Native USB Debugging on Chrome 32 doesn't detect device

Viewed 16825

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. With the release of Chrome 32, I wanted to try the native usb debugging so I could work with my phonegap apps while they're on my phone (rather than browser testing then transferring). I turned on USB debugging and downloaded the appropriate driver. My phone shows up in device manager but it doesn't show up under about:inspect on chrome. How do I get my device to show up?

I found the solution. I'd never run ADB before but that's what Chrome uses for debugging (not sure if it was downloaded when I downloaded the dev kit or if it came with Chrome 32).

From the command line I ran, adb devices. Got the message "daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037". Once it started, my device showed up in Chrome! If you haven't downloaded the android dev kit you may have to do that first.
