First of all, this is my first post here and I'm a beginner so my apologies if this ends up being a stupid question or my format is wrong, but any help is appreciated.
Essentially my problem is in trying to set up Unity Remote 5 for debugging in Unity. However, I believe I've finally narrowed it down. The error I'm getting now seems clear:
CommandInvokationFailure: Unity Remote requirements check failed
C:/Program Files/Unity/Hub/Editors/2019.4.17f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer\SDK\platform-tools\adb.exe forward tcp:7201 tcp:7201
stderr[ error: device offline]
stdout[]
exit code: 1
I've looked into this error and came upon this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39031464/14948855 which seems like it might be useful to me, however the issue is I don't know how to run the commands he suggested and stack overflow made it clear it didn't want me posting a question as a response to that question and I don't have enough prestige to comment.
I'm trying to run "sudo adb kill-server" from an ubuntu linux terminal on windows from the directory abd is in (C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editors\2019.4.17f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\platform-tools), but it won't run.
proof command not found
I've tried adding it to the path on my computer: I added the directory listed above to "Path" in my "Environment Variables".
My phone is plugged in, I've disabled and reenabled developer mode and usb debugging, and restarted Unity and my phone several times. Any help with running this command in ubuntu or cmd, or even the greater problem of Unity Remote 5 would be fabulous.
Thank you.
Edit: here's a better image showing my issue:

Final Update:
All my problems have been solved, here's how I got unity remote 5 for android working for posterity:
step 1) Make sure phone is in developper mode (go to "about phone" in settings, tap build number 7 times).
step 2) Make sure "USB debugging" is turned on in developer options.
step 3) Make sure Unity is updated to the most recent supported version through Unity Hub (might not be required but I did this step).
step 3) Download android support module through Unity Hub.
note: if you downloaded current Unity version from the Unity website rather than through Unity Hub, it doesn't seem to let you add modules to it through Unity Hub.
step 4) The sdk path Unity specifies by default is wrong for some reason, so in preferences->external tools, disable the default path and paste in the right directory (should be something like: C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editors\2019.4.17f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK) to be safe I did this for the JDK, NDK and Gradle too.
step 5) When you plug in phone, pull down your notifications, hit "tap to change USB options" and make sure phone is in "camera" mode or some variation. For me it was "Photo transfer".
Note: if you don't have the option to change USB options, try different usb ports/cables, if those don't work you might have debris in your charging port, clean it out with a dab of 91% or 99% rubbing alcohol and a tooth brush/tweezers (this will also make charger sit more snug in phone)
That might be enough to get it working for you, if not...
step 6) (Not sure if necessary) May need to update phone drivers in device manager on windows.
step 7) If Unity gives an adb error saying too many devices connected, it's possible you have a daemon running in the background which adb is picking up as an android emulator because it's using a port greater than 5555. It seems adb checks open ports above port 5555, and assumes anything it finds is an emulator. To check this, as indicated in my original question, and as stated here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39031464/14948855, in cmd on windows use adb devices (if ur on linux may need to use sudo) to get a list of all devices being detected by adb. (Also use "adb kill-server" to reset it.) If there is an emulator being detected, it should include the port it's using in its name, in my case it was "emulator-5562" in port 5562, which was apparently actually NTKDaemon from Native Instuments, a random music production program I've only used once so far. I'd suggest googling the emulator port you find to try and narrow down the process taking that port. The only thing left to do is to kill the process running in the port. I found NTKDaemon in task manager and also disabled it activating on startup because that's just evil imo.
And that should be it. Hope that works for you if you're here for help.
(btw in terms of my original question, I was able to access adb.exe by changing the directory in cmd, but I still never found why adding the directory to the path didn't work, so if anyone has an answer to that I would be interested)
I used Unity 2019.
