Your Android device must be rooted for this to work.
We will not explain this as it varies wildly between devices and you could easily break your device if you don't know what you're doing.
- Download the "SDK Platform-Tools for Windows" from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
- Unzip the file and extract the "platform-tools" folder.
- Copy the entire contents of the "platform-tools" folder into your SDA folder.
- On the main form, click on "Setup New Account".
- Click on "Import from Android device".
- From there it will wait for a device to be detected. You can also click on "Connect to ADB over WiFi" to connect to your device over WiFi. (If it's the first time you connect to your device via ADB, follow the instructions on the top of the window.)
- When a device is detected, it will start checking and extracting.
- If more than one account is detected on the phone, a dialog will popup asking you to choose one.
- When it's done, login to your account.
You can safely remove phone-extracted accounts directly from the manifest, but make sure it was extracted from your phone, or you will lose access to your account. You can also have both your phone and SDA linked to your SG account at the same time.
