Intellij Idea does not find my android device

Problem was solved by installing HTC Sync it installed the correct driver and allowed me to detect the device.

It could be the configuration of your phone. Open the developer settings and make sure that the option of USB Configuration is in:

MIDI

I came across this problem today and was getting increasingly frustrated until I found this blog post: http://vuknikolic.me/2013/03/10/idea-intellij-usb-device-not-found-android-problem/

Basically, you want to run two commands:

adb kill-server
adb devices

When you run the second command, it will restart the server and you should see your device listed:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
37329B0B96FD00EC    device

If you try running the application again from IntelliJ (or Android Studio), it should work if your device was listed above.

This works for me:

1. Unblock developers settings in your phone (link)

2. Ensure your Adb USB driver is installed (Windows 8 and 8.1 solution):

   • Connect your device via usb
   • Right Click on 'This PC' (My Computer) -> Manage -> Device Manager -> Other devices
   • If usb driver is not installed, in 'Other dvices' will appear your phone
   • Download ADP USB driver for your phone (common drivers list)
   • Right click on your device -> Update Driver Software -> Browse your computer for downloaded driver directory
   • Click Next and install drivers.
   • You can receive error like this:

     A problem was encountered while attempting to add the driver to the store.

   • Handle error with unblocking unsigned drivers installation

3. IDE is still not recognize your phone

   • try run command (set PATH if command is not recognized ) :
     adb devices

   • with result like this:

     adb server is out of date. killing... daemon started successfully `

   • IDE should now recognize your device
