I already set the manifest to debug, enabled the decide to development and upgraded the usb driver and it still doesn't show the devices on the "Android Device Chooser" window

I tried obvious solutions and then non-obvious and obvious again
I applied everything I researched, what was missing was running eclipse as Administrator on windows 7
apparently it requires some rights on host os to perform usb debugging
good luck for the next searching this

Have you enabled ADB?
Settings -> Developer Options -> Android debugging
?
Unless ADB is enabled Eclipse wont be able to talk with the device.

I had a similar problem in Android Studio 0.2.2 (IntelliJ). On Windows 7 my Nexus 7 did not appear in device chooser although it was fine on my Mac. I could also browse my Nexus 7 in Windows Explorer.
In the end I needed to install the Asus USB drivers for the Nexus 7 (link):
After that ADB detected my Nexus and everything worked as expected.
