Waiting for Target Device to Come Online

Question

I recently updated to Android Studio 2 3  and now when I try to run the application  the emulator does not come online  It times out after 300 seconds   Additionally  The app has been experiencing a FATAL EXCEPTION ERROR  OOM   and I am not sure how to fix that either  or if that is part of the emulator problem    Any help is much appreciated  Again  my knowledge in the program is very limited so if your answer can be kept simple  that would be great

Go to AVD Manager in your Android Studio Right Click on your emulator and then select wipe data Then run your app again  The emulator will perform a clean boot and then install your apk then your app will finally run   Summary AVD Manager---Right Click Emulator----Wipe Data----Run App Again  If the problem presists then simply go back to your avd manager  uninstall emulator then add a new emulator Once the new emulator is added in your avd manager run the emulator   Then run your app  Its much simpler if you have an emulator already running from the onset before running your application for the first time

I had this issue twice and tried everything in this thread with no results  I finally fixed it closing  BlueStacks  emulator   If BlueStacks  and maybe others android emulators  are running when I run the app  by default Android Studio installs the app there  even when I never selected it as a device in AVD Manager  then Android Studio waits for an incorrect device  to come online      Closing BlueStacks  or any other Android emulator  solved the conflict between devices for me   I hope this info helps someone

The problem is that there is no link between ide and the emulator   In our case - we lowered version of android for the app  that frustrated ide  in emulator linking   If we install Android 25 and bind project to it  and AVD Device on Android 25 as well - it links and apllies changes on the fly  If we downgrade to Android 14 and device on android 14 - it doesn t   Used Android Studio 2 3   To play with versions you can set in Gradle Scripts - build gradle  Module  app    android     compileSdkVersion 25   defaultConfig       minSdkVersion 15     targetSdkVersion 15         As a result app won t run on an Android 25 device with a message      Installation failed with message Failed to finalize session   -26    Package ru asv test new target SDK 15 doesn t support runtime   permissions but the old target SDK 25 does   It is possible that this   issue is resolved by uninstalling an existing version of the apk if it   is present  and then re-installing       WARNING  Uninstalling will remove the application data

I too had the same problem  then I went to AVD manager and right click on the emulator and stopped it and I RUN the application again and this time it worked  it may be a temporary solution but works for the time being      AVD manager-  right-click on the emulator you are using -  Stop   Now Run your application again   Note  Sometimes closing the emulator directly is not working for the above-mentioned problem but stopping it from the AVD manager as mentioned is working

Three days on this  and I believe there s a race condition between adb and the emulator  On a request to run an app  with no emulator already running  you see the  Initializing ADB   then the emulator choice  it starts and you get  Waiting for target to come online   An adb kill-server  or a kill -9  or an  End Process  of adb with the task manager will cause adb to die  restart  your APK installs and you re good to go  It does seem funky to me that an  adb kill-server  causes adb to die and then restart here  but that s another mystery  maybe
