Android hierarchyviewer unable to load window data

Question

I\'m trying to use the hierarchyviewer tool to see the layout of my Android app.

I can run hierarchyviewer, and see the emulator running. I click on

Answer 1

In my case it was a carriage return character (U+000D) in one of my TextViews which prevented the hierarchyviewer from loading the window data.

These thinks do not help in this case:

• cleaning the project
• deploying the app not in debug-mode
• closing eclipse
• running adb kill-server && adb start-server
• trying other views like com.android.settings.Settings or com.android.development.Development (which worked fine)
