2,957 PointsAndroid Studio not reading my device?
When I plug my phone into my PC, I can see and hear the PC recognizing my device. However, when I go into Android Studio and try to run my application, Android Studio is not reading my device at all. I already have an App that I created on my phone, so I don't understand why its no longer recognizing my phone.

2,957 PointsI don't see it. There is nothing in my notifications. How do I turn that back on?

"In order to use adb with a device connected over USB, you must enable USB debugging in the device system settings, under Developer options.
On Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default. To make it visible, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options at the bottom.
On some devices, the Developer options screen may be located or named differently."
