ADB not responding. You can wait more, or kill "adb.exe" process manually and click 'Restart'


I am trying to run an app through my Galaxy S5 using android studio and this message keeps popping up. I have tried killing/restarting abd through cmd to no avail. I have restarted my computer, phone, and android studio, none of which have worked. I have looked in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\platform-tools

and can't find

adb.exe

so I suspect this may be the issue but can't find a fix for it.

For clarification, I have been testing my app fine until today when this issue arose. I also just recently updated android studio to 0.8.6 which may have contributed to the issue.


Solution

  • I just re-installed Android Studio and it is working now. I have no idea where the problem came from
