Why Is Eclipse's Android Device Chooser Not Showing My Android Device

Why is Eclipse's Android Device Chooser not showing my Android device?

I just had the same issue with the Motorola Droid. I had 3 devices and only 1 was detected in the ADB. The one that worked showed up in device manager as "android adb composite interface" and the 2 that did not work showed up as "android adb interface". In Windows 7 I did the following.

  1. Right Click Computer then Manage
  2. Expand Android phone at the top of the list
  3. Right click Android ADB Interface then Update Driver Software
  4. Browse my computer for driver software
  5. Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
  6. Choose USB Composite Device then next

If USB Composite Device doesn't show up then try browsing to the usb_driver folder in your android sdk directory for step 5 then try step 5 and 6 again.

Note : If Android does not appear at the top of this list as described in #2 and/or you find a device ADB with no drivers then you probably need to install the device driver, which in my case (HTC Glacier) was located right on my phone.

Android Device Chooser -- device not showing up

I think this was because the option for USB debugging wasn't checked on the device

Android device does not show up in Android Device Chooser, but is listed in adb

Eerily similar to what I just spent the last hour figuring out. OS X, Nexus 5, shows up in adb devices, tried everything under the sun.

In my case, it turned out that even though the device wasn't listed, I was able to press the OK button and it launched just fine. (seen below)

OK even though no device is listed

I'm not sure if it also helped, but before I stumbled upon that solution, I edited my Launch config options to change from "Always prompt to pick device" to "Launch on all compatible devices/AVS'S" and selected the "Active Devices" options. I ran that and it worked! I expected the device to start showing up in the above menu afterwards, but it didn't. Then I realized it didn't matter and I could hit OK and it would build. Go figure.

May be your device's API level is less than what your application needs

There is a third party software named "moborobo" : http://www.moborobo.com/

You can install this there after you didn't need any driver for any perticular mobile device...it will automatically gets detected and you can choose it from the dialogue box. Hope this will help.
