Android device is not showing up on VS Code/Android Studio

Question

VS code and Android Studio is recognizing my connected android device. My device is showing up on file explorer though. I have turned on USB debugging from settings too.

Below is the result of flutter doctor

Answer 1

After I set up Flutter and got flutter doctor running, I plugged in my Android phone. Neither flutter doctor or VS Code could detect it!

I already turned on Developer Options and USB debugging “File sharing”.

Developer Options > Select USB Configuration > Change it from “File Transfer” (default option) to Charging” The phone will ask if you want to always allow USB debugging from this device.

Say yes.

After that, VS Code was able to detect my Android phone, and I was able to run my app on it!
