.com/support/downloads/drivers/_download/tablet/viewpad10s/ViewPad_10s_USB_driver.zip
Plug your device in
look at the device for a notificaiton saying debugging enabled.
If you dont, you will need to open Device Manager, find the listing that your computer thinks the device is and right click and uninstall it. Then unplug and replug.

As I started working with the GearVR, I tried to deploy the app with the usb cable plugged into the GearVR case, which is not working for me. So I always unplugged the device and deployed directly connected to the phone. This is kind of annoying after a while so I thought wifi debugging is the solution, but it takes pretty long to deploy even small apps (more than 3 minutes).
Is there any solution to speed up wifi deployment
Is it possible to plug in the cable directly into the gearVR for debugging/deployment?
As far I know, Samsung GearVR is an Android device. You can do this with cable and you should be using cables. To get this to work, you must
1. Install the Samsung GearVR driver on your computer.
2. Enable DEBUGGING from Developer options.
To make sure that Unity will use cable for Samsung GearVR, it must be recognizable by Unity. Open command prompt with cmd the change your directory to AndroidSDK\platform-tools with cd /d G:\AppDev\AndroidSDK\platform-tools . Replace G:\AppDev\AndroidSDK\platform-tools with your android SDK location. then type adb devices. If no device is found then Unity wont' recognize it. Reboot your computer and try it again.

I have samsung galaxy note 10.1 and model GT-N8000, I want to connect it to android studio and want to run my own made app. But my android studio not showing anything and even pc do not detect it , not even popping up notification to show me that some thing is connected. I check this device to other computers but got same thing.
So what could be a problem. I have done resetting , but nothing is helpful, Updated driver, installed the google driver for usb, installed the universal driver. But nothing is really helping. So at least pc should detect it but its not.
Any solution. ? Please help
Make sure, that you chose Connect as Camera or PTP on your phone.
Go to developer settings and activate Adb-debugging or USB-debugging.
Also check, whether you have installed the correct drivers. Try to reinstall the correct drivers.
And make sure that neither your USB cable nor your USB-drive is faulty. If so try to use another cable and different usb-drive.
You could also try to connect your phone wirelessly to Android Studio
Couple of things you can try -
Go to settings, developer options and turn USB Debugging on. If it's off, Android Studio will not detect your phone.
If you PC is not detecting your device, either your USB cable is faulty or your USB drive. Only way to know is connect your phone to another USB-Drive or connect it using another cable.
I've done a lot of research about rooting a device but I can not even come up to this point because my phone is not recognized by windows 8.1 at all.
My intention is to establish a usb-connection between an android-device(Samsung GT-I9506) and a pc in order to use it for phonegap. Some other devices properly work collaboratively with phonegap but this one seems to refuse all attempts.
Important points:
1. The device is charged up when connected to a pc.
2. Use-Debugging is enabled
3. All drivers are installed, furthermore it's a Samsung PC and Phone
A related topic is this one: USB connection issues
But unlike the problem in the topic above my phone does not appear in the adb-list when entering:
adb devices
I plugged my phone into another pc(Windows 8.1) as well where it was not recognized either.
Thanks in advance.
If your system installed Android ADB Interface Driver then only you can see your Device in IDE.
You can check that
Go to Control Panel
Go to Device Manager
And find Android Phone like
It turned out that the usb cable was the reason for broken communication between pc and phone.
Strange enough that this faulty cable was able to load the phone but unable to establish a communication channel to other devices.
And the moral of this story is a usb cable of a smarthphone might be faulty even if other electrial supplies are still intact.
Unable to install the drivers for the usb debugging mode on android-system.
The device — Sony Xperia V with Android 4.3, on the PC — Windows 7 Home Premium.
Phone Information in Device Manager. There he defined as "portable device". Sorry for language. It is russian :(
I downloaded the latest ADB drivers from the sit Google, set them manually, and the picture is as follows:
ADB does not see the phone.
Update the Windows driver does not, on the grounds that the best of everything is already.
If remove them when you reconnect a Windows device starts again instantly put all the same his driver.
Disable automatic driver installation failed. In the Home version of Widnows is only possible to disable autostart them with auto-update service, which I did. Set gpedit.msc, where he was to be an item on the prohibition of automatic installation of the device, but it was not there.
You can connect your phone is turned off debug mode and then turn it on. In the Device Manager list is updated, but nothing new in it does not appear.
I faced with this problem for a long time ago when I try to install a custom recovery . Then the phone just was not detected, probably due to lack of drivers. Tried in vain to fix anything, but it was easier to use someone else's car, where the driver got up at once as it should. Now, the problem still want to overcome, for debugging applications on android-emulator inconvenient, it would be nice to do it several times on a real device.
Now I don't know what to do :( Help me please.
You have to install the PC Companion from Sony.
I've followed this post trying to run my application on my galaxy. My app is debuggable, USB debugging is checked on phone and I've manually installed USB drivers - my device manager shows me that I have Android ADB Interface installed.
Despite it all - when I am running adb devices it would only list the emulator.
Any ideas? thanks!
P.s. I am running windows 7 and the mobile is Samsung Galaxi 1900I
I use Droid X, in Win 7.
sometimes it is not work too (adb can't detect my device)
but the solutions is simple, just switch usb connection into Windows Media Sync (ie. from PC Mode) , it is work for me.
also make sure to set your device in Debug mode (USB Debugging)
Yotamoo, When you first plug in, Windows offers you some choices on how to deal with the new device; Open in File Explorer, etc...one of them is Windows Media Player. Choose that. I had similar problems and this solution worked for me and my galaxy S3...
hakim, why does this work?
Make sure you installed the USB Drivers.
Locate your phone in Device Manager and see if it working correctly.
These are the correct drivers.
Turn Debugging mode on on your phone.
You will be prompted to accept USB debugging on your device if it detects some application would like to use it.
After you agree it will pop up as a debug-able device.
I had the same problems.
Try to update your smartphone in the device manager (computer->properties).
