Android development device not found

I am getting started with Android development. I have an older Samsung Galaxy S2. But Android Studio doesn't recognize the device. I've tried going to the USB utilities but I can't seem to find them. Is my device too old?

You will have to enable the "USB debugging" option in your phone:
you will get this after enable the "developer mode" on your phone(aka "developer options" on some devices).

Check this guide to enable this mode.

In addition - if you want to test your apps on a real device you will need to have a data USB cable(if you can upload stuff from your phone to your computer than you have the correct type of cable )

In some devices after enabling developer mode and connecting a cable you should scroll from the top side of the screen (Like in the photo) and click on USB for file transfer, and select Transfer files.enter image description here

I was not using the correct cable. I assumed since the phone was charging I was using the correct usb cable to connect to my pc. Found a different cable, I believe the same cable that came with the phone. Now my device is found and working.

In addition to enable the Developer mode, if yet doesn't work, take a look at this page https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb, maybe with this driver you will have your problem solved: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads

You can also check at your adb to make sure your device is connected:

cd cd c:\Users\Linda\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\

run: adb devices

It must shows your device's ID.

Hope it helps.
