debugging - Eclipse Doesn't Recognize my Android Device

Question

I have the samsung galaxy tab, when I plug it into to eclipse to run and debug my apps. Eclipse doesn't recognize the device. When I try it with my friend's Droid 2 it still doesn't work. Can someone please help me?

If you are developing with Windows, you might need to install the USB driver for our device. For Windows 7, here's how you do it:

To install the Android USB driver on Windows 7 for your device:

1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
2. Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
3. Select Devices in the left pane.
4. Locate and expand Other device in the right pane.
5. Right-click the device name (such as Nexus S) and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
6. Select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.
7. Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in extrasgoogleusb_driver.)
8. Click Next to install the driver.
