Setup for debugging on real device:

On Ubuntu/Linux, to debug on real device, you have to set up your system to detect your device.
(referencec: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/device.html#setting-up)

Edit/Create /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
$ sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Add the code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

Where 00b4 is the vendor ID, replace it to match your device. For my Samsung device, replace with 04e8.

You can check your USB vendor ID here: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/device.html#VendorIds.

or try to find it using lsusb command.
