Android Studio 4.0 Layout Inspector isn't working

I can't see any updates in Layout Inspector in the new Android studio (4.0).

My app is targeting API 29, and build tools version is buildToolsVersion '29.0.3'.

I'm running emulator Pixel_2_api_29 and my device MI A3 OS version 10.

And this is all I can see

Simply restarting Android Studio seems to solve the issue.

It seems to be a different issue than what I see in your screenshot but maybe others have this issue, too.

One can sometime notice, the layout fetch seems to have finished but nothing is shown in the inspector. The reason then seems to be the graphical representation and not the inspector itself. So if you get something like this:

where the zoom controls are visible but somehow no layout is appearing, try pressing the "Zoom to fit" button. It then re-scales the view which leads to a redraw. At least in my configuration for devices below API 29 (which have no "Live update") this is necessary in order to see something.

In some cases you can resolve this issue to connect device by name instead of connecting by ip.

Make sure android:hardwareAccelerated="false" isn't in your manifest file.

If you are unable to view the Flutter Inspector and are seeing something like "Installing DevTools" on a Mac system. You have to add following environment variable.

open ~/.bash_profile or open $HOME/.zshrc (depending upon your file system)
Add:

Hierarchy Viewer Variable

export ANDROID_HVPROTO=ddm

source ~/.bash_profile

source ~/.bash_profile or source $HOME/.zshrc

In the tools->SDK Manager window, please verify that Layout Inspector Image Server for API 29-30 is installed.

In case you still face the issue, take a look at the Run window and if you see a dlopen error for a library, add android:extractNativeLibs="true" in your AndroidManifest.xml file.
