After installing android studio, I installed ADB as well. However, for some reason ADB doesn't detect my device. To make a note I think I have done all the basic stuff I found online, i.e.:
Set device in Developer mode and enable USB debugging
Cable works well (Android file transfer automatically opens when I connect the device)
Installed Java JDK 8
I have done 'adb kill-server', restarted my device and Mac but still not working
I'm using Android Studio 2.2 and running Mac OS X Sierra on my Laptop, and the android phone is running Android 5.0.1 (on an LG Phone)
NB: I have tried the other solutions on stack overflow but thats not the problem.
ADB (is installed) and works from the command line, but when I run :
- 'adb usb' command, it says 'error: no devices/emulators found'
- 'adb devices' command, it prints 'List of devices attached' with an empty line beneath.
I believe this is a specific issue and the general solutions to install ADB or restart doesn't work here as I have tried all that.
I have removed and reinstalled android studio, still not working.
I have removed and reinstalled adb and adb & fastboot, still not working.
I have restarted my device, disabled and re-enabled developer mode, still not working.
Obviously, I have unplugged and plugged the cable back in several times, still not working (only Android File Transfer keeps coming up)
Just in case, I have rooted my device, could that be the problem or that doesn't matter?
