升级Android Studio最新补丁后找不到Android Device Monitor选项求助

Hey there! Let me clear this up for you — this isn’t a bug with the latest Android Studio patch. The Android Device Monitor (ADM) has been intentionally removed from newer versions of Android Studio, as it’s been deprecated and replaced by more modern, integrated tools.

Here’s what you need to know and the alternatives available:

• Why it’s gone: Google started phasing out ADM back in Android Studio 3.1, and it’s no longer included in recent updates. The tool was outdated, and the team focused on building better, more integrated features directly into the IDE.
• Replacements for key ADM features:
  • Logcat & Device Management: Use the built-in Logcat panel (found at the bottom of Android Studio) for viewing device logs, and the Device File Explorer (go to View > Tool Windows > Device File Explorer) to browse and manage files on your connected devices — this is more streamlined than ADM’s file browser.
  • Performance Monitoring: The Profiler (View > Tool Windows > Profiler) replaces ADM’s performance tools. It lets you track CPU, memory, network, and battery usage in real time with far more detailed insights.
  • Database Inspection: For viewing SQLite databases on devices, use the Database Inspector (View > Tool Windows > Database Inspector) — it’s fully integrated and lets you run queries directly in the IDE.
  • Layout Debugging: The Layout Inspector (View > Tool Windows > Layout Inspector) takes over ADM’s layout hierarchy viewing, with interactive previews and better debugging tools.
• If you really need ADM (not recommended): You can still launch it manually from your Android SDK directory. Navigate to <your SDK path>/tools/monitor and run the executable. Note that this tool is no longer maintained, so it might have compatibility issues with newer Android versions or devices.
