Enabling Android Developer Options

All Android devices default to Developer Options turned off and hidden. 



1. Open settings and go to the subheading "System"

2. Click on "About device" (Depending on which version of Android you are running the location may vary slightly)





3. Scroll down to "Build number" and tap it 7 times






4. A Toast message will pop up indicating that developer options have been unlocked. After you hit the back button you will find that "Developer options" is now available to you under the System submenu.












6. Ensure that you have "Developer options" and USB debugging activated if you are pushing your .apk file from Android Studio








Common mistakes that will prevent your phone from being recognized by Android Studio

1. Ensure that you download the Google USB Driver.

2. Download any USB Drivers from your specific manufacturer.

3. Also ensure that you are using the USB cable provided with your phone. Many older cables may not work properly and will prevent your device from being recognized by Android Studios.
