attaching to a remote process

[hcroyl]

I am trying to attach to a running process on my android device. (galaxy note 3)
(connected to PC via usb and also connected to same network using wifi in case it matters)

Followed your instructions: (http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/linux/attach/)
but trying to attach my own process which is currently running and i have its process id.
I clicked on: debug->attach to process -> chose VisualGDB.
for qualifier i clicked on – Find, then “A linux application running on a remote computer”
I would appreciate some help as to what exactly i should do here, because nothing seems to work.
i tried creating a new SSH session, but still not sure exactly what should be the host? user name? password? (tried quite a few different combinations none seemed to work)
when i type: adb shell su in cygwin i get: root@hltespr
so i figured maybe username is root and host is hltespr (similar to what you had here http://visualgdb.com/gdbreference/commands/attach )

Would appreciate some help.
Thanks.
Roy.

Hi,

Are you trying to attach to a native tool or an Android App?

I am trying to attach to an android app.

Hi,

If you want to attach to an app, please use the ‘Debug Custom APK’ command and select ‘attach to an existing instance’ when prompted.
