How do I use the Eclipse debugger in an AsyncTask when developing for Android?

Question

I\'m running ADT (Android Development Tools) in Eclipse and verified that my debugger is working by putting a breakpoint in MainMenu.oncreate (class Activity).

Answer 1

in addition to sargas's answer , because in Run mode you could get an error if you forget to comment that line, you could use the following:

if(android.os.Debug.isDebuggerConnected())
    android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();

so it takes care of itself.

Answer 2

Put the following code fragment in the beginning of doInBackground:

android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();

Then when you set a breakpoint in that thread, eclipse will find it.
