ECLIPSE-The connection to adb is down, and a severe error has occured

I've spent day trying to launch any Android program. it gives me the same error:

"The connection to adb is down, and a severe error has occured".

I'm running Eclipse Galileo,on a Windows7 machine.

I've used all the tricks I can find on the web: the command line "adb kill-server", the DDMS "reset ADB", I started the emulator both before and after Eclipse, and searched for ports being used by other programs.

when starting server getting same 

    * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
Solution

  • try to end process of adb.exe from task manager ==> processes
    then restart the eclipse
