I faced this problem when I was working with the Android Eclipse plugin and sometimes my application or the application changes would not show up on the emulator.
You might want to check out this link which Google has for the same problem. However in my case it was not helpful.
What worked in my case was killing the adb process. If you are using Ubuntu then goto System->Administration->System Monitor and hunt for the adb process, which would be sleeping. Kill the process and rerun your application.
On Windows you can go to the task manager and kill the adb process.
Your changes should start showing up now.

Thank you so much! This was causing a real headache!
Killed ADB.exe *32, then told eclipse to run the app and it worked a charm! Thank you!

You know your stuff. Worked great. Forced quit the adb process on MAC. Reloaded the app, and it worked great

Unfortunately this didn’t work for me, but what did was to delete the virtual device and then re-create it. Worth a try…

This is strange… I just downloaded all the latest (Eclipse, JDE, Android SDK, ADT) from all the official sources and I encountered the same problem on my XP SP3 box… What gives?

Guys I am facing the similar problem since last 4 days but i figured it out what’s the problem is…
Solution is so simple if u guys have installed any firewall (My one is comodo firewall) it blocks the IDE communicating with the emulator once i uninstalled it works awesome…

Hello,
I am on Windows 7 + eclipse + android sdk.
New application icons or any updates in the eclipse project are not reflected in emulator.
killing the adb.exe or cleaning the project is not working.
Also deleting the old avd and creating the new avd also not working.
Help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vikas
