Android Studio doesn't see device

Question

The AVD Manager in Android Studio doesn\'t show my device but adb devices does show it. Am I missing something obvious here?

Answer 1

There are many reasons why Android Studio doesn't see mobile phone.

One of them is a problem with ADB Interface driver. You can check it in your Device Manager:

If you don't have ADB Interface driver, then use this guide to install it for Intel chipset: Installing the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) USB Driver on a Windows Computer.

If you have other, but not Intel, then try to search for the driver on manufacture's web-site.

For Xiaomi phones, turn off MIUI optimization in the very bottom of Developers mode menu.
