How to debug an Android program on a real device using Eclipse? - android

I have never used debugging on real Android devices yet. I read the manual at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html for debugging.
I downloaded the driver for Acere130 Android 2.1 to test on it. Now I am not getting any devices when I use command on adb, using adb devices. No real device is there. Only when I run the emulator does it show the emulator virtual device. How can I move forward? What am I missing?

go to setting-->Application-->Developement-->and check the USB debugging
make sure its checked.

It is very easy. If you have connected your phone with your computer and as mcnicholls said you need to enable USB debugging. Have a break point some where in your code. And when you Debug as Android Application. It will work. Your break point will be highlighted. And you can debug your program.

Make sure you have the USB drivers installed for the device you are using.
Make sure you see your device's internal storage in My Computer.

You need to go into the developer settings menu on the phone and enable USB debugging.

To list out how many devices are attached to your machine, run the adb devices command:
paresh#technotalkative:~/android-sdk-linux_86/platform-tools$ adb devices
List of devices attached
Before starting development, you should make sure below things (As others has also answered):
Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources (Make it true)
Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging (Make it true)

Android Studio connection to a physical device

I connect my phone Realme 6s (RMX2002) to my device and the USB debugging is enabled.
Android Studio recognized & connected but doesn't show the app project in flutter like in the photo
So, any suggestions to figure this out?
You need to check your USB cable. They are in two types, one of which only supports phone charging.
I can't quite understand what you're asking here, but according to your photo, no device is selected to debug on.
My advice is to (save) =) and restart Android Studio. Make sure that the RSA fingerprint for your computer is accepted on the phone. Try restarting your phone and reconnecting. Double check that USB debugging is enabled.
I cannot tell what is really going on, it may be an issue with the ADB. Check your Event Log to make sure the ADB debug bridge started successfully.
If you simply try to run your app on an emulator, issues of this kind will be promptly visible.
If you can ascertain that it is not an issue with ADB, Android Studio, or your phone, it is probably a driver issue with your computer, if you are on Windows.
Try this link: https://www.thecustomdroid.com/oppo-realme-usb-drivers/ to install the USB drivers for your computer.
Cheers!
I a had also problem with USB debugging and it was the cable's fault.
An alternative option is to use wireless debugging. A step-by-step guide for Android studio can be found here: https://link.medium.com/UQJWZrfFqob

Android and Eclipse: I can't able to find my device LG-E720 from Run/Debug Configuration/Android Device

As title, I can't able to find my phone device into Eclipse.
I activated on the my phone, either Application/Unknown Source and Application/Development/Debug USB.
But into Eclipse not appear any device phone, why?
Thanks'
Go to the cmd prompt, and then take it to the platform-tools.
Then type the commands
adb kill-server
and then
adb start-server
Then to list the connected devices,
adb devices
you will see the list of active devices including the emulator. If the device is not present, continue the steps for some time..
After you get the device listed among the active ones, you can run it in debug mode.
Think, this will help you..! :)
I just had the same problem on 2 of my phones (Nexus 1 and Amaze 4G). After some research I found that people try to overcome this by restarting Eclipse and ADB (only Eclipse won't do) but it took me rebooting the system and phone to make it work again. If you can go to Eclipse->Window->Open Perspective->DDMS and see if your phone shows there with red bug icon next to your app. If so then try what I described above. If you don't see your device in DDMS perspective then it's your USB driver that is not working and needs to be reinstalled
Had a similar problem with my LG P520. In my case, the problem was as a result of me setting the minimum Android level to Android 2.3(9) while the phone was a Froyo/Android 2.2(8) phone. Hence, it was not a compatible device and would hence not be shown in list of compatible devices.
connect your PC with internet may be it will install some software to connect it with the phone debugger and make sure you enable the usb debugging on your phone.

