Answer 1

I am adding this answer because I think this will be helpful to future visitors.

I ran into the same problem, and managed to solve it. However, My solution is different from the one already mentioned.

First of all, the monitor.ini file is in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64 and config.ini file is in ./configuration folder

When I checked log file it said (at the very end of file) :

java.io.IOException: The folder "C:\Users\.android\monitor-workspace.metadata" is read-only.

So I ran the monitor.exe as Administrator and it worked fine.

Next I ran Android Studio as Admin and the ADM button worked fine.

Answer 2

The config.ini file should specify org.eclipse.core.runtime@start in the osgi.bundles property. Here is the default osgi.bundles property, maybe it was (accidentally) changed during an upgrade:

You need to add the following line to the bottom of the eclipse.ini monitor.ini which is a configuration setting file located in your android-sdk\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64\ folder:

-Dosgi.bundles=org.eclipse.equinox.common@2:start,org.eclipse.update.configurator@3:start,org.eclipse.core.runtime@start

After that, run Android Device Monitor from the same folder where you have made changes instead from Android Studio and right click on monitor with eclipse icon>Run As Administrator

Ref : "Unable to acquire application service" error while launching Eclipse

Answer 3

Insert into search bar "monitor.exe" click up with the right mouse button and run as administrator.

Answer 4

Error log file saying ".android\monitor-workspace\.metadata" is read-only unable to acquire application service.
After the error I saw the folder created by Android studio is called C:\Users\FirstName%20LastName\.android\monitor-workspace\.metadata
The space in the user folder name is a problem.

Make new user account and copy .android and .AndroidStudio2.0 folder to the new user folder. Start Android Studio without "Run as Administrator".
