I can't get DDMS to load any KML files.

I have a KML file for example with the following in it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
 <Placemark>
   <name>Simple placemark</name>
   <description>Attached to the ground. Intelligently places itself
      at the height of the underlying terrain.</description>
   <Point>
     <coordinates>-122.0822035425683,37.42228990140251,0</coordinates>
   </Point>
 </Placemark>
</kml>

The docs at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/ddms.html seem to indicate that I only need to launch my app and fire up DDMS and load the KML. That doesn't work.

I even tried the Google Earth solution suggested at the same link.

I'm using SDK 1.5_r2. I am doing something wrong or missing something?

I am testing out an Android application I wrote with google maps. The DDMS is not loading the KML/GPX files I found on the internet.
