OK, I just ran "adb logcat" and saw something interesting:
"Application com.google.android.demo.notepad3 is waiting for the
debugger on port 8100..."
8100 is not 8700. I'll be the first to admit I'm ignorant here, but
something seems fishy to me.
Eclipse gives me the above message whenever I start it, and the
debugger won't connect to the emulator. I've tried changing the port
(Window menu, choose "Preferences", expand Android, choose DDMS,
change "selected VM debugger port"), but I still get the message about
8700. Do I need to redirect 8700 in the emulator? BTW, I'm working
on the Notepad tutorials. Got all 3 versions running fine, but I
can't run the debugger. I can make Notepadv3 WAIT for the debugger,
but I can't connect.
I'm running Eclipse 3.2.2 on Ubuntu 7.10, with ADT 0.3.1 and DDMS
0.2.1 Plug-ins. I've got 3 strikes against me, in that I'm new to
Linux, new to Java, and (of course) new to Android, but I've got many
years of SW engineering experience. Is there any way to find out what
application IS using port 8700, since I can't seem to effectively make
