Permission denied on ADB

Question

I am using Ubuntu 64 bit Ubuntu 14.4 LTS. When I am trying get Android Device Monitor from android Studio "Initialising ADB" dialog shows forever.

Event Log error is

IllegalArgumentException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/home/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb": error=13, Permission denied

Im using JDK java-7-oracle

Im getting list of devices on

adb devices

from terminal.

Can anyone help me?

Most probably it is USB permissions issue please see this -> stackoverflow.com/questions/14460656/… — Arshad, Commented Mar 28, 2016 at 12:56

Try all these:

confirm that you get adb version by typing adb version in console. If working check the adb which is running is from/home/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb. use which adb for this.
Check AVD manager and check that android tools are installed.
Check that adb wasn't installed by other user.
Install IA32 if you are using 64 bit architecture.
Check permission for android sdk folder. if not give chmod -R 777 platform-tools.
Check platform-tools folder is added to your path.

Try Try!
