Solution: Why is Eclipse's Android Device Chooser not showing my Android device?
THis is getting annoying. My device shows up in eclipse on all
platforms.. Except when I am on my Ubuntu laptop.. when I "run
configurations" with it set to Manual.. I can see that there is an
Emmulator running that I can Install the App to.
Problem is, the Emulator is a pile of horse crap when it comes to
testing on real devices like my Samsung Captivate.
When the Captivate is plugged in via USB.. it shows via ICON, except
the ID is set to ??????????? and nothing else seems to be registering.
I can highlight it, but I can't launch it.
The captivate I am using is Rooted and running the LagFix Kernal..
However this has never hindered me on Windows or OSX.
Help.. I am trying to go completely Linux.. if it kills me.
See screenshot below: http://img265.imageshack.us/i/sdkbugeclipse.png/
UPDATE: Device is showing in the manager even when not connected?!?!
This has to be some weird Eclipse bug.. PLEASE HELP!
Solution (in case you missed my edit) need to add the correct Samsung Device ID when using the SDK with Ubuntu: link

I have written an Android app using Eclipse Mars. I would like to test it on Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P Emulators. These devices are not listed in the 'create AVD' dialog's drop-down list.
I tried the 'device' tab and entered the size and other parameters of the device. The 'create device' button was enabled, but nothing happened when I clicked it. I have tried it several times now, waited for half an hour after clicking, tried it on a different computer, but nothing happens. Any suggestions?
It's a bug in AVD Manager, you should look for an update to arrive and hope that it is solved.
I think Eclipse AVD throws a tantrum if there's a space in the name.
Does the new name you put for your AVD have a space? Remove that and I think you should be good.
See how my device's name doesn't have a space?
On my "Develop" menu, in Safari, the iPhone no longer appears after updating Safari to the latest version, making it impossible to inspect and debug sites and apps.
I restarted the iPhone, killed and relaunched Safari, restarted my Mac too, but the issue is still there. Affects both Safari mobile and phonegap applications.
Anyone experienced the same problem?
FWIW, I tried all of these suggestions, and it worked briefly after resetting Privacy & Location settings but stopped working immediately after.
What ended up working as a long term solution was to turn both WiFi and Bluetooth off on the iPhone while connected to the Mac.
Turns out, my issue was that the update to the latest iOS version disabled the "Web Inspector" settings on my iPhone.
To re-enable it, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced.
In our case we needed to reset the trust between iPhone & Mac. From iPhone Settings > General > Reset choose reset Privacy & Location and also Network Settings. The phone reboots, we reconnected to the laptop, tapped Yes to Trust this Computer and now Mac Safari can once again debug mobile Safari.
What helped for me was the following:
Open Xcode
On the Menu: Window -> Devices and Simulators
Check the Connect via network checkbox. (If it is already selected then uncheck it and re-check)
In my case, resetting only Privacy & Location did the job (but only temporarily, see update below!).
Try only resetting that before resetting your whole network settings for nothing!
Almost immediately after reset, the "Trust this Computer" popup appeared and after trusting my device appeared in the Develop menu.
Update:
I kept having regular issues with this (having to reset it multiple times per day, restarting Safari and a combination of other things) until I found the real fix here:

#BearSnowstorm:
One more tip to try - after trying many of the above suggestions I
turned off "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" in iTunes.
Voila! Got my iPhone into the Develop menu!
(for context, this is in Mojave 10.14.6, iOS 13.1.3, Safari 13.0.3)
My comment on that answer describes the same thing but updated for Catalina:
I had recurring issues with this and the only way I could make it work (sometimes) was to reset Location & Privacy, close Safari, unplug my device, etc. It was always a temporary fix though and the issues would come back very quickly. This however seems to work more permanently! I confirm what #Florian said: the setting was off by default for me, turning it on then off (after letting the sync finish) worked. On Catalina, this setting is named "Show this iPhone when on Wi-Fi" under General when you select your iDevice in the Finder.
Reading that answer my instinct was that it could not possibly make a difference, but it does! I have had zero issues since I did this. Try it!
