android studio abd,adb - Android Studio - Device is connected but 'offline' - Stack Overflow

There turned out to be a problem with my laptop's ADB RSA key. I'm assuming my G3 was rejecting a bad key and disallowing my laptop to connect to it via ADB.

ADB saves a key file in one of multiple places on a Windows computer, the first is in the location where adb.exe is (C:\android), the second is in the user's >profile (C:\Users*username*.android), the third place is in the Windows system files (C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.android), the file is >simply named "adbkey" with no extension. If there is no key file when ADB runs, it will generate one automatically.

Mine was located in my user folder (C:\Users*username*.android). All I had to do was delete the adbkey file (there was also a file named "adbkey.pub" which >I deleted as well), restart the adb server in command prompt (adb start-server) and plug my phone in. I instantly received the RSA Fingerprint Key window on my >G3 allowing connection between the two devices. Then typing "adb devices" returned my phone's serial number followed by "device" showing it was available. >I went back to the C:\Users*username*.android\ folder and sure enought there were new "adbkey" and "adbkey.pub" files.
