Genymotion Device doesn't appear on Device Chooser - Android Studio


This happens because Genymotion is shipped with outdated Android tools. To solve follow the steps:

  • Open Genymotion app,
  • Go to Settings -> ADB
  • Select 'Use custom Android SDK tools'
  • And select location of your Android SDK.

On Mac with a recent version of Studio that would be:

/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/


I had the same problem,but I solved it.

Before running genymotion you have to first click on run and wait until project compile and show you the empty device list and then you have to start your genymotion, after that it will appear.

  1. click the run button to compile project
  2. device empty list appear
  3. start genymotion
  4. device will appear in the list

That worked for me. Hope it helps.


Got the same issue on AS 3.3.2, I tried to select location of the Android SDK, or kill / restart the server. Still they didn't work.

After that, I install the genymotion plugin in AS and open the genymotion device manager, then check the actual ip address of the active genymotion device.

enter image description here

adb connect device_ip_address:5555

Now the device can be detected on device chooser.

P.S. Thanks @Ismail Iqbal for pointing out that the genymotion plugin is not necessary. You can also get the ip address from the emulator header.
