Troubleshooting: Fixing the ADB Not Found Error in Android Studio Canary 4.1

Experiencing the "ADB not found" error in Android Studio Canary 4.1 can be frustrating, especially when you're eager to test your app on a real device or an emulator. This issue can commonly interrupt your workflow, so here we’ll discuss some possible solutions to get you back on track.

What is ADB?

Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a versatile command-line tool that allows you to communicate with a device. Whether you're running applications, shell commands, or managing device files, ADB is critical for numerous development and debugging tasks.

Possible Causes

The "ADB not found" error in Android Studio can occur due to several reasons such as:

Missing or incorrect ADB path in your system settings.

Corrupt or outdated ADB binaries.

Conflict with other installed software.

Solutions

Here are some steps to resolve this issue:

Check Android SDK Path

The first step is to ensure that your Android SDK path is correctly set up in Android Studio.

Open Android Studio.

Go to File > Project Structure > SDK Location.

Confirm that the Android SDK Location is correctly pointing to your SDK directory.

Verify ADB Location

Navigate to the SDK directory to verify ADB is present.

Open your file explorer and navigate to the SDK location.

Inside the platform-tools folder, confirm that adb.exe (Windows) or adb (Mac/Linux) exists.

Re-install Platform Tools

Corrupt or missing ADB files are a common issue. To fix this:

In Android Studio, go to SDK Manager (Tools > SDK Manager).

Click on SDK Tools tab.

Uncheck the box next to Android SDK Platform-Tools and click OK to uninstall it.

Once uninstalled, re-check the box to re-install the Platform-Tools.

Update Environment Variables

For Windows:

Open Control Panel > System and Security > System.

Click on Advanced System Settings, and then on Environment Variables.

Find the Path variable in the System variables section.

Add the path to your Android SDK's platform-tools directory.
