Before asking my question, I have looked through a few threads that share the same problem as me and have tried all the given solution with no success. I am from Malaysia. I cannot get my device to be detected to test my app on my phone. I have checked both the "Unknown sources" and "USB debugging" settings in my phone. I am using eclipse. But if I create a random virtual device, my app is able to run there.

Okay so I am using a Motorola Atrix 2. And I'm using Windows 8 Pro 64 bit

I have downloaded android SDK bundle from here : http://www.motorola.com/sites/motodev/us-en/motodev_lp.html

I have also tried downloading the latest driver with no success. I have also added this line in the manifest android:debuggable="true" I have tried both as a mass storage device and a media transferring device. I would appreciate any help a lot because as of now, I cannot progress further into developing an android app and that saddens me. :( I have attached a picture of which my android phone should be detected in the window, but as you can see, none. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BJu1XSgCYAEGCUd.jpg:large

  • I guess you tried to restart eclipse already? (with device connected to PC) – Bigflow May 08 '13 at 09:11
  • I had a similar problem with an htc phone and i resolved it by adding some htc brand id to a file on the sdk or something like that maybe you should look into that – Francois Morier-Genoud May 08 '13 at 09:47
  • yea, I came across things like that too while hunting for a solution, but I failed to find a proper guide to do that unfortunately.. – Izwan Harris May 08 '13 at 09:53

go to /your-android-sdk-directory/platform-tools using command prompt.

type 

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices

n see whether ur device is detected now or not...

Note: if you're using a Linux machine then put ./ before adb

  • How do you do that? I am using Win 8 Pro 64 bit. I mean you start command prompt(admin) and just type that? I did that and it says cannot find specified directory – Izwan Harris May 08 '13 at 09:36
  • when u've opened the command prompt navigate to the directory where you've installed/extracted the android-sdk.. then type cd platform-tools and then type the above 3 lines – d3m0li5h3r May 08 '13 at 09:47
  • erm, where do you find the platform-tools directory? typing "cd platform-tools" alone seem to result in "The system cannot find the specified path" – Izwan Harris May 08 '13 at 10:01
  • I have installed android-sdk in C:/Program Files/Android/android-sdk folder. so I will go to this folder by typing `cd "C:/Program Files/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools/"`. Now replace the text within "" with the path where you've installed android-sdk and do the rest – d3m0li5h3r May 08 '13 at 10:22

Install proper drivers for your adb devices, from Android-SDK archive or Motorola site.

If you are on Windows machine, go to the device manager find your device, and select folder with drivers for it.

  • Maybe to add, Install everything with admin rights (right-click, run as admin) – Bigflow May 08 '13 at 09:15
  • What are the differences between drivers for adb and drivers for phone? There was only 1 driver that was given to me and I updated that via device manager, oh and I'm using Win 8 Pro 64 bit – Izwan Harris May 08 '13 at 09:22
  • Run your `SDK manager` and download `Google USB driver` from `Extras` – Laser May 08 '13 at 09:27

Check that the android:minSdkVersion is lower or equal to the Version running on the phone. If it is higher it wont show on "Android Device Chooser"

Install and run programs/drivers with admin rights.

Have you installed Motorola Device Manager?

When debugging Samsung and HTC devices I got it to work by installing that kind of software (for syncing the devices to the computer).

Download from the following: ABD Universal Driver

and install it. Make sure you have your device plugged in before installing and make sure you are on USB debug mode on the phone settings.
