This might be an obvious one, but I just cannot get this to work:
I am trying to connect an android device to my PC in order to use it to test an app created with android studio. After connecting the device I don't get the usual usb connection notification on my device and nothing shows up in my PC's file manager either. I tried using both my Honor 5x (android 6) and Nexus 9 (android 7) as well as Windows 10 and Elementary os and multiple ports/ usb cables. On the nexus 9 I enabled the developer options and set the connection mode to mtp. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Daniel

Android Studio needs a device connected in ADB not MTP, though MTP can be activated with no effect.
On the device:
Open the Developer options
Enable USB debugging.
You need to install drivers for the device to get detected by the PC.
On the PC, Android Studio:
- Alt + F10 should open a window showing your device connected
Then you'll be able to test apps build with Android Studio

I did that, but am still not getting a connection. The tablet is not showing up in android studio or the file manager and there is also no notification on the tablet itself, however it is charging. – Daniel Mar 3 '17 at 20:51

Defective cable probably? Did you try another USB cable? or the USB port may be damaged, may have dust, debris, etc – esQmo_ Mar 3 '17 at 22:26

Hm I tried different ports on my laptop and two different cables, I will try a different PC when I have access to one. Thank you for all your help so far! – Daniel Mar 3 '17 at 22:54

If all this doesn't work, you need to check for drivers! Without drivers your device will never be detected ! – esQmo_ Mar 3 '17 at 22:58

You need to install USB Drivers on PC suitable for your device. You can find the right Android USB Drivers from here.
