'Variables are not avaiable' when debugging Skia in AndroidStuio

[sodino chen]

I just tried to build Skia for Android following the Skia documentation at

https://skia.org/docs/user/build/#android
https://skia.org/docs/user/sample/viewer/#android

Then, every step seems to succeed.

But, 'Variables are not avaiable' when debugging Skia in AndroidStuio.  

As shown in the image below : 
How to fix it ?

So by default we do not push all the symbols on Android, even debug builds, because it greatly increases the binary size and takes longer to keep pushing builds to the device during normal development. However, to get the symbols you can either modify this line here, https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/skia/gn/skia/BUILD.gn;l=580, to just be -g. Or in your args.gn file in your out directory you can add a extra_cflags="-g" (which I think will take precedence over the default in BUILD.gn file).

Great!  It work!  You save me!

-------------------------

But 'add a extra_cflags="-g"  in your args.gn file in your out directory ' seems to be wrong.

The error message is printed: 

sodino@sodino skia % ninja -C out/Shared_arm64
ninja: Entering directory `out/Shared_arm64'
[0/1] Regenerating ninja files
ERROR at //gn/skia/BUILD.gn:568:12: This is not a list.
cflags = extra_cflags
^-----------
Instead I see a string = "-g"
See //gn/BUILDCONFIG.gn:178:3: which caused the file to be included.
"//gn/skia:default",

add a extra_cflags=["-g"] will be ok!

Thanks.!!

Oh yes good catch I missed the [ ] in my original suggestion. But glad it has worked out for you!
