Android Studio - Android Device Monitor - Empty View

Question

I am trying to use the Android Device Monitor within Android Studio, but somehow I managed to remove all views.

I have tried resetting the perspectives, Window->Show Vie

Answer 1

I've experienced this same problem by using Window -> Reset Perspective. One should expect this to fix this issue, not break it. Go figure.

In any case, the DDMS workspace preferences are stored in %USERPROFILE%\.android\monitor-workspace (e.g. C:\Users\my_user\.android\monitor-workspace).

Just delete that folder and you're good to go.

Answer 2

On Windows:

1. Go to C:\users\my_user\.android\monitor-workspace)
2. Close android device monitor
3. Delete all files/folders inside of monitor-workspace folder
4. Run android device monitor again

Where "my_user" is your user folder.

Answer 3

Note that you'll need to enable 'show hidden files' in the finder if you are on a mac. Then, the workspace directory is in users/your_username/.android/monitor-workspace.

See http://ianlunn.co.uk/articles/quickly-showhide-hidden-files-mac-os-x-mavericks/ for how to show hidden files.

Answer 4

That screenshot looks like you are running Windows. So, you could go to C:\Users\user3106174\ and delete the directory named .android (or something similar).
