Answer 1

I had the same issue. I configured eclipse following this article. Then I change from armeabi to armeabi-v7a. Then I couldn't debug.

I fixed this issue:
1) You must fix the folders in "Debug configurations"

• Main tab change ...obj/local/armeabi/app_process to ...obj/local/armeabi-v7a/app_process
• Debugger tab change ...obj/local/armeabi/gdb2.setup to obj/local/armeabi-v7a/gdb2.setup
• Debugger tab change .../toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gdb to toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gdb

2) May be this is workaround but it works. In "Debug configurations" ->Debugger->Shared Libraries add <project path>/obj/local/armeabi-v7a and check "Load shared library symbols automatically"
