I'm using Linux Mint Sylvia on a pretty old laptop that do not support the emulators. Therefore I try to connect my Sony XA2 (pretty new with Oreo, 8.0)
I'm trying to detect my device but I seems to have some problem with Android Studio and the ADB-service.
In the log I get:
9:39 PM Unable to detect adb version, adb output: /home/fredrik/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb: 1: /home/fredrik/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
If I run the lsusb I can find the device:
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0fce:51f7 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
I tried to run the adb devices, but first I got this:
adb devices
The program 'adb' can be found in the following packages:
* adb
* android-tools-adb
Try: sudo apt install <selected package>
So I installed the adb with:
sudo apt install android-tools-adb
Then I could run the adb like:
adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
CQ3000KKV4 unauthorized
But still I got the error above in Android Studio.
Do you guys got any clue? Best regards Fredrik
Adb after installation seems to run correct.
Your device is listed as unauthorized so I guess you did not turn on developer tools on your device, or on your device you did not accept debuging with connected computer.
To turn on developer options on device:
In these options you should allow usb debuging if it’s not on by default.
After connecting usb cable to your device and conputer you should see prompt on your device asking for permissions to allow debuging. If you accept that you should be able to run adb tools, logcat etc on your connected device.
EDIT
Looking at the error you described in comments, it looks like it is error specific for 32-bit version systems. So I see there two possible solutions:
or more likely:
How to downgrade adb platform tools:
/home/fredrik/Android/sdk/)platform-toolsHope it will be your case. Please keep in mind that updates of Android Studio will probably restore that error again.
