Debugging C++/native library modules not working with Android Studio (Cmake used)

Question

I\'m having trouble debugging C++ files of my library module.

Is this possible in general?

The debugging works fine if the application project contains the c++ c

Answer 1

The reason seems to be, that a release version of the lib is created, which does not support debugging, even if the app is built with debug options.

Solution:

To solve this issue, do the following workaround. It ensures that a debug version is built.

---

In your apps build.gradle change:

compile project(':nativelib')

to

compile project(path: ':nativelib' , configuration: 'debug')

---

In the libs build.gradle add:

android {

    publishNonDefault  true //this line

    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
    ...
    }
...
}
