Android Studio 1.3+ supports native debugging.

To set it up, follow these steps:

1. Modify your gradle-wrapper.properties, local.properties, and both build.gradle files as shown in this guide
2. Sync gradle

3. Create and select new build configuration:

   Click on drop down next to run button) -> Edit configurations, click plus sign, choose Android Native, fill in options on the right (I used LLDB in native debugger tab), and you should be set.

4. Set breakpoints in C++

5. Hit debug button and be patient (sometimes the debugger takes a while)

I have been able to debug native code under Lubuntu 14.04 with Android Studio 1.3 (stable channel). Although others have supposedly been successful under Windows, I haven't been able to debug natively in Windows 8.1 (I have tried with Android Studio 1.3, 1.3.2, and 1.4 preview 3).

Update Android Studio 1.4 Beta just came out. I tested it and was able to debug natively on Windows 8.1.
