I'm new to eclipse and android, so I have not the correct experience, by now. I'd like to know which are the tipical debugging methods.
emulator ddms junits
I'd like to do step-by-step using eclipse-rcp, emulator and ddms.
I can see in DDMS perspective the thread of Helloworld example running.
I change perspective to debug and I set breakpoint, but the application doesn't stop.

I accepted that it was bug in Helios but I now find that I'm now getting the same error under Eclipse 3.5
When I send a location from the DDMS perspective using the emulator control tab. I have a standard listener:
onLocationChanged(Location location){...}
If I break on the first line of this, having sent the lat/lon pair of 53.5/-3.0 from the DDMS tab, then the mLatitude/mLongitude in the location argument have changed to 53.508833/-3.005000 (6 dec places only shown).
The Android SDK is 2.2 in both and the target is Google APIs level 7. Does anybody else experience this or could offer a possible explanation? (It amounts to quite a big error in terms of metres on the map.)
DDMS is not able to send location to the emulator. I have tried sending just the location from DDMS but still the emulator is not able to receive location. The application works properly in the device but its not able to capture location data in the emulator.I am testing on Android 2.2 emulator. Can anyone let me know what can be the issue?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have problems simulating call or sms since telnet or ddms perspective on eclipse. I'm connected to the device and some commands works (window scale,...)If i try to simulate a gsm call then everything seems ok but i haven't anything on my emulator (nor incoming call nor notification) then if i launch an "gsm list" command my inbound call is listed and i can cancel it the same thing occurs with sms send everything seems ok (return OK) but there is no notification on the emulator nor sms in inbox :-(
I'm using the sdk r06 on a windows xp machine. I try with fresh avd on different platform :-(
Important : it has worked so i know it can work, but i would like to know why it doesn't work now ! Using ddms i don't see any trace on the log view.
I am trying to debug my device from a windows system with no IDE, just the android sdk, jdk and jre. I am using the ddms to do so. I works fine. I can see the entries in the logcat in the ddms. Among others I can see 'Wrote stack trace to /data/anr/traces.txt". But when I select the Device->File Explorer... and try to open the data folder, there is nothing there. It looks like an empty data folder.

View 4 Replies View RelatedProbably a stupid question with an obvious answer, but I can't figure it out by myself. Tutorial (http://source.android.com/source/using-eclipse.html) says to go to the root of the downloaded platform, and first start emulator (it starts successfully), and then run $ddms.
But when I'm trying to do so, it fails: ~/mydroid$ ddms No command 'ddms' found, did you mean: Command 'dkms' from package 'dkms' (main) Command 'xdms' from package 'xdms' (universe) Command 'dds' from package 'dds' (universe) ddms: command not found
I'm having a problem where I am able to update the location in the Android Emulator from the Eclipse DDMS exactly once per time an activity is loaded, but no more.
I discovered the problem in my application where Activity2 (which accesses the GPS) is started by Activity1 (which doesn't do anything particularly interesting); when Activity2 is started, I can update the GPS position using the Manual input in Location Controls in the DDMS and everything works fine. However, then I get a LogCat message "TTFF: XXXX" where XXXX is an apparently random number, and then the GPS will no longer update. However, if I click the Back button in the emulator to return to Activity1, and then use Activity1 to restart Activity2, I can enter a new GPS location. But, I can't enter a second one; tries to do so result in no apparent action. My application works perfectly well on a real device with a real GPS signal.
To test things further, I closed and reopened the emulator, immediately closed my application (from Activity1, which doesn't do anything besides load an XML layout and attach an onClick listener to a button), and loaded Google Maps. I observed the same behavior here; I could send one position that Google Maps would respond to, but any subsequent attempts to update position fail. When I close Google Maps and reopen it, I am able to send exactly one more location update from DDMS.
The distance between my subsequent location updates is usually 0.02 degrees, but I have tried it with up to 5 degrees also. My application does not use ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION because I want to switch back and forth between testing on a physical device and testing on the emulator without having to update the manifest for each build, plus it seems like setting a permission for my application shouldn't have anything to do with Google Maps on the emulator.
I would try loading up a GPX path, but the DDMS seems broken there too: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
What does the ddms do? I see it is the Dalvik Debug Monitor, but what does it do? I have my phone plugged in and it is just zooming along. I am not touching any buttons on the phone, and it appears the phone is asleep.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn the DDMS, I had used FileExplorer and visited /data/app folder to see the .apk files installed in the emulator. After that I had minimized the data folder and thus stopped that process.
But I am observing that this /data/app folder is opening again and again automatically. I dont know what is the reason and how to stop it.
I can't find the DDms allocation tracker in the DDMS perspective in eclipse. I search the view doing Window > show view I look to the android view but i have no allocation tracker view there. I use search view tool and I can't find any Where is this View ? (If it's obvious, i am sorry because i reallu can't find it)

Is there a way to cause the application to do a core dump and is there a tool for analyzing dumps? I have SDK version 8, which does not allow simultaneous use of DDMS and the Eclipse debugger so I need to get creative.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen one person debugging android application on a PC, emulator-5554 <===> DDMS A <===> Eclipse A can communicate well. When the second person want to debug application on another emulator on the same PC emulator-5556 <===> DDMS B <====> Eclipse B. The DDMS B can't communicate to emulator-5556 rightly. Seems emulator-5554 and emulator-5556 both controlled by DDMS A. How to resolve this problem?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to locate some excessive object creation to deal with hiccuping caused by the garbage collector (any word on upcoming improvements to this, btw?), and have discovered that DDMS is the tool for the job.I shut down eclipse and booted up DDMS, and it finds my device, but lists no processes running (no matter what I run).Initially, it did list the "powermanager" app that I had installed, so I assumed this was causing some kind of conflict and uninstalled it and rebooted my device.Now it simply lists no processes.

Whenever i double click the ddms file a command box flashes up on the screen for a split second and thats it . Can't go any further if the commab box won't stay up. I think a windows window is supposed to pop up after that so I can choose my phone.

I can use DDMS Location Controls of SDK 1.0 to manually or load a GPX KML to send mock location data.

Is there a way to step through each Placemark, vs. having the entire series play automatically? There are forward and back buttons on the Location Controls window, but no documentation on what they mean. I tried them both, but no Placemark coordinates are highlighted, so I don't know which Placemark is currently the focus.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI read this blog about how to use DDMS to track memory allocations. http://android developers.blogspot.com/2009/02/track-memory-allocatio. Using those instructions, I was able to get allocation stack traces. Unfortunately the stack traces only go 8 deep (at least when running against the simulator), and that's too little for me to know where in my code the allocations really originate. How can I raise the limit from 8 to something higher?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to design my first Android application with the use of GPS. As of right now, I have a drawable button that when clicked, alerts a Toast message of the longitude and latitude. I have tried to use the telnet localhost 5554 and then geo fix #number #number to feed in values but no results display just 0 0. I have also tried DDMS way of sending GPS coordinates and I get the same thing. My question is what exactly is the correct way of using the geo fix and the DDMS way of sending coordinates. I have used Location, LocationManger and LocationListener but I am not sure which is the right choice. Code...
