'Visual Studio Emulator for Android' devices are not listed in the Android Device Monitor
I experienced this issue when i moved my android SDK (due to disc space reasons).
If you open regedit
and go to the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Android SDK Tools
and edit the value Path
to look at your new android sdk location it should work.
you may have to call:
adb kill-serveradb start-server
and relaunch your emulator again to get adb devices
to see it but it should show up in the end
You may also need to restart your machine just to be safe
In my case I didn't have that entry in registry. But all you need to do is just create the key Android SDK Tools
that entry underHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node
Then add the two keys as shown (right click -> New -> String Value). Add the correct path to your Android SDK. Here is what it should look like:
Once you add those entries
adb kill-server
adb start-server
Restart the Visual Studio Emulator for Android then run adb devices
and hopefully it should just appear.
Copy Your ANDROID SDK PATH for me it look like this :
Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Android SDK Tools
.
Note: if
Android SDK Tools
folder doesn't exist, Create it underWOW6432Node
, And open it, And Create aString Value
name itPath
:)
Modify the Path registry variable to match the path to your Android SDK.
- Restart the emulator and you should now be able to see the emulator connected to ADB and associated Android tools.
