I have recently started the development for Android platform. For this I am using Eclipse (version details are listed in the end) on Windows 8 Pro x64 OS. I have 2 versions of java x64 available on my machine: 1.7.0_25 and 1.6.0_45.
Now the problem statement:
When I set java 1.7 as the system level default java version i get the following error:
[2013-07-28 01:50:41 - ddms] Can't bind to local 8600 for debugger.
The above message comes with different port numbers many time. I did the research on the net and the people were suggesting to fallback to the older version of java to resolve the issue, in my case I downloaded and installed 1.6.0_45. now the above DDMS error is gone, but there arises a bigger problem now.
The Eclipse closes suddenly all by itself no message no error displayed or reported on the UI. but when I looked into the eclipse log file, I found the error is raised due to some java related library is not functioning.
Eclipse Version: Kepler Release (Build id: 20130614-0229) OS: Windows 8 Pro x64 Java Version: 1.6.0_45 and 1.7.0_25 (latest while I am writing this post) Antivirus: AVG Internet Security 2013 without firewall setup.
Can anyone please help me find out the solution for the problem, so that I can setup my development environment with no issues.
