Android Studio doesn't see device

Question

The AVD Manager in Android Studio doesn\'t show my device but adb devices does show it. Am I missing something obvious here?

Answer 1

I plugged my phone in and it was detected fine (no need for device manager or anything like that).. but Android Studio wasn't seeing it.

I found it takes two requirements to be met

- PTP (not MTP)
- USB Debugging mode on

For PTP , go to settings..storage..usb connection..PTP (For MTP/PTP , maybe on my nexus it's there, but on my doogee I see it under 'developer options' .. then under networking , above input, it says "select usb configuration")

For USB debugging, settings..about..tap build about 7 times, then a new option appears for usb debugging and you can turn it on.

Added this is also relevant for USB debugging or MTP/PTP being moved https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/213059/where-is-the-mtp-and-ptp-option-in-android-9
