DDMS (Android debug monitor) doesn't list processes on Galaxy S II

android eclipse adb ddms galaxy

I'm developing on a Samsung Galaxy S II using eclipse and the eclipse android plugin. This is not the first time I'm using DDMS on this computer or phone and everything used to work just fine.

Now, when I connect the device, DDMS shows it on the device list, LogCat shows output, I can even browse the file system, but clicking on the device does not show its process list.

I have tried restarting my computer, restarting the phone, turning debug mode off and on again, connecting it to another computer, checking the cable by connecting another device, all to no avail.

Any ideas?

Only a particular app being 'debugged' will show under a physical device.
Since unlike the emulator - an actual device does not run in debug mode.

If the app you wish to debug is not listed then make sure that it is:

  1. a debug build
  2. running on the device