When I connect my android devices (3 devices, tablet included) to Unity and try to run and build any apk, devices are recongized in Unity but the compilation process fails. lt's, writtren :Android device 52000... is not responding
I had this problem with my new phone, which was occurring even after enabling USB debugging and authorizing the PC through the phone. I ended up finding the answer in here Unity's documentation:
Run the adb devices command from the platform-tools directory of your
Android SDK installation and check the output.
If the output list is empty and you are using Windows, you may need to
install the driver for ADB devices. For more details, refer to the
Android SDK/NDK Setup documentation.
If the list contains entries with the unauthorized label, you may need
to authorize your computer on your device and give it permission to
debug it. Check the device’s screen for the corresponding dialog.
If the list contains your device with the device label, build your
Project in Unity again.
I resolve the problem.
In USB connection mode, on my phone, there are 4 options:
Transfer files
transfer images
Connect a MIDI device
Charge this phone.
I ONLY changed the connection mode to TRANSFER IMAGES.
After that, I received a prompt asking me the validate this connection mode. I did it and it works fine.
I resolved this issue, by changing the USB connection mode to Image Transfer(PTP) in my MI device
the problem is very clear. The compilation is successful, which means there is nothing wrong with your code. And the error message in the dialog box is clearly saying that
Make sure USB debugging has been enabled
So, to solve this simply follow the steps below -
Navigate to Settings > About Phone > Scroll to bottom > Tap Build number several times
Go back and now access the Developer options menu, check 'USB debugging' and click 'OK' on the prompt
You can also checkout this link
On android device, when prompted for "Allow USB debugging?", selecting "Always allow from this computer" checkbox solved the problem for me.
In order for my phone to show up the "Allow USB debugging?" dialog, I revoked the USB debugging authorisations from my android device and then ran "adb devices".
Also once I did this, unity was showing my device name instead of just device id.
Here's what worked for me.
Windows key type cmd
cd C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
adb kill-server
adb start-server
I know this question was asked a lot, but going through dozens of answers none have been helpful.
I'm attempting to run a simple hello world on my Huawei Mate 9 using Android Studio 2.3.1 (The APP is 4.X Jellybean API) running on Debian (Jesse).
-I have enabled debugging options on the phone (I can see developer options)
-Installed the SDK and ADB through the Android Studio.
-Device is being detected successfully on ADB devices.*
-I have tried MTP and PTP (currently it's on PTP)
Despite all different combinations I don't see my phone ready for uploading my program.
*With android studio closed:
when I check adb it usually never finds the phone the first time (adb devices) but after i do kill-server and start-server, i get the unique phone ID the second time I run adb devices. Needless to say, should I run studio after the second time around when it detects it, the phone still does not appear.
Thanks
Try this two solutions :
1) Go to setting and than in security and enable " Unknown source " to allow installation of apps from unknown source. If its still not working try second solution.
2) This problem can be due to unsupported adb driver of you mobile model. For this Download PdaNet+ a universal adb driver downloader for all devices. It will ask to remove current driver and go for it. It will fix all the adb driver related issue.
Link : http://pdanet.co/a/
So after rigorous search, I've found the reason for incapability of finding the phone in the android select deployment target menu is due to an option within a hash code menu.
You need to dial ##2846579## (works on Huawei 7 and onwards phones) in order to find a hidden window, for me it says ProjectMenu as the activity title name, then you must pick Background Settings->Background Debug->Open then restart your phone, should you have avd,android running well on your pc and debugging options activated on your phone this is all that's needed in order to deploy your app successfully.
I know that similar questions have been asked before, but my problem is new only after installing Android Studio 2.3, the latest version in March 2017. I have several years experience developing Android applications, and I have never encountered this problem before. After upgrading to version 2.3 of Android Studio, my emulator is no longer able to access the internet. I even uninstalled/reinstalled Android Studio 2.3 from scratch and created a new emulator, and I am still getting the same error. This is not an app problem. I can't even access the internet from Chrome, and I wasn't having this problem last week. The message that I get says that the server DNS address could not be found -- DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG. The only thing that has changed on my computer in the last week is the new version of Android plus possibly updates to Windows 10. And yes, my computer has access to the internet. Below is an image of my emulator when I try to use Chrome to search for "Google".
