Android device is not connected to USB for debugging (Android studio)

I am trying to debug my application using a real device instead on the emulator. When I try to connect, it gives me the message:

USB device not found

I tried to unplug and plug it again, but it did not work. And I have also enabled USB debugging and unknown sources options in my device.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Solution

  • If you are on windows, many times it will not recognize the device fully and because of driver issues, the device won't show up.

    • go to settings
    • control panel
    • hardware and sound
    • device manager

    And look for any devices showing an error. Many androids will show as an unknown USB device. Select that device and try to update the drivers for it.
