I am getting the following error when trying to launch Android Device Monitor from the Tools window in Android Studio on a Mac.
and when I open the log file I find an error report very similar to the other SO questions similar to this, esp this one. However, using sudo did not work for me, although I get similar, though much shorter, error data:
Macs-MBP:tools macuser$ sudo ./monitor

./monitor: line 41: /Users/macuser/Library/Android/sdk/tools/lib/monitor-/monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/monitor: No such file or directory
./monitor: line 41: exec: /Users/macuser/Library/Android/sdk/tools/lib/monitor-/monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/monitor: cannot execute: No such file or directory
Backstory: After doing a complete, new Android Studio installation on this laptop (El Capitan) I attempted to launch the monitor from inside the IDE. It complained that running it required Java 1.6. So I installed Java 6. Then when I tried it I got the error message above.
I get the following when I ran from Terminal java_home -V

I'm having the same issue. Based on the log file, the new version of Android Studio requires Java 8 "Unsupported major.minor version 52.0": Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
I'm running Linux, I currently have java8 installed so I just needed to use:
and
then everything worked.
It looks as though you're using a Mac, so you may or may not need to do the following after installing Java 8: Installed Java 7 on Mac OS X but Terminal is still using version 6
Info from Unsupported major.minor version 52.0 source: wikipedia
Same problem was observed on: macOS Sierra 10.12.6 Android Studio 3.0.1
Was solved by: Uninstalling Java SE Development Kit 8u152 And Installing Java SE Development Kit 8u151 from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Confusingly I didn't have Java 8 installed in a shared location (only the bundled version in Android Studio). Installing it through homebrew solved my problem.
Android Studio comes with built-in Java 1.8, so it wasn't a problem when you are developing android app. But when you launch Android Device Monitor, it uses external java compiler that run on your OS. If you have preinstalled Java before, it won't be a problem. Otherwise, you will face the same problem.
I tried to set JAVA_HOME path to java packed in Android Studio. It does not work, probably because it is openjdk version.
My solution was to download Java JDK 1.8 from Oracle and install in my computer.
Try to right click sdk/tools/monitor.bat and Click "run as administrator"
If you open the particular error message you will see the first few line of the error message as below.
This is what I got. I have installed both java 8 and 9 in my mac and made java 8 as the default. According to the error message java virtual device took java 9 but its need 8. Thats where the probelm happened.So I uninstalled the java 9 from my machine then its started to work fine.
