Android Studio 1.2 beta version hangs on debugging

I’ve just upgraded Android Studio from version 1.0 to 1.2 beta and I can no longer perform any kind of debug operation. If I set a break point, Android Studio hangs and it can’t resolve the command:

Waiting until last debugger command completes

but it never completes.

So, is it possible to downgrade to the previous stable version (1.0) without downloading again?

Thanks!

First Solution

1-Click file menu

2-Click Invalidate Caches / Restart

3-Click Invalidate And Restart

note : work in the same session only.

Second Solution

-Use GenyMotion Emulator With Android Version 5 or up.

Third Solution

-Use Android Studio 1.1 in my job my teammate use this version and it's okay .

the new debugger add variable value beside it in debugging steps it may cause the problem .

imagine that you watch all variables in debugging it should make problem. it's called Inline Debugger

download link to Android Studio 1.1 : http://tools.android.com/download/studio/canary/1-1-0

Third Solution is my own choice at work.

Update: I tried Android Studio 1.3 Preview but still have the same problem.

Update: here in android studio info problem fixed link 1 link 2

It looks like a bug in Android studio. It's reported here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=73828

Here is an answer from Google regarding problems with current versions of Android Studio running with pre M version phones -

This happened to me too.

I am running on a Mac so all I had to do was remove the Android Studio.app from /Applications and reinstall Android Studio although I reinstalled version 1.1.0

I understand that the settings folder name changed from version 1.1.0 to 1.2 so that made the above possible.

Try to restart the Android Studio and the emulator if you're using one. This works for me

I'm still experiencing this problem, after the final release version. I found that restarting my PC solved it (for half of the day). This is not an ideal answer, as you're question is about downgrading, but if you're not too bothered at restarting your PC maybe twice a day, you might want to hang onto 1.2 till they fix it.

Latest Android Studio changelog says it is fixed in version 1.3 Preview 3.

Hooray!

I have experienced the very same behaviour (Android Studio blocking in debug) and discovered that it does not seem to occur when using Nexus 7 with Android 5.1 installed. It does reproducibly occur on a SAMSUNG SM-T110 with Android 4.2.2. I habe never tested with an emulator however. This could mean, that the target device might be responsible for the hang.

Just unplug your USB connected device does the trick for me!
