I have a simple Android Service, which should start on device bootup. However, I cannot debug this using Eclipse on Windows.
The error I get from Logcat is
CODE:................
My manifest looks like

how i can run the service automatically on bootup in 1.1 version of android where there is no IntentRecevier.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run the sample soft keyboard included in the SDK. I am using the debugger, and the literature says that to use a breakpoint while debugging a SERVICE, I need to include:
android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();
So here is the portion of the code I modified:
CODE:...........
I have put a couple of breakpoints, at the statements indicated by the comments.
This is what happens: the debugger first stops at the breakpoint1, for a few seconds. But then the service restarts. For the life of me I can't figure out what makes the service to restart.
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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to debug android source code with ecliplse. And I can see that eclipse has connect to emulator via ddms.

Can anybody give some advice?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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?

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?

View 1 Replies View Relatedthe 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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).
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhile 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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've tried to search for similar problems, but can't seem to find it.
I run:
Windows 7
Java SE Developement Kit x64
Eclipse Helios (downloaded here from Eclipses homepage --> Downloads --> Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers --> 64 Bit)
"Android SDK Windows"
I've been following the guide from the Android Developers homepage.
I can launch Eclipse just fine. Under Help --> Install New Software ...
Here, I give it a name myself (Android Plugin Test), and under location, I've typed "http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse", as said in the link.
Then it find Developement Kit, and I install it and all that & restart Eclipse.
The following are now installed:
- Android DDMS
- Android Development Tools
- Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
So everything seems fine.
BUT ..
When I go to Window --> Preferences, "Android" is missing.
I have no problems seeing General, Ant, Data Management etc.
So my question is, what's the problem ?
As said, I downloaded Android SDK, but when I try to run the setup, I get this error, about missing Java:
And that's where I'm lost.
Because, under installed programs, it says:
- Java(TM) SE Developement Kit 6 Update 21 (64-bit)
And yes, I have restarted after installing Java.
For some odd reason, it's not possible for to run the SDK setup with any compatibility. It's greyed out
(Yes, I'm admin, and I don't have any problems on other programs)
I checked the Requirements for Android SDK, and it says Windows XP & Vista, but not 7 .. But as far as I know, other people got it to work.
I am having a lot of problem getting Eclipse with Android plug-in to work on Windows 7 64K. I am getting eclipse not responding a lot. It seem to happen pretty randomly. I know that Windows 7 is currently not support for Android SDK.
However has anyone got this to work ?
I am using the following:
- Windows 7 64K
- eclipse galileo (3.5.2)
- JDK 1.6.0_21 64k
