Xojo Android IDE can't find emulator although up and running

Targets Android
1

Hello to the community,
I have the problem that my Xojo Android IDE can’t find the the “Medium Phone API 35” emulator although I have created it successfully in the Android Studio device manager and have cold started it. Strange is, that the emulator is not listed in the selection dropdown menu in the Android project settings although I started Xojo AFTER starting the emulator…

I have documented my steps run my app in this screen video. As you can see (hopefully), the emulator is running and my app compiles without error, but Xojo can’t find or communicate with the emulator.

Does somebody has the same problem - and a solution?

I’m running the following configuration

  • Xubuntu 22.04
  • Xojo 2024r4.1
  • Android Studio 2024.1.2 “Koala” (due to an advice of Xojo support)

Regards

Have you tried to restart your computer?

Xojo uses the Android Debug Bridge tool (part of the SDK) to detect emulators (and devices).

Are you able to connect a device via USB to see if that works?

At this point you should create an Issue with this information and attach the video.

I’ve not tested with Xubuntu, but Linux loves to bring extra complications with this stuff.

Hi Paul,
I did as you suggested. And after I got the “Android Debug Bridge” running (issuing the command “adb server -a”) I saw my physical smartphone as well as the emulator (that one with another name than “Medium Phone API 35”) - but the emulator is still not shown in my Android project settings :frowning:
So I opened an issue (reference no. 78216)…
Let’s see what the support team will find out :slight_smile: …
