Android :: Framework Source Level Debugging In Eclipse

Jun 17, 2010

the Java sources for the Android framework are available at source.android.com. Can I download and feed them to Eclipse so that I can step into framework methods while debugging? Better yet, does anyone know of an Eclipse plug-in that would get them from Android Git automatically as needed?during debugging, I can step through the framework code; I can see local variables by their declared names, and line numbers as well. It seems like the debug info is already there - only the source file is missing. While I can open it in parallel and watch the execution unfold, the question of version matching remains. Of many versions of the class file in Git, how do I pick one that matches whatever is running on the device (or emulator)? This is more of a Git navigation question - how do I pick up the very version of the file that went into Android release, say, 2.2?

Android :: How Can I Source-level Debugging In Unit Test Caes In Android Under Eclipse With ADT?

Feb 2, 2009

I can run the unit test cases either by :

1. command line ' adb shell am instrument -w com.example.android.apis.tests/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner'

2. Go to 'Dev' and clicks 'Instrumentation' and click 'Test API Demo'.But my questions now is, how can I debug my unit test cases? I try 'Debug' my APIDemoTest eclipse project and then do #2 above, it did not break at any of my breakpoints I setup.

Android :: Debugging Other People Source Code In Eclipse / ADT Plug-in Might Not Be Functioning Properly

Jul 2, 2010

I am new to android development and have been playing around with the tutorials offered at developer.android.com.I don't have a problem with projects I create from scratch, but when I start a project from the android sample code provided at android.com or from any other android project, I can never seem to get the bugs out to even run the thing.For example, when loading up the NotePad sample in the android-7 package of samples.would like a general solution, something more global bc this is occurring whenever I pull in anyone's source code from outside.kind of frustrated because I feel that I am spending too much time working out these kinks and not being able to study other people's code against how it performs in the emulator.

Android :: Low Level Debugging ?

May 15, 2010

Is there a way to trace through function calls at the lowest levels of the Android system? Right now when I debug in Eclipse, it goes through the source files that are located inside the frameworks folder, but is it possible to go even lower? For example show what functions are being called from the libcore folder. I am also interested to find how it communicates with the linux kernel at the bottom of the layers. Is there a way to do this?

Android :: Build Spreadsheet-like Grid / Would Need To Be Implemented At Framework Level?

Mar 3, 2009

Is it possible to build a spreadsheet-like grid? I would like to select single cells, or one row at a time,like a database viewer.

Or would it need to be implemented at the framework level?

I'm thinking of a UI equivalent of something like this AJAX control, which may be opened in the WebView: http://www.hisdigital.com/misc/flexigrid/.

Android :: Debugging With Eclipse On HTC Evo

Oct 16, 2010

I've turned on USB debugging.I have the latest HTC Sync and android SDK components.I'm using Eclipse 3.5 on windows XP. I'm running Android 2.2, and am asking for 2.1 as the minimum in the debugger.I work in Eclipse/Java just about every day, and have for several years.I'm even writing an Eclipse plugin at work as I type this neither Eclipse nor Java are new to me by quite a stretch.When I start a debug session for the "Skeleton App" sample project, I can see my Evo, and the activity launches (with any freshly saved changes), should I select it.I have tried different android connection types (charge only, disk drive, HTC Sync, and USB tethering) to no avail. I've tried Eclipse 3.6 for a bit before yielding to the inevitable and reinstalling 3.5. I monkeyed with the emulator for a while but ran into a different set of issues (I had to reboot the emulator every time I wanted to make a change... Eclipse's auto-build/hot-swap has me spoiled).Is there something I can add to (or remove from) the AndroidManifest.XML to deal with this? A magical incantation perhaps? Must I pray towards San Jose three times a day on a rug woven from kernel gurus' vast and scruffy beards? Is my Evo not Kosher? Must I be "sky clad" while debugging? Shall I teach my laptop to genuflect?

Android :: Run Without Debugging In Eclipse

Nov 29, 2009

When I run my app on my phone from eclipse, it always runs in debug. This has only recently started to happen. I guess I must have inadvertently changed a preference or something, but can't work out what. Does anyone know how I can switch it back so I can run without debugging?

Android :: Edit Source Lookup Path - Standard Framework Callbacks

Apr 2, 2010

I am developing on a Mac with Eclipse and have the skeleton for an app that implements the standard framework callbacks (onCreate, onDestroy, onPause, etc.). When I set breakpoints in the callbacks the debugger stops and displays a tab that says
"ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread $ActivityRecord,Intent)line:2477" and in the tab page body there is some red text that says "Source not found" and a button that says
"Edit Source Lookup Path...". I have tried adding several paths via "Edit Source Lookup Path..." but can't see to find the one Eclipse is looking for.

Android :: What's Wrong With Debugging In Eclipse?

Mar 31, 2010

I've obviously been spoiled by Visual Studio, because although I'm just learning Android and the Eclipse environment, debugging apps in Eclipse is becoming a serious detriment to further development.And then, when it executes it under the debugger, I will get a full screen of useless debug info, non of which actually points me to the specific line containing the error.The stackTrace is null within the exception ('e') info tree, and it simply states a message stating 'ArithmeticException'. (that's nice, how about you point me in the direction of where you found it!?)I've looked all over the screen and am baffled that this IDE can't get this right. Does developing with Eclipse resort everyone back to 1991 with printf() like logging at every interval then to track down bugs? Seriously.Is there a configuration or plug-in that I'm missing to help with this?I haven't tested this case with XCode, but if the iPhone dev. IDE handles this more like Visual Studio, then no wonder the Android marketplace has so few apps.

Android :: How To Get Debugging Statements In Eclipse

Apr 20, 2010

I've read the lame documentation, and checked other answers.I'd like my Android app to print some debug statements in the logcat window of Eclispe. If I use the isLoggable method on the various types of debug levels on the Log class, I find that WARN and INFO are returning true and Log.i do not produce any output.Does anyone know which gotchas I've missed?And just to vent, why should this be hard? I've published apps for iphone and bberry and while appreciate the use of java, the platform is reeking of too many "genuiuses" being involved. I suppose Activities and Intents are very flexible, but why? I just want to put up some screens, take some input and show some results. The bberry pushscreen and popscreen is a lot less pretentious.

Android :: Debugging App In Eclipse Using Handset

Aug 2, 2010

I am just starting to learn Android development using the Android SDK and Eclipse. I can get my HelloWorld starting app to run in the device emulator, but not on my Verizon Droid handset. I have downloaded the drivers for Windows 7 and I can see the files on the handset in Windows Explorer, so I'm assuming I have the drivers working. I have enabled the USB Debugging on the handset.The problem is that when I set the Debug mode to Manual in Eclipse, I do not see my device in the "Choose device" list.What am I missing?

Android :: Debugging Droid With Eclipse

Dec 15, 2009

I've many times debugged my Java EE code running on Tomcat and JBoss quite effectivley with Eclipse, but I'm running into a brick wall debugging an Android app on the Droid. I think I have to debug on the device and not the AVM because the app interacts with MapView, GPS, etc. Maybe I need to use the AVM to effectively debug?What happens is I get NullPointerException or ArrayOutOfBoundsException in the main thread at something like ViewRoot.draw(boolean) line: 1373. Of course, by default, the source won't be found. So I downloaded the source with Git and pointed Eclipse at it. However, I think I don't have the right source, because the line is that the exception appears to have been thrown from is not completely relevant. How can I be sure I'm using the correct source code for debugging the Droid? After writing this, I've found that although Eclipse is not displaying the little green dot when I set a breakpoint in the Andorid code, it does show up in the breakpoint view and I can step through the code. Not sure if this helps me. Is it perhaps my ignorance of Dalvik and/or debugging threaded code?

Android :: Debugging Native Code (C++) Using Gdb With Eclipse / Is It Possible?

May 24, 2010

I have some piece of code which uses JNI. I can debug code wrote in Java directly in Eclipse (using ADT). I even have a script, which help me debug native code with gdb. However this is not very comfortable way for doing this.Is it possible to configure Eclipse to use gdb (I guess gdbserver) for debbuging android native applications? Do you know where I could find any description of this?

Android :: Help A Newbie Learn Eclipse / Debugging Best Practices

Jul 25, 2010

I am a newbie to Android and the Eclipse development environment and would like some advice on best practices for debugging my apps when they throw a Force Close.I have researched ADB, however, I can not get this to interact with my phone even though I have explicitly turned debug mode to true on my test handset.Obviously Android comes with a LOG method which I have seen utilized in many example apps, can someone please explain how to review these logs quickly and how to setup logging appropriately to determine the cause of a Force Close (always occurs when I push the Home button).Any advice on debugging effectively in Eclipse would be much appreciated!

If they are not equal the test fails.When the test fails I would like to print out the contents of the offending array to see what went wrong. I have tried System.out.print and it doesn't show up in the console or JUnit results.What am I doing wrong?Is it even possible?

