I have Eclipse Indigo installed on Win7 64bit with the ADT plugin and Android SDK's installed.
An error occurs when I have my emulator open and I try to launch my test application:
Failed to initialize Monitor Thread: Unable to establish loopback connection
I have looked into this error and it most often appears to be a firewall issue but with the firewall turned off I still get the error. Would it have anything to do with me having another Eclipse based IDE installed (Aptana 3)?
Things I have tried so far:
I'm running out of ideas so any help of suggestions would be appreciated.
No need to disable IPV6. Just force Eclipse to use IPV4. Edit eclipse.ini and add the last line:
openFile
-vmargs
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Solution : turn off Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface.
This probably converts IP4 to IPv6 addresses or something, resulting in an IPv6 address for your localhost (strange though, that a PING still results in IP4). Anyway, turning it off (Device manager > View > Show hidden devices > right click on Teredo > disable) solves the problem!
I found out by doing a ipconfig /all in the NON working situation. It showed :
Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:

//edit : I guess it's technically a workaround untill Eclipse supports IPv6
