I have Sony Xperia L (C2104) and I want to connect it to Eclipse (Juno) for testing and debugging Android Apps. I have installed the Sony's PC companion software. I have turned on the USB Debugging via 'Developer Options' and the USB Connection Mode is MTP.

When I plug my device to Laptop, running Windows 8, the notification bar shows 'USB Debugging Connected' and 'Internal Storage & SD Card Connected'. However, when I start Eclipse, It does not show my device in 'Android Device Chooser' window..

I think the device drivers should have got installed along with the PC Companion Software but When I right click on My Computer -> Manage -> Devices, It shows a device 'Android' in Other Devices category along with a '!' with it. So maybe the drivers are absent.

Please help, need to test app on it urgently. I Searched drivers for Xperia L on Sony's website http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/ but couldn't find the driver.

This works for me . I changed the following setting in the phone. Settings > Xperia > USB Connectivity > USB connection mode and select Mass storage mode (MSC). By default Media transfer mode (MTP) is selected and USB cable must be unplugged to change this option.
