title: DDMS files not found /opt/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/hprof-conv ubuntu
body: <p>I wanted to start an Android application project using Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>My OS is <strong>Ubuntu 14.04</strong> and had already the Android SDK. So far, I was using the command line tools.</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded and installed <strong>Eclipse Luna</strong> (the ADT bundle comes with an older version of Eclipse, so I did not want to use it).
  Then, using <code>Help -&gt; Install New Software</code>, installed the Android Eclipse plug-in (the instructions are <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>As per the <a href="http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/creating-project.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">instructions</a> on Android developer site, I created an application project and tried to run the app on an emulator instance.</p>
  
  <p>But the app did not run, and the Error Log in Eclipse showed the error</p>
  
  <pre><code> DDMS files not found:  /opt/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/hprof-conv
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The hprof-conv file exists in the shown location, and I was able to run it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>/opt/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools$ ./hprof-conv --help
  Usage: hprof-conf infile outfile
  
  Specify '-' for either or both to use stdin/stdout.

  <p>After looking at different questions here (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/9114741/3559967">this</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/14127476/3559967">this</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/11253669/3559967">this</a>, and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/27004819/3559967">this</a>), I tried several things: restarting Eclipse, updating the SDK using the SDK manager, confirming that the settings at <code>Window -&gt; Preferences -&gt; Android</code> are correct, ensuring emulator screen is unlocked, etc.</p>
  
  <p>All the settings everything is fine.
  But the problem persisted. Eclipse could not load the app on the emulator.</p>
  
  <p>Another thing to note is that the posts on stack overflow and other sites that dealt with the similar problem were primarily on Windows.</p>
  
  <p>I am puzzled. What am I missing or doing wrong?</p>
