I am using the android 1.5 and have compiled and run the Snake sample
application on the Emulator, using Eclipse 3.41 to launch it. When I try
to debug it using the Eclipse environment I get the error:

"Launch error: Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused."

I do have the AndroidManifest.xml debuggable=true set and i went into
the emulator and set Dev Tools > Development Settings> and checked
"Wait for debugger", and added the snake app to the Debug App. So not
sure what else to do to get it to work. I also turned off my firewall
just in case too.

Here is my log for the launch:

Thanks in advance for any help.

Actually I found the answer, so anyone with the same issues may find this useful. My error was caused by the localhost not being defined in:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

And should contain this line :
127.0.0.1 localhost

Putting this line back allow me to debug.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

John
