I just installed VS 2015, the installation was finish (after some fail time caused by the slow network, I run setup again).
I create a project as Android > Android blank project
When I press F5, the build is seem to by success but the deploy is fail, there isn't error message. Tried set Tool->Option->Build->Diagnostic, no result. VS 2015 is pretty new, is anyone met this? How can I fix this?
I bumped into the same, but I started VS2015 as Administrator and solved the problem.
Is any Android Virtual Device running?
Open AVD menu
Launch the device
Wait for it to fully load
Build and deploy
Find your app in device's menu and execute it
Visual Studio gets stuck trying to deploy the app to the emulator or the emulator does not appear as a debug target in other IDEs
If the emulator is running, but it does not appear to be connected to ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or it does not appear in Android tools that make use of ADB (for example, Android Studio or Eclipse), you may need to adjust where the emulator looks for ADB.
The emulator uses a registry key to identify the base location of your Android SDK, and looks for the \platform-tools\adb.exe file under that directory. To modify the Android SDK path used by the emulator:
Open Registry Editor by selecting Run from the Start buttons context menu, typing regedit in the dialog box, and choosing OK.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Android SDK Tools in the folder tree on the left.
Modify the Path registry variable to match the path to your Android SDK.
Restart the emulator and you should now be able to see the emulator connected to ADB and associated Android tools.
And yet another recipe of fixing this:
clean projects
remove all bin, obj folders
mark your android-project
as startup
then try to deploy again
As for me, in some cases, if visual studio stucked on project building, it requires pc reboot.
I had the same annoying issue. Going to Options -> Xamarin -> Android Setting and checking Preserve application data/cache on device between deploys solved my problem.
I was facing same issue.
Just reopen visual studio and rebuild your project..and then try to deploy.
Its worked for me!
According to Magnus Grindal Bakken's comment, I found the solution.
1) The installation must have an internet connection to be completed.
Any interruption may cause components to be excluded.
2) You need android emulator. Installing the Android SDK and Visual Studio 2015, is not sufficient, You either need the Microsoft emulator, the android one or another third party emulator (like Genymotion). You also need to ensure that the Xamarin plugins for Visual Studio are installed.
Xamarin for Visual Studio can be downloaded here. Once it is installed Visual Studio will be able to create and run Xamarin projects. Xamarin for VS includes the Xamarin Player for emulation. I think it's even better than Genymotion.
Start emulator via AVD manger ... [start] button (as user m93a suggested).
And next option contains check option "wipe user data". Check it !
It helps me solve this problem. Then deploy or debug the application and all process will works as expected.
I had the same problem with my XF App, it didn't deploy and just one message saying Deployment Failed, internal error....
I solved it. Working on Mac with Xamarin Studio, make sure that the ABI of your simulator is supported by your app.
Xamarin Studio Android project Options
Just run your Visual studio as Administrator mode.
Sometimes the physical Android device gets confused about versions.
On the device, to go settings | Applications Manager | All applications.
Manually delete your application.
Manually delete "Mono Shared Runtime" (don't worry it will reinstall during deploy)
Make any change in your project so it is seen as altered and needing to be recompiled: Add a new blank-line to a .cs file or something.
Build
Debug/deploy
I faced that problem couple hours ago, I tried to deactivate hyper-V and it worked for me.
In the Android App project Properties in Visual Studio I had to go to Android Options>Advanced and make sure the Support architectures had the architecture of my AVD checked.
In my case this was x86_64 (which, by the way, does not have a particularly discovereable method of installation - took me days).
First of all, we can find the error in "Details" when we click "Start" button on "AVD Manager" for "Android_Accelerated_x86". If the error is as follows :
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU
acceleration status: HAXM is not installed on this machine
So, in this case we need to install "Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager". It can be downloaded from following link :
haxm-windows_v6_0_6.zip (6.0.6)
Note: After installing Xamarin for the first time in visual studio 2015 i had the same error to run "Android_Accelerated_x86". After installing this accelerated emulator is now up and running.
If the emulator does not even lauch, maybe deploy is skipped.
You cas see this in the output console.
If so, you may have to activate the deploy by checking it in the solution's (not project) parameters.
If the emulator launches but the deploy won't end after minutes, with no error, try the steps described here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/32564067/7505268
That solved it for me.
I had Xamarin Android Player opened while trying to deploy the Android project. This steps worked for me:
Closed Xamarin Android Player
Ran Android project again
in my case I had this problem because "Solution Configuration" was set to Release. I change it back to Debug and I solve the problem
Try one of the following and see if you can get the app to deploy to your device.
Clean and build project/solution
Make sure you have updated all the NuGet packages (Right click on solution and click on Manage NuGet Packages.... Then check in Updates section whether there are any updates)
Make sure you have installed all the necessary SDKs from the Android SDK Manager
Check whether you have selected the correct project as the startup
Check if you have set the correct path for Android SDK and NDK locations
Make sure you have checked Deploy for your selected project from Build -> Configuration Manager
Well there can be many reasons,one of them could be that from the Build section in your toolbar,if you check the configuration manager there will be project names that are available in your current solution all you have to check is if the deploy checkbox is checked or not.If not kindly check it and things will work just fine
This worked for me:
Making sure that Define DEBUG constant is checked.
