Sending jdwp tracking request failed!

Question

I got this message in the DDMS:

Sending jdwp tracking request failed!

I didn't understand the reasons.

Is there a problem using a stream to get the image from the Internet and use the TabBar cause the use of them in different application didn't launch this errors?

Answer 1

I often get that message when Eclipse is running; however, I see it in the Console view and not DDMS. It happens when I close an emulator it was linked to (e.g. the LogCat view was showing its log messages). It's never stopped me from actually developing or being able to install applications onto another emulator though. Restarting Eclipse has also always fixed that message.

Answer 2

This error is mostly result of incorrect permissions set for "ddms/android" scrips residing in "your sdk location/tools".

If you are getting only

Sending tracking request failed!

error then change the permissions assigned to "tools/android". To do that open the directory "your sdk location/tools/" using file browser. You should see a file named android, right click-> properties -> permissions tab -> select allow executing and program. [chmod].

If your error is

Sending jdwp tracking request failed!

then you need to apply same procedure described above for "your sdk location/tools/ddms"
