Apply Changes Button Grayed out: Android Studio

Question

I have set up my project's minSdkVersion as 15 and enabled Instant Run .
I have deployed the app in my device running on API 21 But the "Apply Changes" button is grayed out.When I hover over the button it says "No Active 'App' launch" although I am running the app in my device at that time .

open task manager and check if adb.exe is running or not. if not, restart the process from this path: your sdk> platform-tools> adb.exe – Vantage

Answer 1

According to the guide, you also need to choose the debug build variant.

To start using Instant Run, you also need to change the build variant to a debug version of your app and deploy it to a target device running Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher.

Your answer is outdated.. Your guide now says: Apply Changes uses capabilities in the Android JVMTI implementation that are supported on devices running Android 8.0 (API level 26) or higher. – Orna

Answer 2

By default, Instant Run is disable when you first install Android Studio. So you need to enable it by following this path :- File/Settings/Build, Execution, Deployment/InstantRun and checked the Enable InstantRun check box.
