'Connect Bluestacks to Android Studio

I have recently shifted to android studio. I would like to know how I can test my apps in Bluestacks app player. I had already had the bluestacks connected and working with eclipse using adb connect localhost:5555 but it doesn't seem to work with android studio. Didn't find any help anywhere. If anyone has done this, please help.

Solution 1:^[1]

I Solved it. I just had to add the path of android studio's platform-tools after removing my earlier eclipse's path. I don't know, maybe some conflict in the command.

Steps to connect Blue Stack with Android Studio

Close Android Studio.
Go to adb.exe location (default location: %LocalAppData%\Android\sdk\platform-tools)
Run adb connect localhost:5555 from this location.
Start Android Studio and you will get Blue Stack as emulator when you run your app.

In my case I don't need to start adb.exe. I only started the BlueStacks before android studio.

After that when I press "Run" in android studio, bluestacks was detected as a new emulator.

world !

No need to do execute batch command. With the current version, just run BLUESTACKS before ANDROID STUDIO

Solution 5:^[5]

In my case, none of the above approaches worked for me till I had to enable an Android DEBUG Bridge Option under the BlueStack emulator. Check the picture below.

An approach inspired from : Vlad Voytenko

I Hope It's Helps Someone!

For those people with (cannot connect to localhost:5555: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061) :

Blustacks is listening at IPv4-Localhost-TCP-5555 (not IPv6). Most of the time Windows has IPv6 enabled by default and Localhost is solving ::1:

If the client (ADB) tries to connect a server using localhost and IPv6 is enabled on the main network adapter, ADB will not connect to the server.

So, you have two options :

1- Change your ADB client TCP connection string to localhost IPV4 : adb connect 127.0.0.1

OR :

2-Disable IPV6 protocol from the main network adapter.

first open bluestacks and go to settings > preferences > check the Enable Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and press Change path button, then select adb path. (default location: %LocalAppData%\Android\sdk\platform-tools)

then install one apk in emulator (by click the installed apps > install apk in bluestacks home screen)

after doing this works run cmd by administrator and got to adb path then run this command:

adb connect localhost:5555

now you can open VSCodde or AndroidStudio and select BlueStacks emulator.

You can easily use it in Bluestacks 5 by going to:

Settings
Advanced
Enable Android Debug Bridge

Solution 9:^[9]

Goto Blustacks settings > Preferences > Check Enable Android Debug Bridge (ADB)
Restart Bluestacks and Start Android Studio
Done

Solution 10:^[10]

These are all old answers, nothing works for me till I finally come out with a solution of my own. for a much later version (I'm using the 5.6x version, latest at the time of posting), just go to Settings in bluestack, click advanced, toggle on DB and run adb connect localhost:[port] with port being the number shown in the ADB information page (the one I underlined). Voila, you should automatically see another mobile device available on the Android Studio
