When I run application Android device chooser show my device offline. I am stuck at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

I've seen this happen a few times on my HTC Desire. I've never figured out whether the problem is in adb or the device but I usually do the following:

  • Restart adb by issuing 'adb kill-server' followed by 'adb start-server' at a cmd prompt
  • Disable and re-enable USB debugging on the phone
  • Rebooting the phone if it still doesn't work.

99% of my issues have been resolved with these steps.
