Android Studio can't find device

Question

I am using Android Studio for Windows but it doesn't show any list of devices in the "choose a running device" option. In a Command Tool, adb devices also shows nothing.

Things I have tried:

• I have tried this with 2 devices, an Xperia Sola as well as a Lenovo tablet, with the same results.
• I have enabled USB Debugging via Developer's Options on each device.
• I have tried adb kill-server followed by adb start-server , and adb devices still shows nothing. However, I can see the device in Windows File Explorer.
• I checked that the driver is up-to-date.

Can anyone help solve this problem?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. So here is what i did

1. reinstalled the device driver
2. changed the USB computer connection from MTP to Mass storage(UMS)

And it worked.
