Question

everyone, I would like to connect my galaxy nexus to the eclipse, which allows me to use the real device for debugging my program, however, my galaxy nexus does not appear even I have clicked on the usb debugging option in the developer mode. Can anyone give a hand to me, thank you!

Answer 1

Which operating system are you using?

If on Windows:

• Have you installed the ADB and FastBoot? Does your device show up if you do adb devices?
• If not, follow the instructions here or here.
• Reconnection your device, open a console window and type: adb devices. If your device is listed in the output, Eclipse will also pick it up.
• For Samsung provided firmware and drivers, check here.

If on Linux:

• Follow this tutorial. You don’t necessarily have to unlock the bootloader. As long as your device shows up in adb devices after adding the device identification lines in udev, followed by a udev restart with sudo service udev restart, all should be good.

Here is another tutorial that claims to install ADB automatically on both Windows, Linux and Mac. I haven’t tried it myself. So it might be a good idea to peep inside the Knives-&-Forks scripts before executing them.
