Opening SDK Monitor "Windows Cannot find "lib\monitor-location""

This issue is driving me nuts, I want to monitor apps on the android but I keep getting this error when I try to open Monitor in the tools folder. I've tried the Unity installed version and I've downloaded Android Studio to use it's version and it does the exact same thing.

I've run CMD as administrative, i've changed files from read only. I cannot find the answer on google

EDIT: Apparently, Monitor has been deprecated. Apparently you use the adb logcat in CMD. Good to know. lol

 

how do you do it?

 

Assuming you are on windows, open a CMD window. Go to the directory where adb.exe is located e.g.:
cd C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.4.17f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\tools

Then run logcat as follows:
adb logcat | findstr -i unity

Note: This will also show all of your Debug.Log() entries. If you don't want to see those, you can also do this:
adb logcat -s Unity

 

Hi there, I was also facing the same issue as the gentleman earlier and doing this doesn't do much, some text shows up on the command like like this.



A year back, I was using monitor.bat and it was working fine but somewhere down the line it stopped working I guess. Do you have any solution to this?

 

Hello,
I'm also facing the same issue: the Monitor Batch File in the Android SDK doesn't open, since 'lib\monitor-location' can't be found. Has there been a solution since the last posts?

 

I was trying to access monitor from the Monitor Batch File in the Android SDK and I received the same error ('lib\monitor-location' can't be found). Try open the monitor.exe if the aim is to access Android Device Monitor.

I was getting error when was trying to run monitor.bat "Windows cannot find 'lib\monitor-location'...." and even .exe files of minor didn't work.

I came up with going to the location of adb.exe IN CMD (!!!):

C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.7f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\platform-tools

and run adb logcat | findstr -i unity

 

I had the same problem (Win 11, Unity 2020.3.43f1) and I actually solved it by installing latest Java JRE.

You can also try to run monitor.exe file directly located in C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2020.3.43f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64\. Running that file actually gave me an error regarding missing JAVA. When I was running monitor.bat in ....AndroidPlayer\SDK\Tools I was given the message described in this thread

 

I solve is by adding JAVA_HOME variable to same install editor openJDK path

 

I had the same problem but when I installed Java I could run the .bat file just fine. Although I don't know why.
