ADB not responding. You can wait more, or kill "adb.exe" ... windows 8
When I try to test my Android application with an android emulator as always I now suddenly get an error message. I'm working with Windows 8. So far I tried the following things which unfortunately could not solve the problem:
- reinstalling eclipse with android adt
- reinstalling java
- installing "android studios" first solved the problem but after one day mysteriously also here adb, stopped working with the error message given in the title " ADB not responding ...
furthermore I unsuccessfully tried out some advice from Mr. Google:
- Stopping adb.exe via task-manager and restarting eclipse / android studios
- "adb kill-server" then "start-server" via command prompt
- setting the path to adb.exe as an environment variable
- switching off any antivirus or firewall
- starting the IDEs as an administrator
- updating the IDEs
The only thing I can remember doing which may have destroyed adb on my computer for all times: I connected my motorola smartphone to my laptop and installed the motorola usb drivers but as I said the adb also won't work with the emulator.
Any help would be kindly appreciated. The issue bothers me for more than an entire day now. Maybe someone had similar problems on Windows 8 ?
