Android SDK not recognizing debug-able device.
- by kal.zekdor
I'm new to Android development, and am attempting to run a test application on my actual device. I followed the instructions at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html (and related links), but the Android Debug Bridge (adb) doesn't recognize my connected device.
Some quick background info, I'm running WinXP, developing with Eclipse, with a Motorola Droid running Android 2.1 as my physical device.
An overview of the steps I've taken:
Installed the Android SDK, downloading all necessary packages.
Enabled USB Debugging on my device.
Connected Device via USB, installing the driver from the SDK folder.
I'll stop here (though I continued to setup my application to be debug-able in Eclipse), because I at this point I noticed a problem.
Running "sdk\tools\adb devices" at this point (at least, by my understanding), should list my device as connected. However, running this yields only:
List of devices attached
My device recognizes that it's connected to a computer in debug mode, and my computer recognizes the device. However, I can't seem to get the sdk to recognize it. I'll leave out the steps I used to setup Eclipse for debugging on a device, as it doesn't seem relevant to the problem. I'll include them if requested.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate some assistance. Thanks in advance for your time.
