After 8 hours on this problem I feel obliged to share the cause. My /etc/hosts was bad.

Make sure you can ping localhost and that it is defined to 127.0.0.1. AS expects to connect to localhost:8600.

You may want to check your debugging setting in Dev Setting on your AVD. Take a look at the following picture:

Answer 5

You can fix this issue without re-booting your device. Just go to "Android device"->"Settings"->"Developer Options"->"Select app to be debugged". It will likely be pointing to your application. Just select the option and then select "None".

Note: As mentioned, even if "None" is already selected, re-selecting "None" appears to correct the problem.

Just to be clear: This is on the device, not in Android Studio (cf. very helpful comment from Regis_AG).

I have the same problem. In my case I have two development environments open in the same time: Android Studio and Eclipse. After I close Eclipse and run the debug process again works well. Hope this help!
