Android Studio Doesn't Recognize The Running Emulator

When I run my app from AndroidStudio 0.4.3 using Run I see Choose Device which has two sections choose a running device or Launch Emulator. I don't have a running emulator at the m

Solution 1:

Disable and then Enable ADB Integration

In Android Studio go to

1. Menu -> Tools
2. Android
3. Enable ADB Integration (should be checked, click to remove check)
4. Enable ADB Integration (should not be checked, click to add check)

Run your app again. Emulator that was previously missing from Run dialog should be available to be selected upon which to run your app.

Solution 2:

Try to kill the adb server and restart it.

Locate your adb binary (linux/osx) or adb.exe (windows) and do:

adb kill-server
adb start-server

this should fix your problem

Even if your problem still not solved then Restart emulator.

Solution 3:

Wipe Data and restarting emulator helped me, hope this helps to someone.

Solution 4:

On Windows, running Android Studio with administrator permissions can help (in addition to restarting adb server).

Solution 5:

inside AVD manager, select your virtual devices, then 1 stop, 2 wipe user data, 3 cold reboot, works for me.
