in my case there is no such log... that means Android studio just killing/wasting my hours SILENTLY, without even notifying — Shirish Herwade, Mar 24 '16 at 15:12

I am adding this answer because I think this will be helpful to future visitors.

I ran into the same problem, and managed to solve it. However, My solution is different from the one already mentioned.

First of all, the monitor.ini file is in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64 and config.ini file is in ./configuration folder

When I checked log file it said (at the very end of file) :

java.io.IOException: The folder "C:\Users\.android\monitor-workspace.metadata" is read-only.

So I ran the monitor.exe as Administrator and it worked fine.

Next I ran Android Studio as Admin and the ADM button worked fine.

The config.ini file should specify org.eclipse.core.runtime@start in the osgi.bundles property. Here is the default osgi.bundles property, maybe it was (accidentally) changed during an upgrade:

You need to add the following line to the bottom of the ~~eclipse.ini~~ monitor.ini which is a configuration setting file located in your android-sdk\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64\ folder:

-Dosgi.bundles=org.eclipse.equinox.common@2:start,org.eclipse.update.configurator@3:start,org.eclipse.core.runtime@start

After that, run Android Device Monitor from the same folder where you have made changes instead from Android Studio and right click on monitor with eclipse icon>Run As Administrator

Ref : "Unable to acquire application service" error while launching Eclipse

Sorry but I can not find the config.ini file and no where to look. Edit: Locate and found a config.ini file in the path C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jdk1.7.0_67 \ lib \ MissionControl \ configuration, add the line you indicate but did not work. — kintaro, Oct 17 '14 at 03:29

Insert into search bar "monitor.exe" click up with the right mouse button and run as administrator.

Error log file saying ".android\monitor-workspace\.metadata" is read-only unable to acquire application service.
After the error I saw the folder created by Android studio is called C:\Users\FirstName%20LastName\.android\monitor-workspace\.metadata
The space in the user folder name is a problem.

Make new user account and copy .android and .AndroidStudio2.0 folder to the new user folder. Start Android Studio without "Run as Administrator".

The same eclipse.ini file will be located in Eclipse in this root path of eclipse itself like:

C:\Users\username\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\eclipse\eclipse.ini

The same file will be located in android studio project:-

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64\monitor(Type:Configuration settings)

Edit the file as you want.

I had the same error. For me the reason was in JDK version. Non of JDK7 or JDK9 worked for me. But after installing JDK8 ADM stared normally.
