Solution

  • You need to install USB drivers for the device before it can appear in Android Studio. To confirm that the reasons missing drivers, open device manager You would find an entry that requires drivers with a yellow alert/warning icon, something similar to the image below but not exactly this.

    Device manager

    Now Install the appropriate USB/ADB driver for the device. Once driver is installed you can view the device in Android studio.

    You may either download the drivers from this link or Install HiSuite to get the drivers installed.
