Why Android ddms not showing emulator or connected devices?

Question

This is a screenshot of my DDMS. As you can see there is nothing and I cant find any way to get the devices list or any other functional parts.

I try to reinstall android studio and new sdk but still its not solved. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thanks

Answer 1

I encountered this problem this afternoon, after half day of annoying work, I solved it at last.

The solution is, just delete *.cfg and monitor-workspace in $HOME/.android/.

Below is how I solved the problem.

There's little information about this problem. I guess it is a rare one.

I have tried several ways. First, reinstall the build tools, simply download and replace the tools directory. But it didn't work. And then I reinstalled the Android Studio, still not work either.

But during the procedure I have found that the ddms must have saved some cache in the computer. So I find the place $HOME/.android/ in this website.

After delete all *.cfg(3 or 4) and monitor-workspace, my ddms works well again. I guess delete all *.cfg is not necessary, just ddms.cfg. But I'm not sure.

Answer 2

Go to DDMS perspective -> Devices -> View menu(on right corner) -> Reset adb

If still not working, run this commands in command prompt/terminal

adb kill-server

adb start-server
