Q:

Android hierarchyviewer unable to load window data

I'm trying to use the hierarchyviewer tool to see the layout of my Android app.  
I can run hierarchyviewer, and see the emulator running.  I click on <Focused Window> and try to load the view hierarchy and get the error:

Unable to load window data for window <Focused Window> on device emulator-5554.  

I'm developing on OSX (10.6.5) using Eclipse 3.5.2.  I'm currently debugging through Eclipse, in a custom-sized emulator.  I have updated the Android tools to the latest (revision 8) with the AVD and SDK manager in Eclipse.  I haven't found any threads searching for the error message, or for general heirarchy viewer problems. 
Does anyone have an idea how to get the tool working? 

A:

I found an application's view hierarchy does not load when the the app is under debug.  Have you tried dismissing the debugger and just starting the app from the launch icon? 

A:

In my case it was a carriage return character (U+000D) in one of my TextViews which prevented the hierarchyviewer from loading the window data. 
These thinks do not help in this case:

cleaning the project
deploying the app not in debug-mode
closing eclipse
running adb kill-server && adb start-server
trying other views like com.android.settings. Settings or com.android.development. Development (which worked fine)
