Debugging native code in android under eclipse fails

Question

I\'m trying to debug the native code in the \"csipsimple\" android app using the Debug As->Android Native Application option. I used this tutorial to do it.

Answer 1

Do you use the info, warn, etc. functions to log messages in any of your Android.mk files? Like $(info my-log-message) It looks like your do and it's logging the string:

Android NDK: Uses local settings

If so, remove them all and try again.

Answer 2

After getting this to work, and then re-creating my app to see what works, I have found the following:

in the AndroidManifest.xml, you have to set min/target SDK version to match that of your phone.

[jc@jc-u13:anotherJniDebugTest]$ adb shell getprop|grep build.version
[ro.build.version.codename]: [REL]
[ro.build.version.incremental]: [5c6c6b0b1b]
[ro.build.version.release]: [4.3.1]
**[ro.build.version.sdk]: [18]**

therefore, my manifest versions had to be 18. If i had my version set to 17, i would get the above error

Answer 3

For NDK R9 (works in others too but line# may differ):

${NDK}/build/core/add-application.mk
line 138

add "#" at start of the line.

# $(call __ndk_info,WARNING: APP_PLATFORM $(APP_PLATFORM) is larger than \
    android:minSdkVersion $(APP_MIN_PLATFORM_LEVEL) in $(APP_MANIFEST))

One character, 30 second fix ... go debug native code.
