Android Studio and external device

Question

Is it possible to emulate an application with an external device in Android studio? I have a device connected to the computer, but when the application starts, it does not recognize the device.

Note. The debug mode and mode for receiving unknown sources are activated.

Answer 1

Go into the startup configuration of your module and change this:

There you can choose the weather you want to run in the emulator, device, or if IntelliJ should ask you every time you start:

Answer 2

Try installing the driver from Google - http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html This helped me

Answer 3

I had the same problems, and I spent hours surfing the net to figure out what was wrong. In my case, the solution was that Android Studio has a default target interface of 16 and my Huawei runs Android 4.0.4, which is API 15.

Change it in AndroidManifest and it should work correctly.

android:targetSdkVersion="15" 

Answer 4

A driver for your portable device is installed. For this

• Right-click My Computer or This Computer
• Click on properties
• In the left pane, click Device Manager.
• Now find out if your device is connected correctly in the portable device section.
• If not, try installing the appropriate driver for your device according to your System.