Some cables (even official Apple Lightning Connector) don't support this feature because of some damage inside. My Lightning Connector was able to charge the iPhone but prevented to use dev tools on the Mac. I used another cable to successfully connect to dev tools.
In my case, this was totally a network issue.
Everything works well when I used 4G network.
If I use my wi-fi, safari failed to detect my device.
Turning off wifi on the iPhone allows it to appear in the develop menu.
The best and permanent solution in Catalina is to open a new Finder window, select in sidebar, then check 'Show this iPhone when on wifi'.
To disable caches (and to avoid constantly having to delete website data) open your site in a new Private Window. Changes to stylesheets will then update as normal.
Seems the front ports of my Mac Pro were not working correctly, plugged the cable on the keyboard port and I was able to connect to the dev tools.
I know all these tricks but after installing Catalina none of them worked. What DID work for me was Settings > Developer > Clear Trusted Computers. Strangely, the phone appears in the Safari Developer menu on the Mac, but the phone never asked to re-trust the computer!
The phone disappears again sometimes, but the same trick gets it back.
MacOS and iOS still look beautiful, but both are turning into a messy pigsty underneath. I sometimes wonder if Apple still even cares. :(
I've tried with the reset of Privacy and Location but it didn't work. What worked for me was disabling the hotspot from the phone. With the hotspot active Safari doesn't shows the iPhone in the developer menu.
Crazy but true, when i disconnected bluetooth and tried to check under develop option, connected device was shown.
In my case the only solution was to reboot my Macbook... stupid but effective solution
My solution was simply to move the cable to a different USB port.
reboot fix everything，works for me.
In my case, I was working from home and had a VPN tunnel to my work that was redirecting all traffic through my company's network. Disabling that revealed the phone in the Develop menu again.
As an alternative, connecting with VPN and disabling WIFI and Bluetooth works.
i'm new into programming for android. And i have few problems with connecting and debugging my eclipse project on android device - which is my phone Samsung Galaxy SIII. According to this link I tried to launch my app on my phone. Saddly when i press run button it tells me that there's no android device connected. And as you may know im not that dumm to not plug it into my computer. Additionally i have USB Debug mode ticked in options. My PC recognises it as "SAMSUNG Android ADB Device".
Some of you might say that i should start using emulator to have better view how this app will work on other phones/versions of android/etc. Thing is that my PC is quite old, and running an emulator makes it respond so slowly that it's nearly impossible to do anything on this emulated device. Plus... im quite sure that i wont publish this app on play store so i dont need to know if it will work on other devices. I just want to make a weather widget for me since stock one that uses accuweather.com tends to fail weather forecast for my country (like it says heavy rain on sunny day).
So here are the things that i have done so far to try to launch:
1. Uninstalled device and set some new drivers that should have helped me - saddly not ;]
2. Tried launching it via command line
3. I found somewhere on the Internet that it is possible to connect and test your app via WiFi using tcpip over 5555 port... saddly it failed too.
Any ideas what else should i try to make it work?
When i click Run -> Debug Configuration there will be a 3 different types of simuator :
blackberry simulator
blackberry device and
blackberry simulator(running)
Which one should i use?
This is the picture :
And everytime i want to debug my code in the simulator(f11), the annoying question will be appear. This is the picture :
My questions are :
which one should i use?
what is the different? and
is there any way to make the annoying question (2nd picture) never appear again?
(I dont know what the 2nd picture (dialog) is for. Although it keeps asking that question, i cant really choose, because only 1 choice will run smooth while the other 2 will make an error, so why is it asking?).
I've had these problems, too. It's not very clear.
Basically, BlackBerry Device would be for running on a real BlackBerry smartphone. To choose this, obviously, you must have a BlackBerry smartphone connected.
As for the other two, I always use BlackBerry Simulator myself. It sounds like BlackBerry Simulator (running) would be for running on a simulator that has already been started. But, in my experience, choosing BlackBerry Simulator usually works, even if the simulator has already been started. However, although there are several ways to do this within Eclipse (the normal Eclipse Run / Debug menus, the BlackBerry menu, or right clicking on the project in Eclipse's Project Explorer), I haven't always had good success with all of them.
