Android emulator-5554 offline

Question

I\'m having a problem with emulator-5554, it keeps telling me it is offline.

When I do a adb devices from the command line it says

Answer 1

If the emulator is already open or executing it will tell you is offline. You can double check on the Command Line (Ubuntu) and execute:

 adb devices

You must see your emulator offline, you have to close the running instance of the emulator (since the port will show as busy) and after that you can run your application. Hope this helps someone.
