Google has officially removed the Memory Monitor tool in the Android studio 3+ and brings new Tool that is Memory Profile.

From the documentation for the tool:

To open Memory Profiler, follow these step:

1. Click View > Tool Windows > Android Profiler (you can also click Android Profiler in the toolbar).
   2. Select the device and app process you want to profile from the Android Profiler toolbar. If you've connected a device over USB but don't see it listed, ensure that you have enabled USB debugging.
   3. Click anywhere in the MEMORY timeline to open the Memory Profiler.

See the Google's Official Statement.

Answer 2

adb seems to be deprecated in android studio 3.1. On Ubuntu I can run adb from the command line using Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb and I can run the Device Monitor using Android/Sdk/tools/monitor. More information may be available at https:/developer.android.com/studio/profile/monitor.html

You can use Android Profiler if you want to measure app performance and inspect activity for CPU, RAM and Network instead of using ADB Integration.

In my case, after update android studio separated that field from tools and located it at bottom-right corner.

Answer 6

In my case, Android Studio 3.5.2, the location of the NDK bundle was not set in Preferences. To set NDK location, File -> Project Settings -> SDK Location then look for second field Android NDK Location. Once I provided the folder location for NDK bundle, Android Studio synced gradle again and built the app and showed all Android options under Tools.
