Android device not being recognized inside Ubuntu running in VirtualBox on Windows 7?

I am running Ubuntu inside VirtualBox installed on Windows 7. For so开发者_开发百科me reason, when I type adb devices after connecting my phone, nothing happens. It just gives me a message saying that no devices were found.

The device is recognized in Windows but under Ubuntu, nothing happens. I tried using sudo but that doesn't work either. Is there anyway to get Ubuntu inside the VM to recognize the device?

Have you followed the instructions for allowing your VM to access host USB devices?

You will then need to follow the guide that user591604 links to, below.

I'm not sure about a VM, but I develop for android out of ubuntu. I remember having to do some wonky things. There's more about this on this page:

I hope this helps.
