I followed the directions here How to test android apps in a real device with Android Studio? to test an app on a real android device, but it explains how to do so in Windows but not a MAC. How can I test an app on a real android device using an Android Studio that's installed on MAC?
Testing on MAC is more easier than Windows because if you have android device which is from well-known company, you already have USB driver installed on MAC.
Follow these steps to test Android device on MAC.
Open Android Studio
Connect Android device via USB
Now you should able to see your device just like in below screenshot
If not try "Troubleshoot device connection" menu. see screenshot.
You are now good to go with running your app first time on MAC :)
After trying Troubleshoot device connection, if you see a message like this:
- Device is waiting for you to grant permission for USB debugging
Go to Settings -> Developer options and Switch off and On again and it should show the message to allow connection.
I have created an android app. When I connect my Nokia XL (having android OS) with USB debugging enabled, my eclipse can't detect it, and runs the app on the emulator whereas I want it to be running on my cell phone. On the other hand, it works perfectly when any other android cell phone is connected.
Any help will be life saving for me. Thanks!
In windows you have to install the driver first. Please see here for more details.
Follow this steps, If your operating system is Windows.
Download ADB Driver Installer from adbdriver.com/downloads/ and unzip the package. Make sure you have enabled the developer options and USB debugging in your mobile, and connect to computer. Then, run ADBDriverInstaller.exe from the extracted folder. Select the device and click on Install. It worked perfectly for me. My device was then recognized. Hope it helps others with same problem.
Here is the problem. I want to run my Android Studio apps on my device (Samsung Galaxy Ace 2). But nothing works for me. Tell me what I've missed:
1) USB debugging is on
2) ADB driver is installed (in device manager i can see Android Composite ADB Interface)
3) ADB device list is still clear, even if i reset server(adb kill-server, adb start-server, adb devices - list of devices is clear)
4) in google usb driver directory, in android_winusb.inf file I added my device identificators
5) Android device manager still cannot connect to my device, showing this error when I reset it: "adb connection error an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"
So I will be glad to hear any advices. Hope you'll help me
Did you try to configure the "Media Mode" in "Camera (PTP)" instead of "Media device (MTP)"? This is sometimes solving the issue. Its in the USB Computer Connection options of your Android device, you should see an "authorize" dialog then.
Update 04/2017: looks like it has been fixed in Android 7.1.2
I have done numerous ways of handling that issue. Finally it has worked! I am using LG Optimus II, but I believe the following steps are generic to other Android devices as well.
Step 1:
Make sure your device is enabled for development. If yes, go to Step 2, otherwise go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times which is magic number :-).
Now Developer Options is available in the Settings.
Step 2:
Before you plug your device to PC, Go to Settings > Developer Options and select USB Connection method.
Step 3:
Plug the phone to the PC, you are given options for the USB Connection method, and please select Internet connection. Make sure you have connected to the Internet. By the way, I have changed MTP to PTP, it did not work for me. Therefore, I tried Internet connection mode, then it worked.
Step 4:
Run the app in the Android Studio, it will ask you to authorize the device for development, and select YES!.
Step 5:
Run the application via Android Studio and choose the device, not emulator, and BINGO! Welcome to Android development board.
Try swapping the USB port the cable is plugged into.
Sounds crazy but after 20 minutes of debugging this worked for me.
I also tried above solutions but got no luck. So here's what I did:
Download and install PdaNet+ to fix connection issues between my computer and android device
Enable USB debugging on my android device
Unplug the phone and plug it again after it's installed
Run my app and voila! My android device is now recognized by Android Studio
Although my computer could recognise my phone, I had to install the official drivers from the Samsung developer site to get adb/Android Studio to recognise it:
Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows
Click Revoke USB debugging authorization in Developer option and try it again.
Solution for those working with Huawei phones - You will get this error when ADB interface is not installed. Check if you have installed Huawei HiSuite. USB driver gets installed when you install HiSuite (I suppose this is true for most of the new phones that come with a Sync Software). If the ADB interface is installed on your computer you should see 'Android Composite ADB Interface' under Android Phone in your Device Manager as shown in this picture.
If you have Mi Device than you need to enable this two option after enabling Developer Mode.
USB Debugging (Enable = True)
Install via USB (Enable = True)
See this screenshot.
LG Optimus Zone 2 pp415 d\n connect in mtp, but does work in internet connection mode. Lost lots of time messing with it. There's no doc for this, but I'd suggest trying all 4 of the connection options. Only 1 that works for me is Internet Connection->Ethernet, then win 8 auto-detects a driver and installs it. In MTP mode despite all drivers being registered with device manager, adb doesn't pick it up.
I had the same problem. So here is what i did
reinstalled the device driver
changed the USB computer connection from MTP to Mass storage(UMS)
And it worked.