Using Log.Info("yourTag-AnyString", "Error before/after ");
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
Log.Info(tag, "Error before Layout");
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
// Get our button from the layout resource,
// and attach an event to it
//Button button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.MyButton);
//button.Click += delegate { button.Text = string.Format("{0} clicks!", count++); };
Log.Info(tag, "Error before variables");
userName = FindViewById<EditText>(Resource.Id.editTextUsername);
password = FindViewById<EditText>(Resource.Id.editTextPassword);
btnInsert = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.btnInsert);
Log.Info(tag, "Error after variables");
btnInsert.Click += BtnInsert_Click;
}
changing emulators or exporting the signed .apk instead
For android apps, using android device logging
There is actually a connection between running Visual Studio as administrator and setting the registry path.
I followed the instructions here but it only worked after running VS as admin because my Android SDK path is in "C:\Program Files (x86)". So in order to add or change files there you need admin rights. Alternatively you can change the permissions of the "Android" folder so that the group "Users" as full access. This worked for me as well.
Or you make sure you don't even install the Android SDK in "C:\Program Files (x86)".
By the way I found that restarting VS, or even the Emulator again wasn't necessary after I added the registry key. It picks it up when it needs to.
I'm just getting started with Android development and was setting up Android Studio on my mac. (Following the instructions here)
When trying to run a simple hello world application and trying to learn my way around the IDE, I noticed the "Android Device monitor" disabled. Any ideas how I can fix this? This should be important when debugging apps hence the question.
I'm not sure what other info might be important for this question. I did make a few changes in the SDK manager, but they were just installing more components on top of what was already installed.
Once you open a valid project, the buttons become enabled.
Note that, even if the option is disabled, you can still bring up the Device Monitor by running the monitor.bat file in the tools directory of the Android SDK. (On Windows you can just double click the file or run it from a cmd shell.)
This problem occurs to me today. And I just click the button on the pic.
Problem solved.
and If this didn't work ,you can check this list in your Android Studio
1.Tools->Android->Enable ADB Integration
2.If you open DDMS, CLOSE it .
If these didn't work too, check the official file.

I am a beginner to android development,I have downloaded adt-bundle-windows-x86_64 with android 4.2 and started the eclipse version(Android developer tools) provided with it.But when I click finish after filling all the details in new android application dialog box,the finish button doesn't seem to respond at all.At the first click on finish button an application is created but no java files in it and the dialog box stays still.At least the android 4.2 library is not in the application.src is also empty.
I'm working with Windows 7 64bit and JDK 1.6 64bit.
Any idea on solving this?

Eclipse is not that much robust IDE.If nothing can solve your issue.try to restart Eclipse and your Computer.
and yes,before restarting just update the packages.
Go to SDK Manager, and install available updates for following packages.
Android SDK Tools
Android SDK Platform-tools
After updating,it will be look like this,
I just got mine past this bug; hopefully yours will fix too?
On the screens with menus to select from, where one item is greyed (selected?) as default:
Deliberately click the item, to ACTUALLY select it (it turns dark blue or something).
Mine apparently got caught up on the "Make activity" (or whatever) page, and until I went back and assumed that the default had failed to select it, I was unable to choose finish (even though it clicked, looked as though it was going to do something, and then didn't go).
I am attempting to use the android plugin for eclipse (Indigo), and I've gotten it to work once. Unfortunately the machine I am using has a 'deep freeze' program on it, and so I've had to install the SDK several times in order to use it. I have permision from the system administrator to install the SDK permanently, but I cannot seem to get it installed correctly. My problem is as follows:
I follow the instalation instructions found on http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html, have a few problems making Windows recognize the fact that the JDK is already installed (which I work through), and then complete the installation. I attempt to create a new Android project and in step 1 of the project creation the drop down bar labelled 'Build SDK' is completely blank, and the 'next', 'back', and 'finish' buttons are all dark and unclickable.
I'm not quite sure what I've done differently from installation to installation (of the SDK). Any help or suggestions would be apreciated.
Whenever I run my app I get the Android Device Chooser dialog:
This is happening because I am using the Google APIs for 1.6 and trying to run the application on my Nexus one. Is there any way to make this automatically, or to not check the compatibility? Sometimes when I make a modification and quickly after I save and run the application, Eclipse will build the project and the Android Device Chooser dialog will show briefly and disappear and the app won't run. I have to click run again for it to work. Any workarounds?
Once you have installed ADT, you need to define an ADT launch configuration, in order for your project to execute itself as an Android executable.
(source: google.com)
Then, do not forget to To go in Eclipse->Preferences->Run/Debug->Launching.
In the “Launch Operation” subsection, select “Always launch the previously launched application”:
(source: turbulent.ca)
Create a run configuration.
Run -> Run Configurations.
Select your project and specify your target and from then on run that configuration when you run that app.
The key is the very top line in the screen shot of your Android Device Chooser. Notice that it is asking you to select a device compatible with a Google API target. This dialog only ignores your launch preference when the Android version you selected in your project's properties is one of the "GoogleAPIs" type. Choosing one of the Android Open Source Project versions will respect your launching preferences.
This is a bug (or intentional behavior) in ADT when anything other than a stock SDK version is selected. You will experience this when targeting "Google APIs" rather than a plain Android SDK.
For the details, see the implementation of AndroidLaunchController.java within the adt project. (Basically, whenever you target something other than a plain SDK, it can't tell if the attached device satisfies the requested libraries, in this case Google APIs.)
Just set the 'target' tab to the 'Automatic' option and it will launch on your device automatically.
