DDMS - Can't bind to local 8600 for debugger on Android Studio

Try killing the adb server and restarting the adb server from terminal.

adb kill-server
adb start-server

Also on your mobile device, toggle the usb debugging. Both of these combine worked for me when I had this issue.

Also you may want to consider using Stetho by Facebook, you can view your database as well as run queries with Stetho. Stetho also lets you watch network calls, view your view hierarchy and more.

On Mac, Open terminal and type:

    sudo nano /etc/hosts

Add following line to your hosts file

127.0.0.1        localhost

Save and exit.

In Android Studio, you can start debugging again. I got stuck with the same problem and I ended up doing above, problem solved.

Hope this helps :) .

For osx users

Yes you need to restart adb. Simply restart android studio should do the trick. If it's still not working, force killing the thread on port 8600 by this

[sudo] lsof -i :8600

Then for the PID

kill -9 <PID>