1st try "Cold booting" the emulator as suggested here.
If cold booting doesn't work, try changing the DNS address of your network to 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS) or another of your preference:
MacOSX:
Open "System Preferences"
Click on "Network"
Select the network which your computer is connected and click on "Advanced"
Select "DNS", Select the "+" button, type "8.8.8.8" (Google's DNS) or if you prefer OpenDNS, "208.67.222.222"
Select "Ok" and "Apply"
Windows & Linux:
https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using
After that close the emulator and start it again.
After trying many of these solutions, I was going to just delete my current AVD and make it again, but when I clicked the down arrow on the AVD, I noticed "Cold Boot Now".
On a whim I tried that. Lo and behold my emulator has internet connectivity again!
Command-line approach
In case you start Emulator through command, pass -no-snapshot-load option, like:
%ANDROID_HOME%/emulator/emulator.exe -netdelay none -netspeed full -no-snapshot-load -avd Pixel_2_API_28
Or for MacOSX:
$ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator -netdelay none -netspeed full -no-snapshot-load -avd Pixel_2_API_28
Note that you may need to change -avd Pixel_2_API_28 part (with your own Virtual-Device name).
Also, most tools use ANDROID_HOME environment-variable name, hence define that (if not already), but nowadays ANDROID_ROOT is yet another naming-option.
Decision (edit)
Ok, for those saying why not just wipe data and restart.
Do you reformat your PC every time you restart it? Wiping data on the emulator is just like doing a factory reset to a phone or reformatting your hard drive on your PC and reinstalling your OS. It is unnecessary unless the data is totally corrupt.
When you shut off the emulator and restart it, it is like putting your PC in hibernate or sleep mode. Memory is not wiped, it is saved.
Doing a cold boot is the same as rebooting your phone or rebooting your PC. It resets memory and lets things reload. This allows the network emulation to start with clean memory and connect properly.
So, don't wipe your data. Just cold boot. If it still doesn't work, then wipe, but save that as a last resort.
I found a temporary solution on an old Stack Overflow thread at Upgraded to SDK 2.3 - now no emulators have connectivity. Note that this thread talks about Android SDK 2.3, not Android Studio 2.3. The problem seems to be that the emulator can't find the DNS my computer is currently using, and the temporary workaround is to start the emulator from the command line and specify the DNS server. Whatever problem occurred back then must have reappeared in the latest version of Android Studio.
The temporary solution outlined below fixes the problem with the emulator accessing the internet. However, it does not fix the problem that occurs when trying to run Android Device Monitor. Doing so will still make the emulator go offline as described above.
Note that there are two files named "emulator.exe" in the sdk -- one under sdk\tools and another under sdk\emulator. Either might work below, but I use the one under sdk\emulator.
The first step is to find where the SDK is located. Assuming a user name of "jdoe" and a default installation of Android Studio on Windows, the SDK is most likely in
C:\Users\jdoe\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
The second step is to determine the name of the AVD (emulator) that you want to run. The command
C:\Users\jdoe\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -list-avds
will show the names of your AVDs. On my computer, it shows only one, Nexus_5X_API_25.
To start the emulator from the command line with a specified DNS server, use something like the following:
C:\Users\jdoe\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -avd Nexus_5X_API_25 -dns-server 8.8.8.8
In this case, 8.8.8.8 is a Google public domain name server.
The above commands can be shortened if you create appropriate environment variables and edit your PATH environment variable, but I recommend caution when doing so.
