I'm trying to connect my device to android studio but it doesn't detect it, no matter what I try. My device is an Aquaris E5 and is running android 4.4.4. I want to use it as test device for my apps. I'm on a mac computer running os x 10.9.4 and it seems like it's a device problem, because I've tried with another device (jiayu jy-G4) running android 4.2.1 and works just fine. I've enabled usb depuration in the developer menu and according to google this is all I need to do. My android studio is up to date and I've downloaded all the skd's, plugins, etc... So I'm a bit confused, and also new on this, so I don't know what else to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

To see some devices ( especially not that well know vendors ) you need to add the vendor-id in .android/adb_usb.ini Under linux you can use:
lsusb
to get the vendor id. then you have do to:
adb kill-server
to see the device.

Enable debugging over USB.
Open the Developer options in the system Settings. 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.
If already have this option on,
Try this:
1) Install ADB Driver Installer and make sure your device appears in this software screen. http://adbdriver.com/
2) Go to Eclipse
3) Go to Windows / Open Perspective / DDMS
4) In the screen that appears, to the left of the tab where it says "Threads" there is a small triangle up-side-down "View Menu"
5) Select "reset adb"
6) Accept in your phone the message of authorization
