I have a question first: Do I have to root my Samsung Galaxy E5? I just bought it yesterday because I want to pursue my career in Android App Development, since my laptop is slow to handle AVD.
Next, I have spent like 3 hours for searching how to make my phone to be the emulator in my projects in Eclipse. I used to do this last year, but back then, my old phone was already rooted.
What have I tried:
Installed Android Studio and Eclipse (I though Android Studio would be faster so I installed it, I realize I should stick with Eclipse).
Installed SDK.
Installed Google Driver.
Windows 8.1 automatically installed the driver for my phone, that why when I plug it in my laptop, the CARD and Phone Memory Storage pops up!
I tried installing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LbAq6d2Du0U
I discovered my path to SDK, C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools and then performed the command: adb devices it listed no device.
That's all. When I plug in my phone, there's no other options, just Media and Camera something. So, do I have to root it? I'm afraid that the warrant might be voided by rooting the phone.
You should install Samsung Drivers.
