Android Emulator not seen in Device Chooser

android, android-emulator

Solution

It is happening sometimes; I am also facing this issue.

I am always trying kill-server & start-server

You can find ADB under SDK_Folder/platform-tools

First do

./adb kill-server

then

./adb start-server

and check

./adb devices

Problem

I have a weird problem here. When I start an Emulator, it starts up after sometime but it is not shown in the Android Device Chooser(some times it is shown). Has anyone encountered this situation before? Here is a screen shot of the situation. As you can see, one emulator is running on port 5554 (GingerBreadGoogleAPI), but the Device Chooser shows no emulator or device is connected. The cmd `./adb devices` does not list any device. I am running Linux 3 kernel on Kubuntu OS with 2GB RAM. One solution (which I do) is to simply start another emulator. But I dont want a solution for the problem, instead I want to know why this is happening.
