Cannot detect Sony Xperia in Eclipse

Question

I am totally new at testing apps on devices, especially the Sony Xperia. I am testing apps using the Android emulator, but I have now a Sony Xperia. First I have connected

Answer 1

Yes, eclipse needs drivers. You need to install drivers for the phone, and then restart eclipse. You then need to add the xperia through the device manager in eclipse.

Are you running windows??

Answer 2

Steps to debug using Sony Xperia : Settings > Xperia > USB Connectivity > USB connection mode and select Mass storage mode (MSC). The USB cable must be unplugged to change this option. By default, Media transfer mode (MTP) was selected. Untick "Install software"

Answer 3

Don't forget to enable usb debugging in the phone setting.

Answer 6

For me, it works when combining Damir's & Michell Bak's answers.

First need to change device form MTP mode to MSC mode as Damir mentioned, then download and install driver to your PC as Michell Bak mentioned.

Most new Sony device default setting USB connection mode to MTP and the setting location is different from other android devices. Besides, driver can not install automatically and need to download form official site.
