ADB Not Responding - Wait More or Kill adb or Rest

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• How to make Android's aapt and adb work on 64-bit Ubuntu without ia32-libs (works for versions 12, 13 and 14) 5 answers

I did serious searching both on Google and SO before asking this question - mainly because none of the suggestions out there didn't fix my problem!

After unsuccessfully attempting to make my new Intellij and Android SDK to work on my newly installed Ubuntu 13.10, I am coming to you for help. I know there are thousands of suggestions out there already but none of them worked for me.

Here is what I have tried:

• adb kill-server
• adb start-server
• adb devices

That last command listed my device - and that meant that it was able to detect it without any issues.

• I have added all the necessary rules like 51-android.rules and those should be fine.
• Started and restarted the IDE several times without any success.
• I have installed libraries to fix any 64-bit issues
• I even deleted the adb key in the .android folder since it gets generated automatically each time anyway.
• I have no other older versions of IntelliJ or SDKs;
• This was a clean installation of Ubuntu; I totally removed my Windows 8 (yeah, am done with Windows) and installed Ubuntu 13.

I don't know what else to try and do because I have spent hours online trying suggestions from others to no avail.

Any help would be really appreciated because I can't wait to get back to my Android App Development! Thank you.

EDIT - SOLUTION

I solved this problem and then documented it here for others who are having this issue; ADB not responding - the solution

I hope this helps.

Answer 1

Be sure the /bin/adb exists and then delete the adb from the Sdk tools, in my case:

rm ~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb

Copy the adb from bin folder into Sdk folder:

cp /bin/adb ~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb

Answer 2

This worked for me (Ubuntu 14.04):

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32z1-dev lib32stdc++6
