I am attempting to install an Android app on my brand new Nexus 10. I have a .apk file. I have downloaded the Android SDK, installed "Android SDK Tools", "Android SDK Platform-tools", and Google USB Driver. I have checked the setting on my Nexus 10 for "Unknown Sources".
When I run "adb devices" from the command terminal, it doesn't list any devices. I attempted to follow this recommendation, because it was identical to a suggestion I had previously found here on Stack Overflow. After following those steps, "adb devices" still returns an empty list and to make it worse, when I connect my Nexus 10 to my PC, Windows doesn't show any folders within the device.
I have undone the steps in that link, along with everything else I have done so far, as well as uninstalling my Nexus 10 from Device Manager and reinstalling it, but I am still not seeing any folders in the device.
Is there anything I am missing to get my device to show up in ADB devices?
What can I do to get Windows to see the folders within the device?
Answer
Windows 8 wouldn't recognize my Nexus 10 device. Fixed by Setting the transfer mode to Camera (PTP) through the settings dialogue on the device.
Settings > Storage > Menu > USB Computer connection to "Camera (PTP)"
