This can be caused by many reasons, some of them:

1. Check if Google USB drivers is installed
2. Check if developers options is enabled
3. Check if USB debugging is enabled
4. Check USB Connection in Device Settings (play with Media Device[MTP] and Camera[PTP])
5. Plug off/on usb cable

6. Restart adb: kill [from console: kill-all adb from windows: kill it from TaskManager] and start it again

7. Download Samsung Kies Software from here (it will download some drivers too, while installing this software plug off your device and after it finishes plug in and try it)

8. Some more here

7 clicks over "compiller number" in "about the phone" in your smartphone, it enable developer options, after that enable usb debugging option and allow that Android Studio detect the phone

Solution 3

Download and Install Moborobo for all android Smart phone USB drivers.Then open moborobo and plug the android device.If your device driver not there it will get install automatically by Moborobo.Then restart your IDE to detect the device.

@hrskrs also value answer only ,but some times lower level devices would give this kind of issues.

I had the same problem with my Xperia L1, It works with the ADB Driver Installer:

• Unzip and execute ADBDriverInstaller.
• Connect your phone with USB depuration enabled, click "Refresh" in ADB Driver Installer.
• If your phone is not in list, the default driver (or another) is installed, click on "Device Manager" search your phone, right click, uninstall current driver. disconnect and connect your phone and click "Refresh" in in ADB Driver Installer.
• Select your phone in list and click "Install".
