What you describe using F7 is fairly normal. But since single-stepping
through code is tedious, and the tedium is fruitless when you don't
have the source, I usually use Step UP instead of Step Over once I
land in Android system code. I also use breakpoints in Android more
heavily than I do in other debugging/development environments to avoid
landing in the system code in the first place.
