Android Studio Not Prompting Device on Run

Question

I am trying to run my application on either an emulator or my device. When I click the "run" button at the top of Android Studio, the app is not running but simply listing the message below:

The prompt is never appearing that asks me to select a deployment target. What is the setting in Android Studio to enable?

Answer 1

I found that the android build tools version 25.0.0 resolves this issue, I was previously using 25.0.1 and it was not loading the device chooser:

android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'
}

Anyone able to run with the latest build tools?

Answer 2

To enable the Deployment Target Dialog go to Run -> Edit Configuration -> Android App (app) -> Target: Open Select Deployment Target Dialog

Besides that you also have to enable developer mode on your device and have the drivers installed via the SDK manager or the manufacturer.

To check if your device is recognized you can use adb devices and it should be listed.

The adb is located under the platform-tools e.g.

C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools
