Should I be associated with a DDMS message in the Eclipse console area?

Question

After many hours, I finally installed the correct version of Eclipse (3.6.2), SDK (16.0.1), and the ADT plugin for eclipse. I was able to "connect" the SDK starter kit without any problems. Then, when I went to install the latest API 4.0.3 (window → SDK manager ...), the following message appeared at the bottom of the console window (headed by "DDMS"):

[2011-12-30 16:23:03 - DDMS] DDMS files not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse\platform-tools\adb.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse\tools\hprof-conv.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse\tools\traceview.bat [2011-12-30 16:47:18 - DeviceMonitor] Adb connection Error:An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host [2011-12-30 16:47:19 - DeviceMonitor] Connection attempts: 1 

I believe something is looking for DDMS in the eclipse folder, not the Android folder. If this is a problem or not, how can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

BTW I am using Windows 7 (64 bit)

Answer 1

First of all, check if these files exist or not. If they are not there, you will have problems during the installation, and the best way is to reinstall the SDK.

However, if you find these files there than you can restart adb, it means eclipse. In extreme cases, a computer.

Thanks to all of you, I also fixed all my mistakes, including some of those listed here. Someone on another site also recommended the following, which fixed most (if not all) of my errors:

"Try changing the timeout of the ADB connection. I think the default is 5000 ms, and I changed mine to 10000 ms to get rid of this problem. If you are in Eclipse, you can do this by going through Window → Preferences, and then this is in DDMS for Android. "

In my case, I had to go to the next one (in Eclipse, of course)

Windows-> Settings-> Android-> DDMS

I had the same problems with "DDMS files not found ...". I fixed this by making sure that the Android SDK path is set correctly in Eclipse (which is "C: \ Program Files \ Android \ android-sdk" on my machine). This can be done in Eclipse-> Windows-> Preferences-> Android-> SDK Location. Please note: if you are using Windows 7, it is better to start Eclipse and SDK Manager with the option "Run as administrator".

I am running the 32-bit version of Windows 7, Eclipse Indigo SR1, Android SDK r16.