Android :: Debugging Project In Eclipse Suddenly Doesn't Work Anymore

Aug 15, 2010

I am developing on Windows machine.I was working quite well until yesterday, when I saw the the update prompt and updated my ADT plugin. Today when I tried debugging my test project, I experienced either one the following cases:

1) Logcat stops forever on the message "sending wait chunk".

2) Logcat shows the following message, and test project fails:

3) Eclipse stops responding.

The above cases happens even when the test unit contains nothing.Also it just doesn't not work in debug. The test case runs successfully if it is not in debug mode (But there are still some glitches, like Logcat sometimes won't emit debug messages).

Android :: Announcement / Open Source Micro Framework For Android

Apr 24, 2010

We developed the popular mobile travel application TripCase (http:// www.tripcase.com) natively for the iphone, backberry, winmo, and recently Android. We really like the Android framework compared to the others, but found some of it's concepts like Activities to be very cumbersome when dealing with screen based applications like ours. We have many forms and workflows, lots of viewable and editable data, and we make many calls to our back-end Rails server. In order to streamline our development efforts on Android we created a small convention-based micro-framework which we are calling DynaDroid and would like to open it up to the Android community for use.
http://code.google.com/p/dynadroid/

Here are some of the features that you get with DynaDroid:

* The entire micro-framework is housed within a singe Activity, so sharing data between screens is finally easy again.
* Code by convention and all your xml layouts and menus are dynamically available.
* Screen management for pushing, popping, and swapping screens (all with transition animations).
* Screen orientation (landscape, portrait) can be controlled on a screen by screen basis.
* Error reporting support built-in, so if your app crashes a report is sent to you.

And there is more to come:

* More dynamic coding conventions - let's get rid of all those if/ else and case statements!
* Built-in screen analytics for tracking user interaction
* Simplified device to server communication with xml/json parsing and automatic error handling * Extensions to Android UI components without all the plumbing
* Easier to use api for interacting with device capabilities (camera, gps, phone, etc.)

We would love your feedback on the micro-framework. So please let us know what you would like in the future. And if you have any questions or issues our Google group is located here:
http://groups.google.com/group/dynadroid
Remember DynaDroid is already being used in the production Android application TripCase, so it's been thoroughly tested and is ready for prime-time.

Android :: Debugging In Android Open Source System Code

My question is, how do I take advantage of these logs? I am using Eclipse on Ubuntu 9.10 and I have no idea how to actually debug this code.

Android :: Debugging In Eclipse / Current Line Wrong For Methods With Multiple Return Points

Apr 2, 2009

While doing debugging with Eclipse I noted that the debugger highlights the wrong line as "next line to execute" for methods with multiple return points. It fools the developer that the last line of the method is executed, where in fact it is not.Does anyone know if this is some kind of known issue? My colleagues have also experienced this but we have never seen it when doing on- device-debugging on e.g. the Sony Ericsson SDK.I couldn't find anything at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list There was a similar post in android-beginners 2007-11-25. No replies, though. http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread.

Android :: Debugging Android Widget Code In Eclipse

Jan 6, 2010

I am starting with Android programming with the help of Unlocking Android / Manning which came from Santa and is a pretty good book. After running a few little tests and examples, I'm moving towards developing the concepts for my own application.I want my App to execute as a Home Widget and I'm using this example as my model to get started.While I am able to load and run in the Android ADB emulator the code example in the example's Wiktionoary which is a normal Android App. I am not able to run, but only load into the emulator the Widget version of that code named SimpleWiktionary.Am I am able to debug Android Home Widgets with the emulator? If so, what am I missing on starting/activating the Widget or having it show up in the Apps window?

Android :: Generate Java Source Code In Eclipse?

Jun 2, 2010

Does anyone know what approach one can take to automatically generate Java source code, from for example an xml or json file, in eclipse? One great example of what I am thinking of doing is what Google Android sdk does: they have an R class generated automatically from the resources. Every time a resource file is saved in Eclipse R class is automatically regenerated.

UPDATE: Example:
In the text (xml or json file) I have the following:
<tags>
<tag id="ALPHA">
<description>The first alpha tag.</description>
<value>231232</value> </tag> <tag id="BETA">
<description>This is the beta tag.</description>
<value>231232</value> </tag>

Then in my generated java class, say R I would have something like:
R.tags.ids.ALPHA //refers to an enum value for example
R.tags.values.ALPHA //refers to final int with avlue 231232
R.tags.descriptions.ALPHA //refers to the String with description
