gdbserver

I'm trying to debug a native shared library that my App uses through JNI. I can attach to a running app just fine with "gdbserver --attach pid" but i need to actually launch my app when i launch the gdbserver command. There's a million blog hits on this topic but none of them seem to be clear as to how you launch your app. They all say to just type "gdbserver 10.0.2.2:1234 ./MyProgram" but what exactly is "MyProgram". Is that MyProgram.apk? Is it MyProgram.so? Is it some other file that gets created when the app is installed? If so, what's its path? While it is possible to develop free

The Android NDK documentation doesn't seem all that clear to me as to what sequence of commands you run to get debugging information into, and out of the ndk-gdb executable which is provided. If there is a format for what lines to break on, and in what file, is there a specification somewhere? If so, also, how do you give this debugger that information, and through what means? I'm clueless in every way as to how this process works. Thanks Specifically addressing "is there a specification somewhere": ndk-gdb is basically traditional GDB that talks to NDK applications, the GDB documentation at

Trying to setup remote gdb debugging in eclipse . when i try to debug i get: Error in final launch sequence Failed to execute MI command: -target-select remote LOCALHOST:2345 Error message from debugger back end: LOCALHOST:2345: Connection timed out. LOCALHOST:2345: Connection timed out. My gdb debugger is set up correctly /carambola/carambola/build_dir/toolchain-mipsel_r2_gcc-4.6-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/gdb-linaro-7.2-2011.03-0/gdb/gdb ( executing this i can get gdb shell ) any idea what i am doing wrong ? i think this is pretty elementary?? this happens if the gdb client ( inside eclipse ) is

I am using gdbserver on target and CodeSourcery IDE. My hardware is a gumstix with a omap3530. I can step through code in my main application but if I attempt to step into a function in a shared library I get memory address and a debugger terminates. This is my library that is compiled and copied to the /lib folder on the target system.(it does have debug symbols) I have attempted to use the .gbdinit file to set solib-absolute-prefix /lib Here are the warnings from the gdb trace: 903,056 13-gdb-set sysroot-on-target /lib 903,065 13^done 903,065 (gdb) 903,065 14-target-select remote 192.168.1

I've been searching for the last week trying to find an answer to this question. How do I start an Android app with valgrind? I know I can start an app with the 'am' command, but it starts the app and exits. I'm writing an app that uses the NDK for native C code, and I need to check it for suspected memory errors. Edit: I've learned a little more. You can "wrap" an app with a shell script. Here's the shell script I'm using: #!/system/bin/sh VGPARAMS='--error-limit=no' export TMPDIR=/data/data/com.starlon.froyvisuals exec /data/local/Inst/bin/valgrind $VGPARAMS $* And here's setprop: adb shell
