I am trying to add a breakpoint to a service running on a separate thread. No matter where I place the breakpoint in the service, they are always ignored.
I am sure that the service is running as I see the Log.e in the logcat. My debug mode is also correctly used as any breakpoint in the main thread of the app works.
Am I missing something? Is debug mode not supported for services in a separate thread?
I just updated Eclipse and Android SDK tools to the latest versions today.
I am testing my application on a device.
The android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger() did the trick. Add this before the line of code you want to debug.
Make sure that you declare the package name in the service tag in the manifest using android:process attribute, for example:
<service android:name=".YourCoolService"
android:process="your.package.here"/>
