I've recently purchases my first Android device - a Nexus 5 - and I'd like to play around with it. Since it's a pure Android phone I'd thought testing the most basic program on it would be a breeze, but I just can't get it to work on my Windows 7 laptop.

Step 1 is getting the driver to work. This works I think, since in the Device Manager displays an 'Android Device', with subtext 'Android Composite ADB Interface'.

I also have USB debugging enabled on my device.

Now, to test whether my device is connected properly, I understood I need to run adb.exe under C:\Development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools. So in my cmd I cd to the location and run this command, a window (presumably adb.exe) pops up and does some things, dissapears again and... nothing else happens. I'm not used to using the cmd-line, so perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not getting any results. Also adb.exe seems to keep running on my computer.

Any ideas?

Edit I had already tried running adb devices as well. This gave the same result. However, I noticed an Avast!-interface around the box of adb.exe. Disabeling my antivirus made a device show up. Thanks!

  • if your device is listed under the Device Manager, then you are good to go

You're almost there. Just replace adb.exe by adb devices in the last command you typed (in your screenshot).

I think you should probably just try adb devices in the prompt and see if you get a list of attached devices
