ADF Mobile - attached device not being recognised
Seemingly randomly I started having errors trying to deploy an ADF Mobile application to my MicromaxA210 mobile. I was getting
[11:26:02 AM] ---- Deployment started. ----
[11:26:02 AM] Target platform is (Android).
[11:26:02 AM] Beginning deployment of MAF application "SigCap" to Android using profile "run1".
[11:26:03 AM] Checking state of Android Debug Bridge server...
[11:26:03 AM] Android Debug Bridge server already running.
[11:26:23 AM] Verifying a single Android device is online and connected to the ADB server...
[11:26:23 AM] Deployment cancelled.
[11:26:23 AM] ---- Deployment incomplete ----.
[11:26:23 AM] Failed to detect a connected Android device. Make sure the device is connected. Otherwise, manually restart the ADB server. The following results were provided by ADB:
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 offline
(oracle.adfmf.framework.dt.deploy.android.deployers.CheckAttachedDevicesDeployer)
What I did to fix this was the following
1) From the Windows Start I ran devmgmt.msc and from here I found "Android Composite ADB Device" - I double clicked on this to chose to uninstall AND delete the driver.
2) I then re-connected the MicromaxA210 mobile and it started to install the driver. I got an error here but I pressed on regardless since now at least Windows Explorer could see the device although JDeveloper couldn't
3) I made sure USB Debugging was ON on the MicromaxA210 mobile AND I also switch off Media Device (MTP) which is a USB connection option.
The combination of the above and the luck of the gods seemed to have got things working.
