This is quite annoying actually. Whenever there is an error, the ADB console windows keep popping into my face in Eclipse. The Hierarchy viewer, the DDMS and the Android console “fight” for being shown even if I close the views.
I tried to find switches in the preferences but in vain. Also, these windows don’t have the usual “Show when…” buttons.
Is there any way to turn these off? Thanks in advance.

Android Issue 40123: SDK Eclipse DDMS console is stealing the focus when there is an error
I found it in the DDMS plugin source. Basically, if there is an error message, then the console is automatically popped up. The switch button to prevent this is not implemented at all. I have a library project that does not produce an apk file (since it doesn’t have to) at the end of the build process and adt cries about this.