[UPDATE 2022] for Mac Users
For NOT Apple Silicon users
System Preferences
Network
WiFi > Select Advanced
From Advanced Choose DNS tab
Add DNS Server 8.8.8.8
Emulator must be restarted after DNS Server has been added (Thanks to #kapusch)
For Apple Silicon users
as per #bourdier-jonathan
You can fix the Silicon issue here:
Emulator appearing offline on M1 Mac after the last update of arm64-v8a
By replacing the AVD system images you have downloaded with the r02 images. Because It appears r03, r04, and r05 all don't work on m1
Updating my WIFI adapter to resolve DNS on 8.8.8.8 solved the issue for me. It started to happen after an Apple update which messed up the DNS address.
Simply open the AVD Manager and wipe the data of that emulator works for me.
Open Android emulator and go to the Extended Controls. Then go to the setting => proxy(Tab), uncheck "Use Android studio HTTP proxy setting" and click "Apply".
macOS: long Story short.. make sure your DNS settings 8.8.8.8 is the first in line, wipe your data and do a cold boot.
Reminder: the Android Emulator internet connection does not work if you turn on a VPN system on you computer.
I experienced this same issue after upgrade. Upon opening the Chrome browser in the emulator, google.com could no longer be reached.
I found a post on SO that suggested the problem was with the emulator trying to use a disconnected network adapter. For me the problem was occurring when I was connected to a LAN. Disabling the wireless LAN adapter fixed the issue.
To disable the adapter:
Navigate to Network connections
Find the adapter
Right click and choose disable
I've resolved wiping data from AVD Manager
This happend to me when the emulator froze and I had to kill the process. The signal icon always showed the small "x" as in the screenshot and no internet connection was successful.
The only thing that helped was uninstalling and reinstalling the emulator (not the AVD images)
In Android Studio:
Tools-> Android -> SDK Manager
Uncheck "Android Emulator" and let it uninstall then check again and let it install again.
I am also facing the same problem, but I am trying to solve the problem using various posts. Today I discovered this problem. Your computer configuration is most likely the problemm, not Android Studio and the Android Emulator.
The problem is coming from your Network setup. Just set the Primary DNS Server to 8.8.8.8, which will solve the problem.
I got a simple and permanent solution for this issue in windows.
Go to network and internet option->
click on Etherenet or wifi(for which you are connected) option ->
Click on change adapter option ->
Right click on the network for which you have connected.
A dialog box will be opened and just click on Internet protocal version (TCP/IPv4) option.
Another dialog box will be opened and there just neglect the first set about the IP address (Keep as it is set) and click radio button of Use the following DNS server addresses: and enter as 8.8.8.8 in Preferred DNS server: and 8.8.4.4 in Alternate DNS server:
Now you can open your emulator whenever and you will get internet in the android emulators.
For me the problem was caused when I took my laptop home without restarting the emulator. From what I have read, when the emulator starts up it reads your PC's DNS settings and uses them. When I was on my home network, my work DNS settings were failing.
So yeah. Just restarting the emulator solved my problem.
This was a problem for me last time the emulator updated itself and back then disabling other network adapters fixed it. Now it's cropped up again but the only adapter that is enabled is a single wifi one so I have nothing to disable.
The issue only reappeared after I updated via a prompt the emulator tools to 26.1.1. I uninstalled and reinstalled the emulator via the SDK Tools update tab and thankfully the only option when installing again right now is to install 26.0.3 (which seems to be working okay).
Moral of the story is to be very wary of emulator updates.
I faced this problem after i kept my emulator ON while going from my home to a cafe. "Cold Boot Now" fixed the issue.
After 10 days of trouble, I just deleted everything from C:\Android\.android\ and deleted all created AVDs. Now internet seems to work fine.
closing the emulator and reopening worked for me
OS
WINDOWS 10
Just goto AVD manager and Cold Boot Now worked for me
I can make it work after turn off and turn on the wifi on android config
Please go through the below link.
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-networking
Emulator open, click More ..., and then click Settings and Proxy. From here, you can define your own HTTP proxy settings.
Enter the hostname by following
Run > cmd > hostname
Finally, check the internet access inside the emulator by browsing in chrome or google.
