Hi there,

When you connect your device into your machine, do you see some confirmation message about trusting your device with that machine?

Thanks

Hi there,

Based on your logs:  
org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.ResourceException: File not found: C:\Users\Sankar.r\Katalon Studio\Samples\Mobile\.classpath.  
Folder Sankar.r maybe the root cause of its. Can you move that sample project folder into different place which is not in ‘Sankar.r’ folder and try again?

Thanks

Hi Oliver,

I moved the Project folder outside of the Users folder. Created new folder in C drive and created a project. Still getting the same issue. Even restarted the Katalon Studio. I could not find any helpful information in the Help/Blog

Hi there

Please help me to check again by doing the following steps for more investigations:  
1. On terminal, navigate to platform-tools in \configuration\resources\tools\android\_sdk\platform-tools  
2. Type in “./adb devices” and observe devices listed there. You can refer to our attached image for its usage

Please check if there is any device listed 🙂

Thanks

Hi Oliver,  
As I am working on windows facing difficulty with “./adb devices” . When i use this command it is showing the following response. Any suggestions in getting the devices. I have tried with “adb.exe” in terminal and it has shown all the commands that we can use. Please check the second screen for this.

Hi there,

I’m so sorry for giving you the command which I’ve used for Mac OS version :(. To execute this command on Windows, here is the correct one:

adb devices

Thanks

Hi there,

I observe that the listed device’s name is emulator-5594. Is that the actual name of your ‘Redmi 3S’ device?

Thanks

Hi,  
The name itself is Redmi 3S. I think Emulator is not a physical device, its a virtual device included in Android SDK that helps you to create and run tests without using physical device.

Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi there,

Please download and setup Redmi 3S USB driver here ([http://xiaomiadvices.com/download-xiaomi-usb-drivers/](http://xiaomiadvices.com/download-xiaomi-usb-drivers/)) and try again with the command “adb devices”.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Is the same ‘emulator’ device listed when you execute ‘adb devices’ command? If your Redmi 3S is still not displayed, it’s the problem related to adb itself, have you turn on Developer Mode already from your device (Settings -\> Developer options) ?

Thanks

Hi there,

This is an issue from adb itself not recognizing the device, so it’s not related to Katalon Studio, can you follow solutions from this page?:

> <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31488295/adb-is-not-recognizing-my-redmi-note-device>

Hope it won’t take much of your time and sorry for conveniences. Please make sure the output is your real physical device is listed when you execute ‘adb devices’ command 🙂

Thanks

Hi there,

The current issue that you are facing right now is adb command can’t detect your device, so it’s best to focus on things to resolve this issue. Try this one first:  
1. Download abd installer from this link.  
[https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1k7jnFdJrUzajhnMmJaMGZxUE0/edit](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1k7jnFdJrUzajhnMmJaMGZxUE0/edit)  
Install the software and open it. It will automatically detect the android device and installs the suitable ADB drivers in the computer.  
OR  
2. Install PC Suite : [http://pcsuite.mi.com/](http://pcsuite.mi.com/)

Reset your connection from your device to your PC and try again with adb devices command.

Regards

Hi there,

I will do that in my personal laptop. I have tried with office PC.
