Is it possible ?

Thanks!

Which version of Android are you using and what exact device? It looks like the output of the ps command looks differently from the usual one.

Thank you for your Reply!

I tried use android-x86-4.0-eth0-gen_x86-20120726.iso from tabletsx86 org as test device.
Of course, this is a port Android 4.0 on x86 platform with arm support.
As test device, it work great, but debugger can’t find it. As I understand, this happen because ps output
format not the same as emulator ps and visualgdb parser can’t find req. information…

So, walk under debugger on it – impossible…

Thanks.

Same here. Trying to debug a sample app on Galaxy S gives this same behevior. Any hints?

Hi,

Yes, the bug is caused by the ‘ps’ command producing slightly different output from the one on most of the Android devices.
We have fixed this in the upcoming VisualGDB 3.0 release. We are planning to release the beta (also supporting vs-android integration) at the end of this week.

[support]

Please try VisualGDB 3.0 Beta 1. The problem is fixed there.
