This is just a quick note on how to make sure your device shows up in the device listing when debugging an Android app in Eclipse. I spent some time trying to figure this out since I had the plugins all installed and the app ran good in the Emulator, but my device just wouldn’t show up in the device list when choosing to debug manually. I found the solution, of course, in the docs.
So if you’re having this problem you should make sure that your device is set up for debugging. I’m running the Droid Incredible, so you may need to take slightly different steps to accomplish this than what I layout here.
- On the home screen of your device choose Menu > Settings > Applications > Development.
- Make sure that ‘USB debugging’ is checked. I would also suggest checking the ‘Stay awake’ option as well so you don’t have to keep waking your phone up during debugging.
If the rest of your debug settings are correct your device should show up. At least for me this was the solution.
