Can not use android phone as emulator in eclipse

Question

I've tried everything to make eclipse recognize my phone but it just wont. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (I727) This is what I've tried

-Adding android:debuggable="true to the manifest -Looking at"Using Hardware Devices on the google developers site. *But the thing is with that, is that when I try to install the USB Drivers from the \extras\google\usb_driver\ it says "Windows was unable to install your android" So I don't get why it's saying that. I've even tried installing the USB Drivers from samsungs website as well. If you could help me that'd be great. Thank You!

And yes, USB Debugging is enabled on my phone.

Solution: Installed Kies, rebooted. Ran kies. Then I went into settings on the phone. Storage, clicked the options button. Clicked USB computer connection, and selected Media Device (MTP) and it installed the drivers. And soon eclipse recognized it as well as kies.

Answer 1

Issue: the drivers are not being installed successfully in your machine.

Solution: kindly download and install Samsung Kies from here.It includes drivers for your Samsung device.

It will definitely solve your issue.

Reference: steps to follow while installing kies

I hope it will be helpful !!

EDIT:

As suggested by Fernando Ramirez

In the cell-phone, Go to Settings -> Storage -> options -> USB computer connection -> select Media Device (MTP) and it will install the drivers

Answer 2

Im guessing you want to debug your program directly from your phone. I had the same problem a while ago. I think if you install kias that can manage the installation of usb drivers. http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_install_USB_drivers_on_a_PC
