I have connected my phone to computer and enable use debug mode, I can use "adb -devices" find my device, but in vistual studio, it's always blank in devices list. And I have check the xamarin diagnostic output, always show thses message again and again, start with "adb server started" then "connection refused", like a loop:
[W:]: Adb connection refused
Can someone give some advice about how to fix that, thanks!

@NuclearWeapon I'm guessing you are either using the wrong cable to connect your android to the PC or forgot to enable Developer on the device.

Hi, I am sure about that I have enable the debugging mode.
And the log is like below:

I can see my device here in DDMS
@NuclearWeapon if you swipe down from the top you should see an icon showing you that your Android is charging power from USB, make sure you've allowed USB debugging there and that the connection isent locked to charge only will look something like this with the charging selected if wrong.
And make sure to go into developer options and enable USB debugging, debug mode when USB is connected
Hello, yes, it's show the debug mode in the task bar
@NuclearWeapon If Developer mode is
<On>, debugging enabled, and the phone is connected with the correct cable to the PC running Visual studio then i dont know why you cant see the device.Perhaps check if you have the correct SDK's installed to build and deploy on your device.
In visual studio go to Tools -> Android -> Android SDK Manager
If this dosent work, then im out of ideas.
Hello thanks for reply, yes, it's show the debug mode in the task bar.
@XamarinProblems
It's working on my laptop but the desktop can't.
Anyway, thanks for the information.
@NuclearWeapon my last guess if it works on laptop but not on desktop is that the USB port you are using from the desktop dosent support the debugging. Some front facing USB ports only support powering and basic communication. Unless already done, try connecting your phone directly to the motherboard, via. one of the back facing ports.
