Genymotion Virtual Android Machine not showing up

[RewindJAA]

I have been having a few problems getting the Android Studio virtual machine to run, so decided to give Genymotion's virtual machine a try.

I can get it running; Hoorah.

I can get the Genymotion icon showing in Android Studio using the sequence:

To install the Genymotion plugin for Android Studio

1. In Android Studio, go to File/Settings (for Windows and Linux) or to Android Studio/Preferences (for Mac OS X)
2. Select Plugins and click Browse Repositories.
3. Right-click on Genymotion and click Download and install. To see Genymotion plugin icon, display the toolbar by clicking View > Toolbar.

I get the Genymotion Virtual Device up and running in the backgroud, it looks great.

So now I click the 'Play' button in Andoid Studio to debug my code. It goes to the 'Select Deployment Target' dialog box, but my running Genymotion device is not there.

How can I get my Genymotion Virtual Android device showing in this dialog?

OK, I have managed to find a solution myself. Yah boo sucks to all the naysayers who have poo pooed the 'click everything and hope' method of problem solving.

You must get the Genymotion showing up in Android Studio as mentioned in my OP.

NOTE: I had a Genymotion free account with Personal Use and Development in the selection boxes.

THEN you must close Android Studio and open Genymotion.

1. Click the Settings cogwheel.
2. Click the ADB tab.
3. Click 'Use Custom Android SDK tools'.
4. Browse and find your SDK folder. Mine was C:/Users/[My Account]/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk

Then everything works like a charm. If I get any more problems I will let everyone know.