Recently (JDE plugin 1.5.0+), I have been using the Eclipse Run -> Debug As -> BlackBerry Simulator choice, or the special BlackBerry plugin Debug icon:
When I start either of these ways, it does not ask me to make another choice.
Note that I don't see the hot swap (restart app without a full simulator restart) feature work correctly on all simulators, even those with OS > 5.0, if I use Eclipse.
Here are some more references on running and debugging within Eclipse:
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/35144/Testing_a_BB_app_with_BB_smartphone_sim_1889924_11.jsp
By the way, an older (plugin 1.3) version of that document mentions BlackBerry Simulator (running), while the newer version (1.5) does not. So, maybe RIM no longer intends for you to use that choice (?).

Is it possible to actually use the Xcode debugger when running an iPhone app on the device rather than the simulator? i.e., can I have the device stop at breakpoints that I set in my code and step through the code as it runs on the device?
EDIT: I should mention that I am a registered developer with Apple and have a valid certificate. In fact, I can build and run iPhone applications on my device just fine. However, even in Debug mode, my application will not stop on breakpoints or output to the console when I run it on my device. If it helps, my application will function normally in debug mode (e.g., stopping at breakpoints) when I run in the simulator.
EDIT 2: I've tried resetting my phone, completely removing and reinstalling Xcode, creating a new project, changing all the settings mentioned in the answers on this page (as well as others), cleaning and building my project, Build and Debug... If I click Pause, it says "Error from Debugger: Quit". :( Maybe I'll try to debug on this device using Xcode on another computer and see what happens.
EDIT 3: Well, I tried using another computer using a fresh install of Xcode in a new project, and I still can't get device debugging to work. I have a suspicion that it's my iPhone or cable perhaps? I'd like to think that I'm not so incompetent that I've missed something so embarrassingly obvious, but I've double- and triple-checked all of the suggestions mentioned here.
EDIT 4: FINALLY got device debugging to work. I have a feeling that something low-level on my device was causing issues...nothing I did worked on my system. However, I installed Xcode on another system and device debugging on the same device (with the same cable) worked flawlessly. Directly after that, device debugging began working on my original machine, leading me to believe that some strange hardware flag was screwed up and somehow "reset" on the second machine. In any case, it works now... Thanks for all the help. :)
Also, I'm unsure if it's better to leave this question unanswered or pick the most "helpful" answer...
Yes -- just use a device build. You have to get certificates and provision it.
This is a good description:
http://boga.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/debugging-ipod-provision-profilescertificates/
Make sure to start debugging by pressing "Cmd-Y"... and not "Cmd-R" :-)
You may try last trick in case nothing can help.
If your application launched successful on your device from XCode but did not stop at breakpoints - try press "pause" button after start in debug mode. If you will see application paused properly (do not react to user's action) add new breakpoint then press "run" to continue application execution. In some cases it may helps to stop at new breakpoint.
Yes, just set your project to build for the Device.
If you need to setup debugging for jailbroken iPhone (up to 2.2.1) (not pay 99 to Apple yet) follow next steps:
Install MobileInstallationPatch for your iPhone via Cydia (use Search Tab)
Switch off PROVISIONING_PROFILE at XCode: Go to /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Info.plist, add next keys:
<key>PROVISIONING_PROFILE_ALLOWED</key>
<string>NO</string>
<key>PROVISIONING_PROFILE_REQUIRED</key>
<string>NO</string>
You may also add these keys to any
project particularly at XCode, Project
Build Settings, User-Defined
variables.
Add key to your project Info.plist at XCode
SignerIdentity = Apple iPhone OS Application Signing
Don't forget to install and add to your project settings self-signing certificate from Apple
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/Conceptual/CodeSigningGuide/Procedures/Procedures.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005929-CH4-SW2
"Build and Go", you can connect iPhone and start debugging.
Important! You may need to install and launch at least one legal app (any free one) from App Store first (before "Build and Go" step). Otherwise your application will be successfully installed by XCode to your device but may not be launched. Try this troubleshoot first in case of problem with app launching.
Yes. Debugger and performance tools work fine on the device. That's where I do most of my debugging.

fixed the breakpoints not holding in device problem for me.