Note: Often wipe data will clear the issue. Please follow all steps
I am on android studio 3.1 and it happened.
Solved it by restarting the adb server
$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server
Hope it helps. Thank you
There was a problem for me too, by disabling the proxy in Android Studio settings, and run the emulator with "Cold Boot Now", the problem was resolved.
Solution for MacOS that does not use a custom DNS for your whole machine
Step 1
Locate the emulator executable Android Studio is using inside the Android SDK and rename it to emulator-original.
Mine is located /usr/local/share/android-sdk/emulator/emulator but it might vary based on individual setups.
Step 2
Add a new file called emulator in the place of the original file containing the following command (or using your DNS server of choice).
#!/bin/bash
$0-original "$#" -dns-server 8.8.8.8
Step 3
Make the new emulator file executable.
chmod +x emulator
Step 4
Restart the emulator using Android Studio.
if android browser can access internet
you can run emulator from terminal
by this command
go to SDK path then
$ /tools/emulator -avd
Nexus_5X_API_23 -netdelay none -netspeed full
it solve your internet problem...
I was having the same issue and i resolved with below steps:-
Go to emulator setting and then go to
setting->Proxy->Either configure it Manually or use Tick use Android Studio HTTP proxy simulator.
please vote, if this works for you
Try these steps once, they worked for me:
Disconnect your PC from the internet
Close the emulator while you are still disconnected
Again connect to the internet
Finally start your emulator again
Just recreating the emulator with another target API worked for me
Maybe you set a proxy for Android Studio and the proxy does not work. Try without proxy.
I am looking for a way to debug a device remotely over the Internet.
I am getting a lot of bug reports from my users which I can't even reproduce. It would be easy to solve them if I could debug the device over the Internet as if it were connected to my PC.
Is this possible?
I heard about debugging over wifi in local network, maybe there is similar way to achieve it over the Internet?
It is possible to setup Android device for debugging over Internet, however it requires USB connection to enable it or root access on the device. In addition to that you will have to setup port forwarding to device to accept incoming ADB connections from the the Internet. It hardly can help unless users of your app are developers with great desire to cooperate.
You can find detailed instructions here:
http://www.cleansoft.lv/debugging-android-applications-remotely/
Steps to Follow:
First In Android Settings Application go to About Device option.
Click 9 times on Build Number option, so that you can unlock Developer Options setting.
Now In you Setting's Application, you will have Developer Options enabled, go and click on it.
set following options on : Stay Awake, USB Debugging and if you have Internet Adb option in menu set that also enabled if not then dont worry continue the steps.
Now open your Android Studio and the application you want to run on the android device.
In Android Studio, at bottom click on Terminal tab, Terminal window opens.
Now through your terminal go to the directory where your Android SDK is stored
In SDK directory go to platform-tools directory.
Now if you list the files in the platform-tools you will see adb there.
Running following Commands.
as an example.
adb connect <ip-address-of-your-device>:5555
as an example:
adb connect 10.10.0.21:5555
The terminal should show something like below
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*
connected to 10.10.0.21:5555
Now run shell command
adb shell
you will get the prompt something like this, i my case i used android x86 device for debugging.
shell#x86_64:/$
Now if you go to the task bar in the android studio and click on Run options and then Run'app' you will be able to see the device as your Deployment Target.
Hope it helps !
You can use Crashlytics in your app.. It helps you to get the detailed crash logs. Whenever an app crashes, it will send you the detailed crash report, from which you can figure out what is happening at the client side.
Get more info about adding crashlytics to the app from here.
Send this new app to the client so can have workaround:
You can also use adb via tcp ip:
adb connect ip:port
Use a remote access (teamviewer or droid apk) to enable debugging in android developer tools.
In the router where the android is connected remember to create port forwards to the android ip.
In your machine with adb installed do:
adb connect public_ip:port
After being connected, you can do:
adb logcat
or
adb shell
Or any adb command you want to.
