Yes, hello there. You need to be patient when working with Android devices. Can you tell us what resources are you following to setup your device? Are you using [this](https://android.processing.org/tutorials/getting_started/index.html)?

Did you try running it? Does it work?

What Android mode version are you using in Processing? Also, can you tell us if you have done this in Android Studio before or is Processing Android your first experience working with mobile devices?

Hello,  
Do you enable debug mode ?  
Do you have a USB cable certified for USB transfer ?  
thank you.
