Eclipse Android: Could not open Selected VM debug port (8700)

Could not open Selected VM debug port (8700)

I am getting an error when opening eclipse: "Could not open Selected VM debug port (8700). Make sure you do not have another instance of DDMS or of the eclipse plugin running. If it's being used by something else, choose a new port number in the preferences." - pretty sure DDMS is the Andoid debugger, and I am also pretty sure it is not turned on. Does anyone know how to start it?



if it doesn't work then try the following as well: 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"
