Unable to connect debugger to Bean Galaxy Nexus jelly

Question

We have Google IO's Jelly Bean Galaxy Nexus and all the latest updates for the Android SDK are installed, but we cannot use USB debugging on the Intellij IDEA device.

We set up our project for compilation using the 4.1 SDK, etc. bad luck. Does anyone know how to get USB debugging working on the new Bean Galaxy Nexus hardware?

(edit) This runs with Mac OS X 10.7.4 - so theoretically, drivers shouldn't be a problem?

Answer 1

Oddly enough, opening the Android SDK manager and checking all the relevant ones (it was), and then restarting IDEA fixed this. Now I can connect to the Galaxy Nexus.

Answer 2

The latest android seems to be hiding the developer's menu in the settings, here is the game you have to play to get it back:

• Settings-> About Phone
• scroll down until you see the build number
• click on the build number 7 times

You are now a developer. Return to the main settings menu and the developer menu will appear again

Answer 3

I solved this problem on my Nexus 7 (no problem with my Galaxy Nexus) by changing the USB connection from MTP to PTP.

Go to Settings> Storage> Corners menu> Connect to a USB computer> select "PTP".

I hope this solves your problem.

Answer 4

I run Mac OS 10.8 and was able to install ADB and a debugger that works with Nexus 7 after installing the Google Filetransfer application:

Answer 5

I'm having trouble getting IntelliJ to recognize my 7 connection since I established it. I was about to return to windows 7 until I found a @ eyal-lezmy suggestion. Tried this and everything works fine. Keep in mind that I tried to get the latest drivers for the laptop, and nothing would have worked out of the Android SDK until I changed the connection type from mtp to ptp. Also windows discovered a device that would not be IntteliJ.
