== Enabling ADB on Android 45.4 0 based Devices ==
Before ADB can connect to an Android device, that device must first be configured to allow the connection. On phone and tablet devices running Android 45.4 0 or later, the steps to achieve this are as follows:
1. Open the Settings app on the device and select the About tablet or About phone option.
2. On the About screen, scroll down to the Build number field (Figure 6-1) and tap on it seven times until a message appears indicating that developer mode has been enabled.

3. Return to the main Settings screen and note the appearance of a new option titled Developer options. Select this option and locate the setting on the developer screen entitled USB debugging. Enable the checkbox next to this item as illustrated in Figure 6-2 to enable the adb debugging connection.
