“Unable to locate adb” bug via Android Studio

Question

0

I'm 2 months into Android Studio,I run the latest version(4.0.1 for Windows 64-bit) to be precise and also run the latest gradle offline build dependencies. So far,I've setup my Android Sdk well enough and the Platform_tools folder is up to date(including the full adb setup) But each time i try to run my Emulator(Nexus 5 API 21), i get an Error

The first thing it tells me is "unable to locate adb" then it shows me a file showing: "The ADB binary found at C:\Users\CHINEZ\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe is obsolete and has seriousperformance problems with the Android Emulator.Please update to a newer version to get significantly faster app/file transfer.(it as well partly displays the emulator)

Then at event log it shows me "Emulator: emulator: ERROR: AdbHostServer.cpp:102: Unable to connect to adb daemon on port: 5037"

I have tried all adb related solutions on this site like;

*Avast virus chest *Deleting and replacing the android platform_tools Unchecking and deleting the older sdk versions *Selecting use detected adb location *Deleting and and running the AVD and so many other things...but none of them worked for me Even watched a lot of youtube videos,all to no avail

Please can anyone help with other possible solutions to this bug that i can try on?

Solution

If the installed version is too old, download and install the latest version of adb.

From Android Debug Bridge (adb):

adb is included in the Android SDK Platform-Tools package. You can download this package with the SDK Manager, which installs it at android_sdk/platform-tools/. Or if you want the standalone Android SDK Platform-Tools package, you can download it here.

I've downloaded both the new standalone adb you just sent now and the new platform tools already,installed in the directed location,still didn't solve the issue

Do you have more than one installed version of adb?

[Chinez]

No,only one is currently installed on my system

[harrymc]

Check the Properties of the file C:\Users\CHINEZ\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb‌​.exe under Details to verify that it's the latest version.

[Chinez]

Checked, Adb version - 1.0.41, version 30.0.4-6686687.I believe that's the latest?

[harrymc]

This seems the latest. Check in Task Manager if there isn't some other adb.exe already running. Perhaps you could uninstall your version and try the one from SDK Manager.

[Chinez]

I checked task manager,I didn't even see any adb.exe running. I uninstalled my version and installed this one directly from sdk manager today

What to do next?

As a last resort, I would uninstall everything using Revo Uninstaller Freeware, then install Android Studio and use SDK Manager to install adb.
