android device monitor not coming up

Question

I get following error in logs when i click on ADM icon in my android studio. I saw there was already a thread here about this but the solution seems to be for eclipse. However, there is some issue on gradle side today so i changed the https to http in my properties file. I was able to import the project. However, while running it crashes, i want to see the logs and open ADM but it pops up a message with a log file. Following is the end of the log file

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2015-04-11 19:04:38.452 !MESSAGE Application error !STACK 1 java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.core.runtime.URIUtil.toURI(URIUtil.java:280) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.ResourceHandler.loadMostRecentModel(ResourceHandler.java:127) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.E4Application.loadApplicationModel(E4Application.java:370) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.E4Application.createE4Workbench(E4Application.java:220) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$5.run(Workbench.java:557) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:332) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:543) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:149) at com.android.ide.eclipse.monitor.MonitorApplication.start(MonitorApplication.java:86) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:196) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:110) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:79) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:353) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:180) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:629) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:584) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1438)

Could it be because of following gradle certificate issue? Gradle sync error in Android studio when importing project

Thanks

Ensure that no other instance of monitor app is running. It may happen if Android Studio crashes or otherwise.

Kill the monitor process and restart.
