I faced a bug with Android Studio 3.0 Preview. When I plug the device, small useful checkbox is missing.

Screenshot

Does anybody know how to enable it?

I had the same issue. You need to disable instant run in your android studio settings, follow below steps:

  • Open the Settings or Preferences dialog.
  • Navigate to Build, Execution, Deployment > Instant Run
  • Uncheck the box next to Enable Instant Run

After that you will have this option and if you will enable instant run again android studio will remember your selected device

    There is no "Instant Run" option. – doctorram Sep 16 '19 at 12:05
  • @doctorram I would recommend update to Android Studio 3.5, in this version device selection menu has changed and this problem not exist anymore. – Paweł Dedio Sep 17 '19 at 05:03

    @PawełDedio I am using Android Studio 3.5 and I still don't see such an option. – doctorram Sep 18 '19 at 00:55

Other possibilities for AS 3.0 (limited to your current project AFAICS):

  • Select the Use same device for future launches option in your project through Run -> Edit Configurations... -> General -> Deployment Target Options -> Use same device for future launches (Target should be set to Open Select Deployment Target Dialog).
  • In the same menu as above, select Emulator from Target and then choose your preferred AVD through Prefer Android Virtual Device.
