android sdk eclipse, samsung galaxy tab 2, How to recognize devices

Question

I'm trying to develop on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with eclipse and android sdk. I've already installed Samsung Kies and turned on USB debugging on my device.

It looks like eclipse didn't know the new samsung driver. Did I forget something? What should be the windows pilot of the device? I think is the samsung pilot. Should I be able to create virtual samsung at this step? What is the correct url for the samsung add on site?

I'm on windows 8. I'm using Eclipse Juno and adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219

Answer 1

I suggest you try this.

Unplug your device. Install this drivers. After installation plug it in again. It should recognize your device.

Answer 2

If Windows recognises the USB mass storage on your device, what you can do, is go to Device Manager, Right-click on My Computer > Manage > Device Manager, find your device, should say not recognised or something like that, click Update driver software then click Browse my computer for driver software then click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, you should end up with a list, click Show all devices or something like that. Then search for your manufacturer in the list, in your case Samsung, click on manufacturer and find Android USB debug or something like that (it's a certificate) then install that.

Restart your adb in Eclipse, to do so, go to devices tab, (to get to it, click Window > Show view and find Devices if not in that list, then check in Other list at the bottom. Click on arrow in image below, and select restart adb . Finally restart Eclipse.

Hope this helps.
