Android studio can't connect through ADB on OSX

Question

I've been working a bit with Android Studio on OSX 10.7.5 and it looks very promising. I've run into a problem when trying to launch an application on my device however.

When clicking the run button, AS claims to be "waiting for ADB". After a while it times out and says that "ADB is not responding...".

I've tried rebooting and restarting adb with adb-killserver and adb-startserver many times but it won't connect. When running adb devices or launching through eclipse, all works fine.

Anyone got ideas, I would be very grateful!

Answer 1

On the OS X the following steps solved my problem:

1. Disconnect your Android devices;
2. Quit Android Studio;
3. Force Quit process 'adb' from the Activity Monitor;
4. Start Android Studio.

Answer 2

I found the problem when I using the genymotion. At last, I realized the problem is that the adb location is not the same as the android studio. So you should update the adb of your genymotion. The step: Genymotion settings -> ADB -> Use custom Android SDK tools

Answer 3

I just had the same problem with Android Studio 0.5.3. I would recommend restarting your computer, if the adb kill-server, adb start-server method doesn't work.
