Eclipse Ide: Failed To Initialize Monitor Thread Error After Installing Android Sdk?

I just installed the android SDK plugin for Eclipse and whenever I start my IDE (eclipse) I get the error alert 'failed to initialize monitor thread. Unable to establish loopback c

Solution 1:

I had the same problem and the reason was a wrong Java JDK. If you have installed the Java JDK 7, uninstall it at first and reinstall the JDK 6 -> download link.

I don't know if it works if you just download the JDK 6 and set the JAVA_HOME path to it. I uninstalled the JDK 7, because I didn't use it anymore.

Solution 2:

  1. Make sure localhost is pointing to 127.0.0.1
  2. Disable your firewall

Although not Android, this thread also talks about that issue:

Solution 3:

Solution (workaround) : turn off Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface.

This probably converts IP4 to IPv6 addresses or something, resulting in an IPv6 address for your localhost (strange though, that a PING still results in IP4). Anyway, turning it off (Device manager > View > Show hidden devices > right click on Teredo > disable) solves the problem!

I found that my Win7 install re-enables my Teredo device after each boot. Even when I deinstall. So I made a batchfile (run as Administrator) which issues the following commands : >netsh interface teredo set state disabled >"D:\Program Files (x86)\Eclipse\eclipse.exe"

Solution 4:

I had the same problem. I disconnected my computer from the internet and the problem solved!!! Now Im sure its related to one of my other softwares (in my case that was proxifier) . I think it might be related to converting IPv4 to IPv6 addresses or something.

Solution 5:

I use Avast Internet Security. I tried allowing eclipse.exe through the firewall, but it still gave me the error.

I simply turned off the Avast firewall, while keeping the Windows firewall on, and it worked. I had no errors at all and it's all smooth sailing.

This may not work for everyone, but after following pretty much every solution thread (none of which worked) I just ended the 3rd party firewall, and boom. Thar' she blows!

I know the question is over 2 years old, but I recently ran into this issue and just wanted to share my experience.
