"It's not a tumor." The application pops into existence before its name is set. If the name is never set, it remains "?". If you run a command like "adb shell am blah blah" you can see it appear in DDMS with a "?". If you run a stand alone VM (http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/ dalvik.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/hello-world.html;hb=HEAD) with debugger support enabled, you'll see "?", since it's not an Android app and hence doesn't have a name. If a process doesn't want to talk to DDMS, because it thinks DDMS is already attached (e.g. run stand-alone DDMS and Eclipse at the same time), you'll see "?" since DDMS can't query the VM for the real name. If something gets screwed up inside the VM -- in recent builds you could manage this by connecting DDMS and then disconnecting + reconnecting the USB cable -- you'll see "?". Usually some combination of logcat output and DDMS output reveals the cause. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
