Can't Open Android Device Monitor - Reinstall?


Like others, when I open Android Device Monitor I get the error:

"An error has occurred. See the log file C:\Users\Me.android\monitor-workspace.metadata.log."

When I looked in the log file, the error was:

!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.android.ddmuilib.logcat.LogCatPanel.updateUnreadCount(LogCatPanel.java:1212)

I tried some quick solutions others found:

This worked until just yesterday, so I am worried I may have accidentally uninstalled or deleted something (just did some clean-up).

How can I reinstall Android Device Monitor?


Solution

  • I opened SDK Manager and deleted the most recent 3 tools, then I reinstalled them. That seems to have fixed it. It did take a while, so it might be worth trying only uninstalling the most recent set of tools.
