Can't run a simple 'hello world' app

Question

When I'm trying to run the app, it says: Unable to locate adb

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to locate adb

I've read a lot of posts regarding the missing adb.exe file and the adb.exe simply does not exist in the path .../platform-tools/adb.exe

how can I get it/fix it?

Answer 1

The adb.exe file will be located at your Android SDK folder, inside platform-tools

...\android-sdk-path\platform-tools\adb.exe

The default location where Android SDK is installed is:

C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\

So adb will be located at:

C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe

Answer 2

adb是Android调试桥工具，位于Android / SDK / platform-tools目录中.....如果缺少ADB，则可以从此链接下载Google提供的Android平台工具

Answer 3

You need to select/install the Android SDK Platform-tools. Go to Tools > Android SDK platform tools . After doing this, try to build again. It should work.

If the above does not solve the problem, try reinstalling the tools: open the "Standalone SDK manager" and uninstall the Android SDK platform-tools, delete the [your sdk directory]/platform-tools directory completely and install it again using the SDK manager.

Hope this helps!
