I am trying to use the Android Device Monitor within Android Studio, but somehow I managed to remove all views.

I have tried resetting the perspectives, Window->Show View->(Any View), and even re-installing Android Studio but nothing shows up.

Android Device Monitor

Does anyone know how to reset the Device Monitor back to it's default views? (With the devices on the left, and the heap/threads/allocation views on the right.)

Thanks for your help!

I've experienced this same problem by using Window -> Reset Perspective. One should expect this to fix this issue, not break it. Go figure.

In any case, the DDMS workspace preferences are stored in %USERPROFILE%\.android\monitor-workspace (e.g. C:\Users\my_user\.android\monitor-workspace).

Just delete that folder and you're good to go.