For me, I tried the above. Turns out my USB cable was bad. I changed the cable and then it worked.
I am sorry that i bothered you all. The problem was my device is cloned in different places in device manager. It was gone when I tried to update driver for my phone in "Other devices" list, and before i have been updating it in wrong sections. Thank you all.
In my case it was due to already running and hanged adb.exe on another user under my PC. I had two users on my PC, the second user had the adb.exe process hanged even when I tried to end the process. It worked with me after (End Process Tree) from the Task Manager.
Hope this will help someone with multiple users :)

In addition to the above configurations, I had to set deployment target to "Open Select Deployment Target Dialog", run once (choosing my device from the options listed), and from then on Android Studio was able to see my device even after changing the deployment setting back to "USB Device". My SWAG is that since Android Studio uses its own internal cache to find your device, it has to be initialized first.
I was on Samsung S8 and had same problem too. After I installed Samsung Kies, issues was resolved for me, as I believe it had updated the correct driver required for my Samsung S8.
On Windows 7 , the only thing that worked for me is this. Go to Device Manager -> Under Android Phone -> Right Click and select 'enable'
i had to install android studio in 2 machines and ive solved this problem intalling samnsung kies, i use 3 diferents samnsung devices (plus some other of my family and friends) and i dont have to strugle with the drivers, it works for me and i recomend it. hope it helps
For me, this ended up being because I had the wrong SDK level installed (new version of Android Studio installed the SDK for Android 10, whereas I have a device that runs only Android 8.1). While Android Studio would "recognize" the device and display a string in the "devices" menu instead of just saying that no device was connected, installing the right SDK level for my device ended up changing the string to something recognizable (my device's model name) and allowed me to actually run my app over ADB.
I had a big problem with my Samsung S10 Plus as it was not detecded by Android Studio on my Macbook even if I did all what is required to be detected, that is to say:
Enable developer mode (7 taps on Build version in Android settings)
Enable USB debugging
What I did is to start "Android File Transfer" on my Macbook and the magic happened. A popup appeared on my device asking if I want to authorize an USB access to it. I clicked "Yes, always" and now Android Studio can detect my device on my Mac :)
Change the connection method Build-In CD ROM it works for me
On HTC mini one 2, besides enabling the Developer Options, the following worked for me:
Go to More in Wireless & Networks
Mobile Network Sharing
In USB network setting
Select Internet pass-through
I am trying to test an Android application through the Eclipse plugin on a real device. It is a Samsung Infuse 4G. I believe I have followed all steps on the Android page for testing on devices.
First of all, I cannot figure out what the Android OS version is because it does not show up in the settings. I can see that the firmware version is 2.2.1, so I assume I am running that version of Android OS as well.
Next, when I connect the device to my computer (running Vista, 64 bit), I get prompted with three options: Kies (firmware update), Media player, and Mass storage. When I look on the Internet, I see that I am supposed to select "Charge only", but this does not appear in the options with which I am prompted. I have already set USB Debugging to true through Settings > Applications > Development.
Third, I have installed the correct driver from the Samsung site based on my model number (SGH-I997), yet when I do adb devices from my platform-tools directory (I have tried adb kill-server and adb start-server), I still do not get my device listed.
I am not very advanced in terms of working with Android and have been banging my head against the wall on how to solve this problem, so any and all help guiding me through this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Try installing this PC Suite ...Samsung Kies http://www.samsung.com/in/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP this would help you to get the exact driver for the device and don't forget to check USB Debugging option in settings.
You also need to mark "Allow Mock Locations "in Development Options in Applications settings of your phone.
Also try enabling ,use as mass storage after connecting your device.
You can check if your device is detected in device tab of DDMS in Eclipse.
Even trying all such things ,it does not work try connecting your device 2 or 3 times ,restarting eclipse and enabling USB Debugging and mock locations again
I've got a Disgo 8100 tablet which I would like to test an app on but I'm having problems doing anything with it. I'm new to Android development but I've got 2 phones setup and connected and working with Eclipse. The Disgo is running 2.3.3 but there is no USB debugging option under Settings -> Applications and when I connect the device to the USB all I get is a drive mounted and no device listed in adb. Device manager also shows a disk rather than a device so I can't update the driver.
What can I do to get this working?
If the device has an option to allow installation of non market applications, then you can select this.
Once that is done, creat an apk for your app in eclipse, then when the device is mounted
as a drive, just transfer the apk file to the device in a tmp folder.
Once you have done this, you need to locate the file on the device (using a file explorer such as astro), and run it.
This will install the app onto the device, although you wont be able to debug, you will be able to see if the app runs ok.
Hope this helps..
Firstly you need to look deepper in settings, may be USB debugging option on in App. section. For example on my Galaxy S2 ICS it's in Development section.
After it you should install drivers for your device
