I am trying to enable USB Debugging on Android so that I don’t need to use the emulator.
I did what all the posts all around the web say to do: I went to settings -> applications -> Developer -> USB debugging
It still does not turn on the notification sign that USB Debugging is enabled, and Eclipse does not recognize it, and uses the regular emulator.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
You haven’t specified what device you are using or what operating system you are using, so that could be helpful.
A few things to keep in mind:
1 Don’t mount as USB storage.
2 You also need to make sure to install the drivers for your phone so that the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) can properly communicate. After these are installed, try the command “adb devices” and you should see an item in your list of devices.
Update based on your comment: You can download Kies from Samsung, which include the drivers (as well as other things): http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
Or you can find unofficial driver-only packages, such as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
