I've been playing a little bit with some mobile development technologies like Cordova, PhoneGap, VS Cordova extension, Android Studio,... And at some point, you will need to test your application in your real device instead of an emulator. After testing different Android devices, I was not able to detect my phone connected to my PC because it was not able to recognize the device. Something was wrong with the USB drivers.
Fortunately, I found a really good post by Kannon Yamad which explains perfectly what you need to do. I've added a small brief with some steps here:
- First, you need to uninstall your current device, connecting your phone and going to your device manager. There you just need to make a right click and uninstall the driver.
- The next step you need to achieve is, clean your PC of drivers you don't really need. First, download the tool Nirsoft's USB Devices View Utility and delete all the drivers with the words: “Google”, “Linux”, “ADB”, or “Android”.
- Finally, you just need to install the universal Android driver called "Koush's Universal android driver" and plug your device.
This process will make your android development experience a lot better, I lost a lot of time on this issue and I find this universal driver really useful working on phones and tablets without problem.
Hope you enjoyed this post and see you soon!
