I'm running Eclipse: Helios. Here's the issue. When I leave my Android Emulator running for about 20 minutes while I'm programming, if I try to install and run my application, I receive this error in the console:
[2011-07-12 12:27:55 - DatePrinter] Failed to install DatePrinter.apk on device 'emulator-5554': Connection refused: connect
[2011-07-12 12:27:55 - DatePrinter] java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
[2011-07-12 12:27:55 - DatePrinter] Launch canceled!
If I close the emulator and run the project again, a new emulator launches and the console shows the emulator starting but the app does not install and the emulator does not show up in DDMS.
If I go to the terminal and type in adb devices, I get this error message
ADB Server didn't ACK
*failed to start daemon*
error cannot connect to daemon
The only way I can fix it that I've found is to close eclipse, kill the adb.exe process and restart eclipse.
Any ideas what could be causing this error/how to debug it?
Edit: Starting the emulator through SDK manager does not yield any positive results either.
Edit 2: Running adb kill-server and adb start-server yields the same message "ADB Server didn't ACK" although it prints a "daemon not started, starting it now on port 5037" right before that.
