Hello sriharia75,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you are asking something about tethering an Android phone to a Mac via a USB cable. Please note that (at least according to the Android help at Share a mobile connection by hotspot or tethering on Android - Android Help) Mac computers cannot tether with Android via USB.


You could use Wi-Fi instead. Once a working hotspot on the Android mobile phone has been established, it should be possible to connect from a Mac notebook in the same way as to any other Wi-Fi base station.


Best regards.
