I am getting familiar with debugging from eclipse. I have a thread that runs in the background, and set a breakpoint in that file. When I debug my program, I never see it stop there or display the file that the break is in. Do I need to do something special in order to select which thread I'm debugging?
No, I have no trouble at all with breakpoints in a multithreaded application.
Note that Eclipse only pauses one thread at a time, which means that other threads keep running while you're stopped at a breakpoint.
Sometimes this complicates debugging, sometimes helps (since the UI thread keeps running).
There may be a setting somewhere in Eclipse to pause all threads, but I've never bothered to look.
Also, as I step through my program, I eventually get to parts of the Android system, where I'm in the dark. I get a message about the source file not being available which makes sense. I just keep hitting F7, and eventually get back to my code. Is this a normal routine that people go through, and can I get and install the source somewhere so that I could actually step through the Android code?
I have Android sources installed on my system for debugging (2.3.2, matching my phone) and browsing (2.2, matching my build target), and it really helps in about 3-5% of debugging cases.
You can use Peco Haris' plugin for Eclipse, or you can download and install the sources yourself, following my instructions:
