Android Studio - Unable to open debugger port: java.io.IOException

I am stuck in a problem here.
I cannot attach debug using Android Studio 3.5.1.
Its keeping showing me the message "Error running 'Android Debugger (8600)': Unable to open debugger port (localhost:8600): java.io.IOException"
I tried a lot of things like:
adb reset
invalidate
restart windows
reinstall android studio
and none of them works.
And I cannot find Enable ADB Integration on this version.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
EDIT
Debugging with emulator is working with all versions.
Debugging with devices is working only with devices with Android 9.0+
Kill and start adb didn't work.
I dont think its a local problem because its happen with a lot of people here. Its seems to be a project problem

You might check this 3 things:
1.
Youre not running a not debuggable version.
android:debuggable="false" in Android Manifest
2.
In Android studio you re not building a release version
Check in Build variants in bottom left corner.
3.
If nothing works use Troubleshoot device connections
Tools -> Connection Assistant
or older version
Tools -> Troubleshoot device connections
And try out the helper page from google (seems for older versions)
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/device#assistant

Try this:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb usb
For linux, e.g., ubuntu: start all commands with sudo like this:
sudo adb kill-server.

its your connection issue, cant find your device DNS.
what is your OS ?
In windows:
you must go to network and find duplicate dns and clear it (Search for
it)
In mac:
you must kill adb or delete that and run a new version
last hit is Update emulator in sdk

.First you need to check your build.gradle(app) file , and ensure that your build is debuggable.
.If debuggable then you need to check adb is working or not in your system, you can
check by just press 'adb' .
if its working then check devices by 'adb devices', it will show all connected devices.
add kill-server then enter and adb start-server

Try this. I have had luck with this approach when I run into problems with adb.
You can check if the device is recognised or not using
adb devices
If it is indeed recognised you may try to kill adb and start it again
add kill-server
adb start-server

How to fix the error "Unable to open debugger port " in Android Studio?

Error running Android Debugger (8600):
Unable to open debugger port (localhost:8600):
java.net.SocketException "Connection reset"

I was able to fix this with these commands:
adb kill-server
adb start-server

Try Restarting ANDROID STUDIO (Worked for me)

In my case, there was another service running on my laptop(Windows) that was using the port 8600. I opened Task Manager and stopped the service. Now, I could debug my application normally without the above error.

I solve the problem by checking my localhost.
Making sure 127.0.0.1 localhost.

For me this problem started when i upgraded my Android Studio to new version.
Please go to options menu Build and choose Clean Project.
That is it project started to run again and error was gone.

I tried other answers (e.g. restarting Android Studio) but they didn't solve this for me.
I had accidentally selected MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) in my Developer Options/USB Configuration. It started working once I set it to PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol).
EDIT: On reflection it's probably just that I changed the protocol because I've had the same issue since while on PTP. Hence I'm suggesting that the real answer is to change the protocol on the phone and, if you might need it, don't forget to change it back.

It could be that you need to wait for your code to stop compiling before you attached the debugger. I had a similar error and all I needed was patience.

If you using WiFi debug:
Exit ANDROID STUDIO
adb kill-server && adb start-server
adb tcpip 5555
adb connect [your wi-fi IP]:5555
Start ANDROID STUDIO

I did spent quite an amount of time by trying below things:
Re-installing old(3.6.3) and new(4.0.1) Android studio and Android SDK's
checking all the security things in newly installed Mac OS Catalina
Checking all the developer options in my physical android device and AVD
And all the things mentioned in this post as well: https://medium.com/returntrue/android-studio-cant-bind-to-local-8600-for-debugger-%E3%81%A7%E3%83%87%E3%83%90%E3%83%83%E3%82%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%81%8C%E6%B0%B8%E4%B9%85%E3%81%AB%E8%B5%B7%E5%8B%95%E3%81%97%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84%E3%81%A8%E3%81%8D%E3%81%AB%E3%82%84%E3%81%A3%E3%81%9F%E3%81%93%E3%81%A8-8f5dd9c8ca70
Finally a small change in my /etc/host file resolved this issue. I commented from 0.0.0.0 and ::1 for localhost local DNS entries and enabled only 127.0.0.1

ADB not responding. You can wait more, or kill "adb.exe" ... windows 8

When I try to test my Android application with an android emulator as always I now suddenly get an error message. I'm working with Windows 8. So far I tried the following things which unfortunately could not solve the problem:
reinstalling eclipse with android adt
reinstalling java
installing "android studios" first solved the problem but after one day mysteriously also here adb, stopped working with the error message given in the title " ADB not responding ...
furthermore I unsuccessfully tried out some advice from Mr. Google:
Stopping adb.exe via task-manager and restarting eclipse / android studios
"adb kill-server" then "start-server" via command prompt
setting the path to adb.exe as an environment variable
switching off any antivirus or firewall
starting the IDEs as an administrator
updating the IDEs
The only thing I can remember doing which may have destroyed adb on my computer for all times: I connected my motorola smartphone to my laptop and installed the motorola usb drivers but as I said the adb also won't work with the emulator.
Any help would be kindly appreciated. The issue bothers me for more than an entire day now. Maybe someone had similar problems on Windows 8 ?

On OSX helped:
Close Android Studio
Kill all processess using 5037 port
sudo lsof -i |grep 5037
sudo kill PID_NUMBER
Run adb devices from console
adb devices

Meanwhile the emulator is working again. I cannot definetly say what solved the problem. What It could be a combination of two things:
Deleting the hidden ".android" folder under C:\Users...
(Probably there was some malfunctioning automatically created code)
Deleting and recreating the Path variable to the folder with adb.exe ( ...\sdk\platform-tools\;)
Finally it could be a Windows 8 issue which I don't understand.

Try this,
Open a command prompt with administration permission and type
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
This worked for me
Edit: Windows only

Kill the adb.exe with a command prompt. Open a command prompt were your adb.exe is located and type
adb kill-server

Maybe HTTP Proxy blocked the localhost 127.0.0.1:5037
If you have config the HTTP Proxy, make sure to exclude the localhost like picture below
Also, port can also be blocked by the firewall and anti-virus firewall, please notice as well.

Try this,
at the prompt try adb kill-server
Start one of your AVDs
at the prompt try adb root
The prompt should say adbd is already running as root.
That should fix it.

In case it helps anyone else, for me the problem was related with the USB hub that the tablet was plugged into on the computer (unplugging the webcam which was in use fixed it).

I got the same error. Don't worry. I have an solution. Go to Task Manager. Kill the process called adb.exe. You will find 2 or 3 processes. Kill all of them. You are done. It will work.

I have the same problems. Verify port 5037 is free and ports 5555 to 5585 are available and never used by another process.
"ADB server sets up connections to all running emulator/device instances. It locates emulator/device instances by scanning odd-numbered ports in the range 5555 to 5585"
FROM: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
To find out which process is listening on a port on Windows yo can use:
C:> netstat -an -o
FROM: How can you find out which process is listening on a port on Windows?

I had the same problem, here is my simple fix:
-Go to task manager in windows, look for adb.exe, and kill it
-Go to command prompt, and tap adb devices ==> it will automaticaly start adb daemon

I finally just restarted the computer, and that solved the issue for me.

Uninstall HTC Sync. Or disable it somehow.

Try to open adb from command prompt from directory location as <sdk>\platform-tools,
If adb file is missing try to re-install Android SDK with latest version,
And try to run again..
I think issues will solved, by this procedure.

I saw this on a Mac OS X.
I shut down Android Studio and ran adb get-state in the terminal. When I started Android Studio back up, the warning had gone away.
BTW, I did just try restarting Android Studio without any luck. I am sure a restart of OS would have fixed it too.

The same thing with the Asus Sync utility (with the both our Transformer's 700 and 701).
I think there is a USB-port conflict between ABD driver and Sync utility.
Exit from Sync utility resolve the problem.

Looks like this could be caused by a bunch of different issues. This just happened to me because I had my android phone device plugged in for USB debugging, then after a few hours (and multiple android studio/phpstorm restarts) I had to do unplug the device manually. Things started working again after unplugging.

I have faced this problem few days ago. When I opened my task manager it showing me two adb runnig. It may be because of I am using mobogenie for connecting my android phone for debugging application. This problem is because of moboginie and adt port conflict. then I have followed following procedure to sort out this issue.
!) close eclipse
2) Go to task manager and kill all adb processes.
3) Now go to platform-tools in android sdk
4)press shift+right click mouse and select "open command window here" option
5) type
adb kill-server
adb start-server
6)if server sucessfully started then start eclipse and then connect your phone
(Remember dont connect your phone before starting eclipse)

Following works for me every time:
go to File->Invalidate Caches/Restart
select Invalidate and Restart
And, You are good to go.

'adb devices' showing dummy device

I have been facing this problem for quite sometime now. Running 'adb devices' shows me an additional dummy device although its named as emulator-5554. FYI, I don't have any emulator running as well.
adb devices
List of devices attached:
xxxxxxx device (Actual device)
emulator-5554 device (Dummy thingy shown as device).
How do I clean up this mess?

Same problem for me but I don't see any Bluestacks service in my services list. after
adb devices shows emulators I didn't have, I usually just type the command
adb kill-server
and running the
adb devices
once more shows only the devices that are connected.

I had the same issue. I did this and now everything is ok
click Windows+R
type services.msc
stop BlueStacks Android Service

I have figured out the issue. I had installed Bluestacks for Mac for trying out Android apps on Mac. This was running an emulator with a different name.
Figured it out by taking a screenshot of the emulator and it showed the launch screen of Bluestacks. Uninstalled Bluestacks and all is well now.

the adb server is scanning for emulators on all even local ports from 5555 to 5555+128 (5683). If you have a custom service which use one of these ports... You are stuck with the "adb -d command" requirement

pls check in task manager whether emulator-arm.exe is running. If so, try stopping both adb.exe and emulator-arm.exe

I had the same problem and non of these answers helped. So I figured out that my system didn't shut down properly and that's the reason I have a dummy emulator-5554. The solution was to create a new emulator with a name then launch it? While it's launching kill the server using cmd until when the emulator powers on and you can see its name under Devices in DDMS. After this shut the emulator...emulator-5554 is gone, Now you can start Bluestacks and connect

I was facing the same issue, and that due to BlueStacks too. In case you have Windows and you don't want to remove it, then you can stop its service "BlueStacks Android Service."
To do that click Windows+R, type services.msc then stop "BlueStacks Android Service"

Eclipse emulator NOT BlueStacks:
In the case of the eclipse emulator running in the background and you don't know how to close it, just go to devices tab and choose the dropdown menu on the right, then Reset adb. OR, just reset the adb using adb console.

Just open task manager and end task bluestacks

I also meet the same problem.Here is my answer to solve this problem.
in Windows system.
1.in cmd terminal,usr cmd netstat -aon|findstr "5555"
2.use cmd tasklist|find "PID",the PID para should be a process number which is the result of the first step .
3.changed the Port No. to other ,which should not be "5555"
That's done.

After trying:
adb kill-server
stopping adb.exe in task manager
adb usb
and a few other stuff I can't even remember. . .
I restarted my computer and the dummy-device was gone!

Error "AdbCommandRejectedException: device not found" in Eclipse using Android emulator

I've tried to change the build of an application, and now eclipse doesn't work.
There is nothing in the console, and when I launch the debug, there is nothing on the log.
I just got this message :
[2011-03-31 11:22:58 - Logcat]device not found
com.android.ddmlib.AdbCommandRejectedException: device not found

Try adb kill-server and adb start-server to restart the adb. It can be found in your android sdk directory, subfolder plattform-tools.

Restart the eclipse once...and try again
...

on-off your USB debugging on mobile phone or your AVD maybe help you solve this problem. This method is work for me :)

I encountered a similar issue on Linux. It turned out that my adb server was running under my user account, so running the following fixed the issue:
sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server

I also faced same problem.
Go to developers Option and then Revoke USB debugging authorization.

Restart the eclipse and check if the error continues.
Also check if you have correct version of AVD manager installed or not.

If you are using the Emulator and restarting adb doesn't solve the problem then close the current running Android virtual device and Launch it again.

For some reason my device had gone offline, reconnecting the device resolved the issue.
