I have recently shifted to android studio. I would like to know how I can test my apps in Bluestacks app player. I had already had the bluestacks connected and working with eclipse using adb connect localhost:5555 but it doesn't seem to work with android studio. Didn't find any help anywhere. If anyone has done this, please help.
