Unable to send DDM chunk 46454154: handler not defined - Eclipse - Android SDK

Question

I am working on a machine with Windows 7, 64 bit and just downloaded and installed the Android SDK, and I use Eclipse with the Android plugin.

I was just looking through the "Hello Android" manual: Hello Android

I also made suggestions on this page: Droid FAQs

Before following the FAQ, the program will compile and run, but will not be registered in the emulator. No code changes, and now I get the following.

When I try to start the emulator, I get the following message:

[2010-03-05 20:48:41 - HelloAndroid]ActivityManager: Can't dispatch DDM chunk 46454154: no handler defined [2010-03-05 20:48:41 - HelloAndroid]ActivityManager: Can't dispatch DDM chunk 4d505251: no handler defined [2010-03-05 20:48:42 - HelloAndroid]ActivityManager: Starting: Intent { comp={domain.example.helloandroid/domain.example.helloandroid.HelloAndroid} } [2010-03-05 20:48:42 - HelloAndroid]ActivityManager: Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front 

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by this, it won’t register in the emulator, but I get the same error message every time the program starts. However, he did not stop my programs from compiling and working on my emulator and the actual phone.

(Edit: I have to add that I compile using Eclipse with Android v1.5 and 2.1 installations, and these messages appear in LogCat when I run programs on my v1.5 emulator. I did not check using v2.1)

As for the second two lines in the error message, in particular, Activity not started, it is simply because you did not change the code before trying to install it again. A simple fix for this is to remove the character (something is true) and then reinsert it. This forces him to "rebuild the workspace" while saving, which, in turn, forces him to reinstall on the emulator.
