I found the answer here: http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/debugging-devtools.html

Lets you select the application to debug. You do not need to set this to attach a debugger, but setting this value has two effects:

  • It will prevent Android from throwing an error if you pause on a breakpoint for a long time while debugging.
  • It will enable you to select the Wait for Debugger option to pause application startup until your debugger attaches (described next).
