“'this' is not available” in debug windows of Android Studio

Question

I get this message in debug windows in Android Studio. This is not a static method, nor is it a class. What does it mean?

Answer 1

I've got a simple workaround for it:

int tmp = this.a; // tmp is available
this.a++; // this is not available
int tmp2 = this.a // tmp2 is available

Answer 2

this keyword is references to the current object instance, as in the the official Java documentation.

In your case the error message 'this' is not available means that the debugger cannot access (i.e. does not know) the current object.

when i change my gradle config,the work for me. this is error config:

     buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled true
        zipAlignEnabled true
        shrinkResources true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        signingConfig signingConfigs.release
    }

    debug {
        minifyEnabled true
        zipAlignEnabled true
        shrinkResources true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        signingConfig signingConfigs.release
    }
}

and, this is work for me.

debug {

        minifyEnabled false
        zipAlignEnabled false
        shrinkResources false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        signingConfig signingConfigs.release
    }

Change'Build Variant' to debug

Answer 5

Inside Lambda expressions we can't evaluate the value of variables. Changing from the lambda expression to normal expression solved my issue

Answer 6

I think this is an issue related to Reflexion. My project was using Hugo. As soon as I disable it, the bug disappeared.
