Connection with adb was interrupted You may want to manually restart adb from the Devices view

Question

I am using Windows 7 and JDK 6.

I downloaded the package of Android SDK with Eclipse and followed the instructions to create the first Hello World application.

However, when I stand on MainActiviy.java and click on run I get the following error in the console:

Connection with adb was interrupted You may want to manually restart adb from the Devices view.

I tried many answers that I saw here: 1. Restart adb server 2. Make sure that the path is to the correct JDK 3. I went over preferences and didn't see any warning or error.

I can run the emulator- and it works fine. But it doesn't run the Hello World application.

What is wrong?

Answer 1

I had to go to DDMS view, and in view menu of the devices, to choose:

restart ADB.

This made everything work fine

Answer 2

Here are followed list of options what you can do to try to fix that issue:

• Run: adb kill-Server , after adb start-Server
• Try to disable and after set enable USB debugging on device. While doing that pulling out the USB cable and putting it back in also helps.
• Just wait, sometimes it happens if it up slowly and Eclipse drop this error.
• Try to kill adb.exe through Task Manager. It will restart by different way.

• You can try to up performance to your Eclipse (mostly for Android):

  open eclipse.ini and set:

   -Xms128m        
   -Xmx512m         
   -XX:MaxPermSize=256m`
  

• try to disable firewall

• Uninstall previous versions of JRE or JDK (if you have ones in additional to new that you currently use). After, restart Eclipse
• Does DDMS see your emulator? Try to restart adb through DDMS
• Also add (if still you didn't) ADB to global path: My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System settings -> Environment Variables -> press New... name: ADB; value: <your android SDK path>\platform-tools. after add to path %ADB%

Answer 3

Expanding on Dejel's answer above with one change:

1. Window -> Open Perspective -> DDMS (DDMS could be in the "Other..." section)
2. Window -> Show View -> Devices (if not already visible on the left pane)
3. Under the view-meny (little downward-pointing triangle on "Devices" header) choose "Reset adb" (Restart may have been renamed to "reset" in newer versions).
