Android Studio on Windows - Following successful Gradle sync and build, I am unable to launch my application on my (rooted) Android Galaxy S3 and debug via USB. I have USB Debugging enabled on my device.
I am able to:
- provision and debug via the debug interface on the emulator
see my USB device in the Android DDMS window:
manually provision via adb, then connect via the debugger, using the same commands that come out of the debug window in Android Studio:
Cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\platform-tools"
adb -d shell
su
pm uninstall com.company.myapplication
ls -all /data/app | grep myapplication
pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.company.myapplication"
am start -n "com.company.myapplication/com.company.myapplication.MapsActivity" -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER
Following manual provisioning (see above), I can attach to the running process on my device, and debug (including hitting breakpoints):
Select my device from the "Choose Device" window when attempting to initiate USB debugging:
... following which I get the following output (and no activity on the Android device UI):
Waiting for device.
Target device: samsung-sgh_t999-6XXXXXX2
Uploading file

Installing com.company.myapplication
DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.company.myapplication"`
Launching application: com.company.myapplication/com.company.myapplication.MapsActivity.
DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: am start -D -n "com.company.myapplication/com.company.myapplication.MapsActivity" -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER
Waiting for process: com.company.myapplication
In the case above, after checking files using the adb shell, I have noticed that the pm install
command works -- i.e. there's an updated file (based on timestamp) in location /data/local/tmp/com.company.myapplication
. However, the am start
doesn't work, as the .apk file under
I have tried:-
- Restarting the computer
- Restarting the Android device
- Reinstalling Android Studio
- Run app (rather than Debug app): same result, no app installation on Android device
- Creating a new test application to see whether it's a problem with Gradle or Manifest configuration problems in my original application.
- Cleaning the project
- Connecting as both a
Media device (MTP)
, and also asCamera (PTP)
- Enabling mock locations (
Settings -> Developer options -> Allow mock locations
) Adding
android:debuggable="true"
to the Android Manifest XML (<appRoot>\MyApplication\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml
), despite IDE suggestion to the contrary:Ensuring ADB Integration is enabled:
Toggling the ADB connection on the phone (
Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging check/uncheck/recheck, reconnect
)- Updating to the latest Samsung drivers for the S3 - downloaded, refreshed in Windows Device Manager:
- Restarting the ADB Server, including as root, then re-connecting (and subsequently re-attempting debugging from Android Studio over USB):

Versions:-
- I had Android Studio v0.8.2, but as part of my testing efforts have since downgraded to 0.8.1, which also doesn't work (same problem).
- Cell phone is SGH-T999, Android version 4.1.2
OS is Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
What have I omitted? What else should I try?
