    I have a makefile project that i have been using via cygwin and ndk blah blah blah… this compiles and runs on my phone fine. However, now i am passed hello world and need debugging. I installed VisualGDB, and ran thru a few samples. I then imported my project thru the app wizard, and compiled and built and deployed and it runs fine. I even see my log messages in LogCat. However, breakpoints do not work ( if i do Debug App Startup or if i do Debug App ), breakpoints don’t trigger anywhere in the code.

    In log cat, i have the following messages

    System.Out debugger detached?

    i am assuming my debugger is not loaded ? or running ? i am new to gdb debugging.

    My project is fairly complex, i import a few pre built libraries, and compile the code natively. This is using NativeActivity, no java…

    Thanks much for any help

    So i found out that if i my files are in the JNI directory, then the application will be debuggable, but if my files live outside of the JNI folder, then they are not debugged… how can this be corrected?

    thanks much

    Hi,
    There’s a bug in the NDK version of GDB that causes breakpoint problems. VisualGDB fixes it for obvious cases like the JNI directory, but probably does not fix it for your project.
    Please open the GDB Session window, select “All interaction with GDB” and try settings your breakpoints. Then send us (or post here) the contents of the GDB Session window. It will contain the GDB commands and replies related to the breakpoints and will help us determine why your breakpoints are not working.

    You can also try executing the “sharedlibrary” and “info shared” commands in the GDB session window to ensure that your symbols are loaded correctly.

    i have got it working ( not using any of those solutions ) but it is not reliable… what is interesting is that it seems to work one out of 3 times or so. From logcat, what seems to be happening is that the application/debugger is still running even after i stop the application and uninstall it. I then start to Debug Android App again, and it seems to pick up where it was.

    what setting do i need to set for a “complete refresh” everytime

    thanks much for your help, and i will try your solutions now, and let you know.

    Hi,

    That’s strange. Uninstalling the app should normally reset the state.
    As mentioned before, please send us the GDB log so that we can actually see what’s happening and give you more advice.

    Great news… i got it working with trial and error… so the process i have to run thru to be able to debug is as follows

    in simulator
    -Build normally
    -Debug Android App
    -wait
    -when the message comes up APP_CMD_INPUT_CHANGED, place a breakpoint inside the app
    -commence debugging

    On device
    same as above, only Debug App Startup ( this gives the debugger time to connect since hte device is so much faster

    Issues still have
    -Breakpoints do not persist (once you debug and stop, you have to repeat the process, the breakpoints dont stick thru additional runs)

    Thanks much for your time, and now that i ahve it working, i believe i will purchase it, if i can get the breakpoints to persist

    I too had the same problem. I could not see any thing in the debug perspective while debugging. Sorry I have a very lengthy log, here is my logcat –

    Hi,

    Exactly which of the above issues are you experiencing?

    Please submit a full GDB log, so enable diagnostic logging in the GDB settings page of VisualGDB Project Properties. Then start debugging, replicate your scenario, stop debugging, give us the gdb log file from your project directory.
