Eclipse DDMS error “Can't bind to local 8600 for debugger”

Question

I get the following error in Eclipse:

[timestamp - ddms] Can\'t bind to local 8600 for debugger

Why?

Answer 1

In addition to adding 127.0.0.1 localhost to your hosts file, make the following changes in Eclipse.

Under

Window -> Preferences -> Android -> DDMS

Set Base local debugger port to 8601

Check the box that says Use ADBHOST and the value should be 127.0.0.1 Thanks to Ben Clayton & Doguhan Uluca in the comments for leading me to a solution.
