Android development : ddms from command line not seeing devices

===============================

*SOLVED * : see answer below

I dont want to use Eclipse.

From the command line:

An emulator is running. adb server is running. "adb devices" lists correctly and I can see my instance on an avd in the output.

However when I manually start DDMS from the command line it just keeps trying to connect. I can find no connection config issues.

Any suggestions (other than "use Eclipse") most welcome!

(yes, it works from within eclipse and ddms shows threads etc)

System : Debian Squeeze

Update : I ran update-java-alternatives to be sure java was set up properly for "Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)" . Not too much of a surprise to seasoned Debian users my Java is now worse ... When I run ddms from the command line I get :--

The solution is, in Debian, to force java to use IPv4.

/etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf

net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0

And then from bash

sudo invoke-rc.d procps restart

Also see the Debian bug report for more details.

The IPv4 did not work for me, but plugging the device on a different USB port solved this issue (via Android device not showing up in DDMS)

Adding this line somewhere in eclipse.ini helped me:

 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

The directive name speaks for itself.

I've had this problem too. I've always found that if you close eclipse first before connecting the device, running an emulator, or starting ddms, everything works just fine.

I think the Eclipse SDK hogs the connection and prevents ddms from accessing the device or emulator.
