Trying to force feed myself Windows to build character, and the seemly trivial thing of plugging in a Nexus 7 to a Dell xps 15z Tand debugging a "hello world" app on it from Eclipse Juno with the latest ADT plugin has me stumped.
Developer options were turned on, and USB debugging enabled.
The device just does not show up, not in Eclipse, or in "adb devices".
The first time I had not installed the USB driver from the sdk. In this case the Nexus 7 shows up in the WIndows devices under "Portable Devices" and a filesystem can be browsed from Windows.
Next I installed the google USB driver. Now the Nexus 7 shows up in the Windows devices as "Android Phone"/"Android composite ADB interface", and at that point I thought I was moments away from looking at "Hello World" and moving on to something interesting, but wait, there's more, adb remained blind to the Nexus7.
Any ideas, or suggestions for debugging this problem would be appreciated...

2) When the Nexus 7 is plugged in there is a persistent notification that indicates "CONNECT AS / Media Device (MTP)". In this state adb devices will not show the Nexus. Not exactly obvious why, but I you select the second option "Camera (PTP)" the device is available for debugging. This choice is persistent, and I'm guessing that with a band new device it will connect as MTP until told otherwise.

In MTP my Nexus 7 displays just fine. What I think you are having a problem with is the actual driver for the Nexus 7. What I had to do was install the Google USB driver for it, instead of the Asus one because it has adb problems. If you want I can send you the driver and screenshot of mine working in MTP mode.

I had exactly the same problem, very frustrating. the device would show up in the device manager but not in windows explorer, I think you need to clean up whatever default driver that is installed by windows, I did the following:
1. uninstall the driver in the device manager with option "delete the driver software for this device" 1. reconnect the Nexus tablet 2. let windows install a default driver which will be inadequate 3. uninstall again the device in the device manager with the option "delete the driver software for this device" 4. let windows try to find the driver, this process will fail 5. go back to the device manager and right click the failed device and update driver 6. choose the driver location in the android sdk directory (android/extra/google/usb_driver)

I had the same problem: New Nexus7, eclipse, Android-SDK, Win7. Does not work correctly with the newest Google-Drivers and the Original-Asus-Drivers. Then I found something about "Nexus7-Toolkit" and with this Tool opened all works fine! Don't ask me, why. I suppose, that it has something to do with the newest Google-SDK/ADK-Update. I think, before that all works fine, of course only in PTP-Mode !
