  1. Plug your Samsung device into your computer.
  2. Enable developer options on your device by clicking Settings > About device > Build Number (tap 7 times).
  3. Turn on USB debugging on your device by clicking Settings > Developer options > USB debugging.
  4. In Android studio , with your project open, click Run > Run 'app' (or Shift + F10).
  5. Choose the device you want to load and test on under Connected Devices.
