com.android.ddmlib.SyncException: Too many open files

Question

When I attempt to run my application in Eclipse on my device, I've started getting alot of com.android.ddmlib.SyncException: Too many open files exceptions/errors in the console.

Why is this and what does it mean? What can I do to stop this?

Answer 1

Switch DEBUG USB off and on again. It works for me. It seems to be some sort of problem with USB sync when debuggin in my device.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Essentially, that means you have a memory problem. More than likely it is a leak.

First restart your phone and verify you are still getting the error. If so you are going to need to start digging in your code and find out where you are leaking!

Answer 3

When you install and test your application many times on a phone, you may get this error message.

Unplug the phone from the USB cable and then plug it in again.
