Genymotion Device doesn't appear on Device Cho

Question

I installed Genymotion with a virtual Box and the Genymotion plugin (Android Studio), created a new device and runs properly, even from Android Studio.

However when I hit the Run button, the Genymotion device does not appear on the Device Chooser, it says 'Nothing to Show' under the 'Choose a running device' radio button. How can I get the Genymotion device to appear on the Device Chooser and run my app? Is it something I am missing from the SDK manager?

Answer 1

I tried adb kill-server/start-server. But, It didn't worked.

Instead hitting this command 2-3 times quickly worked.

adb reconnect

Answer 2

Just in case someone is still looking for an answer. The software versions in which i faced the
above issuue is -

Android Studio - 3.3.2
Genymotion - 3.0.1

So, now let's start with the problem. Just try the following steps:

1. Check if you have enabled Genymotion Plugin in Android Studio. For Windows, go to
   File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Search for Genymotion and see if it is checked. If you can't find it, Click on Browse repositories , search for Genymotion and install it.

   Check the tick in the plugin:

   

2. Check if the Genymotion Emulator is running or not and Genymotion Main Screen shows status as Running or ON (This was my problem. Although my emulator was up and running but Genymotion's Status was showing Booting). It usually takes some time to get the status from Booting to ON

   Check for emulator status:

   

3. Check if your Min SDK Version is less than the Emulator's SDK Version. I faced it quite a lot in my initial days. For that, Go to your Module:app gradle file and see the Min SDK Version and the Emulators SDK Version is same or higher.

   Check for Min SDK Version as highlighted in the image:

Hope this helps. If you still get any problem do let me know.

Answer 3

I solved mine by:

First start android studio before starting genymotion. Then run the app in android studio and wait until you see the device chooser then start genymotion

Answer 4

I've tried from the android studio version 2.0 and the version 2.1, both does not compitable to genymotion. please use the version 1.5.1 or older than that.
