NDK debugging across Android Studio & Visual Studio

[Daniel Wright]

Hello,

I'm currently looking for a way to debug native C++ code that I have in a large project of mine, using GDB or some other debugger. The layout of my project is as such:

Java front end is developed in Android Studio with classes that have native methods

C++ back end is developed in Visual Studio 2015 and compiled into a collection of libraries

Because I do not have the project encompassed under one IDE, it has proven somewhat difficult to find an easy way to debug my code; I have tried using GDB on the command line (NDK python GDB wrapper), but could not get it to work. 

Currently I am only using logcat plus __android_log_print(...), but this is becoming very tedious and inconvenient.

I know this is very vague, but perhaps you guys can point me in the right direction? Thanks for any responses.

Hi Daniel,

You could try to build and debug your libraries using the new experimental C++ support for Android Studio:

Hope that helps.
