Android Studio/IntelliJ ADB Not found

Question

I am having trouble connecting android device with IntelliJ or Android Studio. It was working fine but after I update the Android API Level to 29 I am seeing the issue. When I am trying to connect an Android or Open Device File Explorer, I am seeing the below error. I am using Intellij Ultimate 2019.3.3.

On running echo $PATH I am see this and I am able to run the adb command from command line:

/usr/local/opt/ruby@2.5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Public:/opt/X11/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/Commands:/Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS:/Users/nihardongara/Seller/member_mobile_rn_upgrade/node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/Users/nihardongara/.nvm/versions/node/v12.14.0/bin:/Users/nihardongara/.yarn/bin:/usr/local/opt/ruby@2.5/bin:/Users/nihardongara/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/platform-tools

Answer 1

Changing the Java SDK level to 1.8 fixed it surprisingly.

Project Structure -> Platform Settings -> SDKs -> Edit the Android SDK
