Hi there,

First, I've deleted the duplicate question you posted earlier. Please try not to duplicate forum posts.

As to your question. Connecting your phone to use and test apps from Android Studio is somewhat more complicated than just plugging in the USB, especially if you are on a Linux or Windows machine. (Macs are a bit simpler).

You can have a look at this video from Build a Simple Android App with Java course. Ben touches on this subject a little, but there are also some links with further references.

Hope this helps. :) :dizzy:
