First my emulator is too slow to work properly. I'm already frustrated because of it. So I closed that emulator and stated another(by running the application). But now my emulator is not showing in DDMS and every-time I run the application it creates new emulator rather than using existing. So I'm not able to run the application on emulator. If I connect a device then the device is showing in DDMS and working properly, but not my emulator. And please don't tell me to restart emulator, eclipse etc. Because, already a lot of times I have tried it(even restarting PC), but its useless.

Try running the emulator via the command line with the parameter -verbose, might give you some information on the issue.

    Try using the “Reset adb” option from the DDMS Devices view menu, or restarting the server at the command line: 1 adb kill-server 2 adb start-server If that does not work, then try this instead: Start Emulator, wait for it to come up, then type the following 1 adb kill-server 2 adb logcat -c – John Nov 02 '12 at 14:37
  • Do you have any command line experience, if so try running the above commands. You will need to navigate to the directory that adb.exe is located before running commands. – John Nov 02 '12 at 14:49

I understand that the emulator speed is too slow. If You want to start the same emulator, You may choose it explicitly. If you are using eclipse Right click your project -> Properties-> Run Debug Settings -> Click on your project name -> Edit -> and choose 'Always prompt to pick device' . So now everytime you build your project, you can choose the same emulator. Hope this helps!!!

  • thanks for the advice, but the problem is my emulator is not showing in DDMS means, it is also not shown in the available running devices when it is prompted to choose device :) –  Nov 02 '12 at 14:29

    Okay. I assume that the emulator is not listed in the AVD manager. Try this : If you are using linux or mac osX. 0. open terminal 1. Become superuser. 2. Go to ur android-sdk platform tools directory. 3. Do adb kill-server 4. Then adb start-server. – Danyal Nov 02 '12 at 14:34
  • again thanks for advice, but i'm using windows xp 32 bit. So I think above suggestions can't be tried by me :) :) –  Nov 02 '12 at 14:44
  • 1. Go to Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) 2.look for adb.exe and end the process. Now restart the emulator ,should work properly. taken from : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5343670/adb-server-not-responding – Danyal Nov 02 '12 at 14:49

I solved this issue by removing the path to platform-tools from my bashrc file.

In Mac OSx, you need to go Run-> Edit Configuration and you need to tick use the same devices for future
