It is not possible to do a live test of Adobe XD on Android via USB with windows 10. The real time update loop that's available for iphones should ideally extend to android as well.
There's another request regarding this "Live XD preview On Android" that was closed out as feature complete but it's not completed. You still cannot test in real time with USB.

Any updates on this topic? In the latest Windows update, we are even able to mirror and interact with the whole phone screen on Windows (Android). Would be cool to see that feature come to live on Windows so that we can start to use our Android phones for the design process instead of being forced to use an iOS device :)

I've had this option on XD mobile for years but it's never been working. The first year or so it said it was a Mac only feature on this very screen, but I haven't seen that disclaimer in a long time but still, when I have a Xd document open and connect my Android phone to my W10 PC nothing happens. I suggest Adobe just close the project for Windows and Android instead of having a menu option that doesn't work.
XD Ver. 21.0.12.11
XD mobile ver. 21.0.0 (22305)
Checked Play Store and I'm up to date on the mobile app according to them. I have allowed automatic updates for that app on my Samsung S7.

Could you please give us an update on this (Android live preview on Windows)? I got an email which told me that my ticket had been merged, but using cloud documents, as stated above, cannot be the solution. CD are not working with icon fonts, for example.

Currently there is no support for Android smartphones to preview one's prototypes under Windows (only iOS+Windows, iOS+Mac or Android+Mac). We are using Windows as our main operating system and would really appreciate it if we could test our prototypes on Android devices as well. By the way, cloud documents won't help here as they do not get the fonts and icons right.

Add at least some refresh option for Cloud Documents. Right now we have to go back to all documents and redownload all content...that takes forever...

2. Win10+AdobeXD+iPhone= Live preview
3. Mac+AdobeXD+Andorid mobile = Live preview
4. Mac+AdobeXD+iPhone = Live previewWhy dont work combo Nr.1? When will be available the live preview with windows and android combination same as with mac+any type of phone or windows+iphone? What is the purpose that does not work now?
Yes I know there is an XD app to install for android phones but that is NOT live preview just an option to view your design on android phone. More than that there is always problems with fonts with that app.

This feature is not completed as the other feature request says.
We really do need a faster way to design, without having to save to cloud, update in XD app and load document. Moving things in small increments and viewing the results takes forever.

It's not about Win or Mac. It's about personal taste. I love to use my Surface Book, and whenever I realize that the preview for Android is missing on Windows, I start to blame Xd for it.
I believe in the Xd team. This function is mandatory for all people who don't want to use a system which forces/teaches you to play just with one group of human beings. Other tools like Figma already have a function like this on Windows, and it's correctly working.
@Elaine like mentioned, I believe in the Xd team and can't wait for the day, this feature is also working with an Android smartphone on Windows! ;)

This is too bad. The live preview on a smartphone is a very important feature for any UI designer. I hope someone finds a workaround for this until Adobe releases an update.

As mac is very expensive most of the designers in countries like India use windows laptops. Please release live preview feature like mac for the windows user.
