How can I debug Android Studio Project using Bluestacks emulator?

Question

I'm new to using Android Studio as I used Eclipse before. As my laptop has an AMD processor, i'm trying to emulate using Bluestacks - as I did in Eclipse. I can run the project fine but when I try to debug I get the following message on Bluestacks:

'Application blah (process com.example.blah) is waiting for the debugger to attach' - with the option to force close. I have tried a few things such as setting 'debuggable:true' and 'uses-permission' attribute in manifest, restarting Android studio/Bluestacks, to no avail. I can't seem to find any other info applicable to this particular situation.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Open bluestacks, press Run button, then choose Bluestacks emulator — phatnhse, Jul 27 '17 at 15:41

Hi, realise this is late, but no I never did. I tend use a device or sometimes Genymotion now. Sorry I couldn't help! — KatieBrown, Feb 03 '19 at 22:31

Go to your SDK folder under platfrom-tools run adb connect localhost:5555 and go back to your android studio and run the project
