Using Eclipse for androidSDK, when I go to run, I get WARNING: Data partition already in use. Changes will not persist!

Question

I am completely new to Java, and Android, and eclipse. When doing the initial Hello, Android tutorial, I go to run and get the following:

WARNING: Data parti         


        

Answer 1

One solution for this is to simply clean your projects. From the menu PROJECT>CLEAN...Clean All projects.

This worked for me when rebooting eclipse did not.

I take it back... this was temporary and incomplete. Even rebooting my eclipse and my system did not help until I killed the adb service, restarted it per the suggestions here. Now everything seems clean (knock on wood)

Answer 2

Goto DDMS perspective, click on the down arrow next to the screen capture camera icon and select reset adb from the dropdown menu.

My apk file was not deploying either, resetting adb sorted it out. :)

Answer 3

Delete pid file from all blow directories
.android\avd\[your_device].avd\cache.img.lock &
hardware-qemu.ini.lock &
sdcard.img.lock &
userdata-qemu.img.lock directories

Then start AVD.

Answer 4

I just had the same problem, that's why I found myself here.

What I did is to run cmd then adb kill-server, then open task manager in windows and kill the emulator-x86.exe process. Then re-run the project, it should work fine.

I guess adb kill-server isn't even necessary.

Answer 5

Make sure that no proxy software is preventing Eclipse from connecting to the internet.

My problem was solved by doing this!
