I ve had this problem many times before with my Galaxy Nexus  Despite having the Android SDK s USB drivers installed  it did not seem to suffice   I ve always solved this by installing a program called PdaNet  While I don t know exactly what it is used for and where it gets its drivers - it comes with the drivers that has always fixed the problem for me  You can uninstall the program itself once it has finished

This is an old question but here is my solution to the exact problem if you want to use the USB driver you got from the SDK manager  seeing that the documentation  MeowMeow linked is not too current    Open  Device Manager  on Windows Find your device  mine was listed under Android Device   Android ADB Interface  I have an unbranded android device  yours might be different  Right click on your device and select  Update Driver Software  Select  Browse my computer for driver software  Select  Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer  There will be a  Have Disk  button below your available Drivers  Click on it  On the  Install from disk  Dialog  browse to your path to sdk extras google usb driver folder  There should be a file named  android winusb inf   select it and click  Open  and select  Ok  You should now have a new Android ADB Interface Model  by Google inc  Click  Next  and agree to everything till you are done     Simple   no need for extra software  but you will need to have installed the USB driver from the SDK manager  like the guy who asked the question  before following these steps   As a side note  I am running win 8  the steps might differ for you

For about 3 weeks  I faced the same problem   After googling and trying and asking without solutions  I found that there was an Unknown Device called Android Composite ADB Interface in the Device Manager   I had a look on this and finally resolved it by downloading the ADB Driver from here   Maybe you need to troubleshoot your PC but the installer will tell you this

Though the answer is accepted  but I m going to answer it anyway       From the points perspective  it might seem that it s a lot of work  But   it s very simple  And Up un till now it has worked on all the devices   I have tried with    At first download the universal ADB driver  Then follow the process below    Install the Universal ADB driver  Then go to the control panel  Select Device and Printers  Then find your device and right click on it  Probably you will see a yellow exclamation mark  Which means the device doesn t have the correct driver installed  Next  select the properties of the device  Then-   Select hardware tab  and again select properties   Then under general tab select Change Settings  Then under the Driver tab  select update driver   Then select Browse my computer for driver software   Then select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer  Here you will see the list of devices  Select Android devices  Which will show you all the available drivers  Under the model section  you can see a lot of drivers available  You can select your preferred one  Most of the cases the generic ANDROID ADB INTERFACE will do the trick  When you try to install it  it might give you a warning but go ahead and install the driver  And it s done     Then re-run your app from the android studio  And it will show your device under Choose Device  Cheers

Have you installed drivers for the phone  http   developer android com sdk win-usb html  It appears that the the sdk does not  install  the USB drivers  You can select that usb drivers in the sdk to see the file location  open that up  and right click to install the driver yourself    File -  Settings -  Android SDK -  SDK Tools -  Google USB Driver -  Right click -  Install   Ensure that Google USB driver is checked     If above doesn t work   Abir Hasan appears to have another method in answers below

I had the same issue and couldn t get my Nexus 6P to show up as an available device until I changed the connection type from  Charging  to  Photo Transfer PTP   and installed the Google USB driver while in PTP mode  Installing the driver prior to that while in Charging mode yielded no results

In my case  android studio selectively doesnt recognize my device for projects with COMPILE AND TARGET SDKVERSION 29 under the app level build gradle    I fixed this either by downloading  sources for android 29  which comes up after clicking the  show package details  under the sdk manager tab  or by reducing the compile and targetsdkversions to 28

That worked for my TP-Link Neffos C5   The first step in configuring a Windows based development system to connect to an Android device using ADB is to install the appropriate USB drivers on the system  In the case of some devices  the Google USB Driver must be installed  a full listing of devices supported by the Google USB driver can be found online at http   developer android com sdk win-usb html   To install this driver  perform the following steps   Launch Android Studio and open the Android SDK Manager  either by selected Configure - gt  SDK Manager from the Welcome screen  or using the Tools - gt  Android - gt  SDK Manager menu option when working on an existing project  Scroll down to the Extras section and check the status of the Google USB Driver package to make sure that it is listed as Installed  If the driver is not installed  select it and click on the Install packages button to initiate the installation  Once installation is complete  close the Android SDK Manager    Complete instructions on http   www techotopia com index php Testing Android Studio Apps on a Physical Android Device  check  quot Windows ADB Configuration quot  section   I basically updated a lot of stuff and then it worked in both Android Studio and Eclipse
