Android newbie - debugging app on physical device

Question

I was trying to debug my code on a physical device instead of an emulator. In order to do this after a series of steps I finally plugged in my device only to see that "Samsung_Android" and "CDC serial" drivers are missing.

It seems very odd for these drivers to be missing. What am I doing wrong, any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

You need to install the usb drivers for ADB. For samsung, you need to install kies, located here. Also, if you have problems there are some stack overflow related questions, like this one.

Answer 2

Do you have kies installed? Go to C:\\Program Files\\Samsung\\Kies (or whatever folder) and look for a folder named USB driver. Instal the executable inside, make sure kies is not running and connect the phone to the computer. It should work just fine
