Android Studio - Android Device Monitor - Empty View

android, android-studio, ddms

Solution

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.

Problem

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 View->(Any View), and even re-installing Android Studio but nothing shows up. Does anyone know how to reset the Device Monitor back to it's default views? (With the devices on the left, and the heap/threads/allocation views on the right.) Thanks for your help!