Enable USB debugging on Android

I am trying to enable USB Debugging on Android so that I don't need to use the emulator.
I did what all the posts all around the web say to do: I went to settings -> applications -> Developer -> USB debugging
It still does not turn on the notification sign that USB Debugging is enabled, and Eclipse does not recognize it, and uses the regular emulator.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
You haven't specified what device you are using or what operating system you are using, so that could be helpful.
A few things to keep in mind:
1 Don't mount as USB storage.
2 You also need to make sure to install the drivers for your phone so that the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) can properly communicate. After these are installed, try the command "adb devices" and you should see an item in your list of devices.
Update based on your comment: You can download Kies from Samsung, which include the drivers (as well as other things): http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
Or you can find unofficial driver-only packages, such as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
I think you'll need the OEM USB dirvers.
Read this:
OEM USB Drivers
My experience with windows has been that you might need to un-install the USB drivers under device manager. Then disconnect the device (restart might be required). After plugging the device back in make sure you use the manufactures drivers if available
you have installed your device driver rite?then right click on your app name->run as->run configurations->target->select manual->apply.after that click on debug button then it will ask you to select the device.
If everything else is tested, try with another USB cable.
On Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default. To make it visible, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options at the bottom.
Fruthermore on some devices you will be asked to accept an RSA key, which allows debugging through your computer. This ensures that other adb commands cannot be executed unless you're able to unlock your device.
Detailed information can be found here:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html It is the overview about adb commands (which is used to send data to your device) and it starts with the steps how to bring your phone to debug-mode.
I wish to add to Danation's answer with the following.
If you have installed KIES, and you've tried following instructions a couple of times (for the android SDK package) without success, here's what worked for me:
As a precaution, disconnect the device, and press 'Revoke USB Debugging authorizations'.
Now, go to kies, and reinstall the device driver as seen on the image below.
Connect the device.
For me, it was a routine, it usually works when installing kies, but I was stuck on this today for a little while, and I hope i can help others with my solution as well..

Android: Debugging Android Applications on a Handset

I am trying debug android aplication on real phone (HTC Desire).
I enabled USB debugging on my Android Device.
Then i clicked on debug configuration,set Deployment Target Selection Mode to Manual and i clicked on debug but in Android Device Choiser i can't see my phone.
What can i do please?
I assume you are using eclipse as your IDE. I have to say that I use IDEA, So my experience with debugging could be different.
These are the steps that I have to do:
1- Enable USB Debugging. ( You have already enabled it).
2- Download HTC Sync software for my Computer (MacBook).
3- Close already open emulator and connect the device to my computer.
4- Start debugging session.
I did not get a device chooser dialog also. But to my surprise the phone was chosen over the emulator.I do not know how much you can get from my personal experience, but its worth a try.
You need to install drivers for the phone on the host machine. You can probably get the driver from HTC.
You may have to install the drivers for that device on your PC for the debugger to be able to see it. Also set the option in Android to allow install of non market applications. I almost forgot that your project also needs android:debuggable="true". See the link:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html
That varies depending your operative system.
On Mac you should be set to go.
On windows you may have to download USB drivers.
On Linux you may have to change a configuration file.

OS X 10.6.6 and "adb devices" fails to list android devices

adb devices was working fine last year, but after upgrades and new software installs,
adb devices no longer recognizes USB attached Android devices.
Here is what I have tried:
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb usb
error: Device not found
If you have installed EasyTether on OS X, the EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext can prevent adb from communicating with your mobile device.
If you use Easy Tether, BEFORE you plug in your phone run:
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
(or unplug/plug your phone in after)
If you are done debugging and want to use EasyTether again, either restart or:
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
If you want to remove the EasyTether kext so it never hassels you again:
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext

Having just connected a brand new Motorola Atrix 2 to my Mac running 10.6.8, I had to pull down the menu from the top of the screen, tap on "USB Connection", and change it from "Motorola Phone Portal" to "Charge Only" before it would show up in my list of devices from adb. Hope this helps!
Following the google bug submission... I set usb mode to Charge Only, and it detected the phone immediately. Pretty silly.
Another alternative: on modern Apple iMac's, the USB port closest to the outside edge of the machine never works with ADB, whereas all others work fine. I've seen this on two different iMacs, possibly those are USB 1.0 ports (or something equally stupid) - or it's a general manufacturing defect.
Plugging USB cables (new, old, high quality or cheap) into all other USB ports works fine, but plugging into that one fails ADB
NB: plugging into that port works for file-transfer, etc - it's only ADB that breaks.
If none of the above works for you just as it didn't for me, just try using a different cable. The cable I was using was my friend's cable but it was only meant to charge over USB, not to pass data over USB. I don't know how to tell the difference between micro USB cables that do or don't support data over USB but it's worth a try! Good luck!
I too am having this problem. However, it isn't just a problem with ADB, it's a problem with android devices in general on Mac OSX 10.6.6 Snow Leopard. Devices that used to work in 10.6.4 will no longer even mount the device as a USB drive. Googling to see if I can find the answers.
Change the USB connection type to 'Charge Only'. That was the only change I made it showed up on my device list. Weird.;)
I have seen another report of this bug. I have not been able to reproduce it myself yet.
The bug is:
MacOS X 10.6.6 [on some hardware] breaks adb [for some phones].
If anyone is able to reproduce the bug, feel free to add details of the exact hardware, build numbers and so on. I've asked the person who can reproduce the bug, to report it to google using the form at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/entry
When he does that, I will add the bug report URL here, and people can add their hw/sw details to the bug report.
In the meantime, to be safe, I would recommend Apple users should NOT accept the snow leopard upgrade to 10.6.6, which was pushed on Jan 6 2011 (so it may already be too late for most).

I was having the same issue and tried connecting as charge only, but that didn't solve the problem, then unchecked the "Unknown sources" option to allow installation of non-market applications, tried it again and it recognized the device. I'm running android 2.2.3.
The bug report to Google is
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15583
If you have encountered this bug (upgrade to MacOS 10.6.6 and adb no longer sees some phones on USB) please add a comment with any useful relevant info (like your exact hardware type).
I just ran into this problem using my HTC Inspire (Android 2.3.3) and Mac OS 10.6.8. The phone did not enter USB debugging mode when I connected it to my USB hub, but it did start USB debugging mode when I connected it directly to my MacBook Pro.
... and then, of course, it showed up in the list of devices attached.
The EasyTether fix worked for me, although first I had to load the kext file, then unload it. My Droidx popped up right away!
By the way, I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBookPro, so those who are having trouble with adb and connecting devices should check any USB applications, like EasyTether, for conflicts. Also be sure to follow all the above rules for
1. Application debugging (Settings->Applications->Development)
USB debugging: ON
2. USB connection (on notification bar).
Choose USB Mass Storage (altho Charge Only also works with my droidx and MacBookPro)
3. Unknown Sources (Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources = ON)
I have the same problem, I solved using an alternate install method.
First I put an sd card in my device.
Then I use a File Manager to transfer the .apk to the device, and I install it from the device
You can see a tutorial in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UOAw124y1s
I had this problem today with my HTC mytouch phone and OS 10.6.8. At the same time, the phone reported a damaged SD card. The solution was to remove the Micro SD card and erase/format it using disk utility as FAT 32. The name I gave the SD card volume appeared in the Finder when I tried connecting again (charge only). For some reason, Android reported the card as damaged but could not format it. I used a Micro SD USB adapter. My Macbook didn't see the card until I carefully slid it out and back into the adapter slot. This is a known problem with HTC android phones.
The last time I updated my tablet, it turned off "allow USB debugging", and I spent a half hour or so spinning my wheels. Double check that that is turned on in settings.
This thread is old but perhaps my answer will help somebody. Using a Motorola MB865 with OSX, ADB would recognize my phone only after I performed a factory reset.
I got the idea from this thread.
This was after I tried all the other tricks listed in other threads:
adb kill-server followed by adb start-server
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled
Make sure vendor USB ID listed in adb_usb.ini
Switching USB cables. For what it's worth, I did have to switch cables in order for the Mac to see the device. But this had no effect on ADB.
In the end, the factory reset did the trick.
in my case what worked:
disconnect device
exit android studio
run 'Activity Monitor' and kill adb
start android
studio reconnect device
For some devices running Android 4.4.2, you must enable tethering. You can do this in "Tethering and Mobile hotspot" and then check "USB tethering".
Try restarting the Mac in "Safe Mode". It worked for me (macos X.9.5)
Make sure that USB Debugging is enabled in Settings -> Application -> Developemnt, and also that the selected USB method is PTP and not MTP (not supported in OSX).
After connecting the device and enabling the USB debugging please go to the path of adb, which is now inside the android-sdk-->platform-tools and type the following command ./adb devices. I think this will list the devices connected.
