Android: no running Device

Question

I want to run my Android Project iwrote with emulators on my Android Device. The Device is Connected on an USB-Port. When I start the "Android Device Chooser" nothing happens. No running device in the "Choose a running Android Device"-Table is displayed. I tried to reboot the system(PC and Smartphone) while connecting. I tried every USB mode. I tried another Device( G1 and HTC Desire). Unknown Source is always true. I tried another Eclipse-Version(64 and 32 bit), tried another SDK(64 and 32 bit) and reinstalled the android sdk. I still can't see any device. Everything worked fine on my old 32 bit system. Now i have to work with my 64 bit lenovo. (both windows 7) somebody got another idea? Thank you. Fabian

Answer 1

See this link for detailed info: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up

In short, you have to:

1. Mark your app as debuggable (in Manifest)
2. Allow USB debug on your device (Settings->Application)
3. And, if developing in Windows, download drivers.

Answer 2

Try command line "adb devices" to see if your phone is detected ok. Except limited number of phones supported by Android by default, manufacturer-supplied setup needs to be used to start usb mode. In my case, Vodafone 845, setup was contained in phone storage. So after phone was detected as normal usb storage, I located that utility and simply ran it. Then it started to be detected as android phone.
