Question

I am experiencing a problem with android emulator as described @
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3986202/exception-after-starting-emulator-ddms-null
Can someone help me ??

Here is snippet of the URL:

After I start the emulator or AVD, in the eclipse Console window I see:

[2010-10-21 14:03:46 – ddms]Exception
during activity from Selector.
[2010-10-21 14:03:46 – ddms]null
java.lang.NullPointerException at

at
com.android.ddmlib.MonitorThread.processDebuggerActivity(MonitorThread.java:455)
at
com.android.ddmlib.MonitorThread.run(MonitorThread.java:266)

The message is continuously printed and my system nearly hangs. Can someone help ?

Answer 1

I saw the following message in this conversation in the Android Developers Google Group:

This can happen when a process is terminated on the device and ddms attempts to close its connection to it.

You can safely ignore this exception, this is purely on the ddms side, and has no impact on your processes running on the device.

The fix has already been implemented and will be part of the next release."
