How to connect the device to Eclipse?

Question

I am not able to resolve this simple issue.

I am trying to connect my device to Eclipse via USB cable.
On my PC, I have installed Eclipse and the Android SDK and running the program on the emulator is working fine.

I have downloaded and installed Samsung Kies on my PC. It shows my device if connected via USB to the PC.

But I dont know how to connect the device with the emulator.

Connect means, I want to run the Eclipse code on my device instead of emulator. I am using Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i. Please help me out to resolve this issue.

Comment is lack of formatting so i add an answer.

1. Check if your computer had your phone driver. I assume that your use Windows. Open Device Manager

   • At a command prompt, in the Start Search box, or in the Run box, type the following command: mmc devmgmt.msc

   • . Other ways : check link

   If you find your phone name or ADB Interface so you got driver. Try to restart DDMS or restart your Eclipse.

2. If you don't find your device or see something Other device with yellow question mark so try to install driver by browsing on your phone to Settings - Developer Options - Enable developer option - Enable USB debugging - Plug your phone to computer. Windows will ask you to install driver.

3, Update Google USB driver in Android SDK Manager (in Eclipse) or search Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i driver

4.Some weird case i got on some device.

• Nexus S: disable Developer option. Restart phone. Enable again. Windows ask to install driver or you will see it in Eclipse.
• HTC phone or Samsung : change Connectivity Option on phone to Charge only (Swipe status bar. Check notifications displayed). Some phone set it to some kind of Sync data so Windows can not recognize device.
