I have a weird problem here. When I start an Emulator, it starts up after sometime but it is not shown in the Android Device Chooser(some times it is shown). Has anyone encountered this situation before?

Here is a screen shot of the situation. As you can see, one emulator is running on port 5554 (GingerBreadGoogleAPI), but the Device Chooser shows no emulator or device is connected. The cmd ./adb devices does not list any device. I am running Linux 3 kernel on Kubuntu OS with 2GB RAM.

One solution (which I do) is to simply start another emulator. But I dont want a solution for the problem, instead I want to know why this is happening.

  • Perhaps not everything is up to date. Maybe you should check the SDK Manager to make sure. – Corey Ogburn May 25 '12 at 05:58
  • Well i did not install anything more than the SDK platform and Google APIs in the SDK manager. But im not sure if that would cause a problem. Strangely this problem does not show up always, sometimes everything is butter-like smooth. – gkris May 25 '12 at 06:02

It is happening sometimes; I am also facing this issue.

I am always trying kill-server & start-server

You can find ADB under SDK_Folder/platform-tools

First do

./adb kill-server

then

./adb start-server

and check

./adb devices
