Apps How do you connect device to PC?

[shimabukurov]

I am trying to attach a Samsung phone to my PC to test my android apps. I am using Eclipse and have the emulator working ok. I have downloaded the driver for my phone to my computer. I have enabled the settings on my phone in order to allow testing on my phone.

One thing that is not working according to documentation that I have read is that if I run 'adb device' in the command prompt, my device does not show up. So I am wondering why my device is not visible in the list. Is it because I have not installed the driver in the correct location? And is this why I am not able to connect my phone to my PC?

Anyway, could someone give me some direction?

thanks,
buckaroov

Which operating system are you using ?
Windows or Linux have different settings, on Ubuntu for example you have to add a row in /etc/udev/rules.d to see the attached device.

If Try to add the directory on which you (or Eclipse) downloaded the USB driver (typical is "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools") to the system path and then reconnect the phone. This let Windows to find the USB driver and install it when the phone is connected.
