Debugging an Android app in Eclipse using the handset

I am just starting to learn Android development using the Android SDK and Eclipse. I can get my HelloWorld starting app to run in the device emulator, but not on my Verizon Droid handset. I have downloaded the drivers for Windows 7 and I can see the files on the handset in Windows Explorer, so I'm assuming I have the drivers working. I have enabled the USB Debugging on the handset.

The problem is that when I set the Debug mode to Manual in Eclipse, I do not see my device in the "Choose device" list. What am I missing?

Before you connect the handset, do you have the handset drivers installed on the PC? If so, without running the Eclipse if you connect the handset to PC, does a pop up show up on bottom right saying "your drivers are installed and your device is ready to use"? (assuming windows development environment)

Before developing/testing on handset you should be able to seamlessly establish handset and PC connectivity. Only then will you be able to use handset for Android development.

I do not get any pop up saying that the device is ready. I can enable the usb storage device on the handset. I also have USB debugging turned on. I do see the Droid handset as a removeable drive in Windows and can see the files on the handset.But, I still do not see the handset in Eclipse.

Try this, connect the handset to PC, go to "C:\<ANDROID-INSTALLATION-FOLDER>\tools" and type "adb devices". If you see a handset under "list of devices attached", then you handset is being recognized, its its a connectivity/driver problem.

Have you set Debuggable to True in AndroidManifest.xml?
