Eclipse - Target "unknown" in Android device chooser

Solution 1:

Had the same problem with an LG phone. Rebooting it (phone) worked for me

Solution 2:

One solution I am aware of is to just turn off and on USB Debugging on your phone. It also happens to solve a bunch of other device-not-recognized kinds of problems.

Solution 3:

Follow these steps, if your device is recognised but the eclipse is stating it as unknown:

->open cmd   
->go to the your android sdk directory --> Go to platform-tools
->adb kill-server
->adb start-server

this will definitely solve your problem :)

If you already installed USB driver and still your device showing as unknown then follow this solution. I had same problem with my MOTO G and this solution works fine for me

Solution 4:

Check your device that

USB connected

and

USB debugging connected

or Check the following

The solution was to create a udev rule for the device. See http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up for how to setup a udev rule for your specific vendor device.

With the rule in place. Eclipse was able to launch and debug.
