Following on from ADB not recognising Nexus 4 under Windows 7 I am having problems getting the Eclipse android development environment to recognise my new Nexus 4. My privious Nexus S had no problems.

I believe I have followed all the advice in this previous post but am still stuck.

Can anybody who has succeeded getting the nexus 4 available for android development on windows 7, tell me what their driver detail are for the "Android Composite ABD Interface"? Mine say: * Driver Provider: "Google Inc" * Driver Date: 27/08/12 * Driver Version: 7.0.0.1

When my phone storage is set to either PTP or MTP, I still can't see it through the eclipse "android virtual device manager".

When set to PTP, if I run the "adb devices" command described in the linked article, I do get an entry appearing in the dos box, but nothing in the "android virtual device manager" in eclipse.

The solution is to connect your device with PTP instead of MTP and, it works. Connected devices are not visible in AVD manager. AVD manager is for emulators. To show connected devices, you use only ADB with this command :

adb devices
