[Android] How to attach to an isolated process

[jyhur]

Hello.
My android project launches two processes. One is normal one and the other is the isolated process. (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/service-element.html#isolated)
I guess VisualGDB picks PID based on the package name.
On DDMS, the isolated process’s package name is shown like “com.example.android:remote” if the package name is “com.example.android”.
Is there anyway attaching to the isolated process on VisualGDB?

Thank you.

Hi,

Not with the stable VisualGDB 4.2 release. We have added experimental support for attaching to service processes to the upcoming VisualGDB 4.3 (when your app is already running and has some out-of-process services, VisualGDB will allow attaching to one of them). Would you like to try it out on a preview build?

Yes, sure.
Where can I download it? Thank you!

Hi,

You can try this one: http://visualgdb.com/tmp/VisualGDB-4.3.1.143.msi
