If you can't connect Huawei phones to Android Studio, You can give it a try.

Follow these simple steps:

First you need to turn on Developer mode. To turn on developer mode go to Settings-> About phone -> click Build number 7 times .You will see a message "You are now a developer".

I had this problem with my Huawei P9. Then I realized that on device manager, my phone was using the incorrect driver. After I picked the MTP USB DRIVER, it worked.
