Unable to use Eclipse's Scrapbook inside an Android project

Question

It is okay when I create a Scrapbook inside a normal Eclipse Java project, but when I create a Scrapbook inside an Android project, and enter a simple code like

System.out.println("foo");

It said "Unable to launch the Scrapbook VM"

As this method does not involve any Android library, why this does not work?

Are you trying to print out system message? you can use toast or a debugger message. — 0gravity, Jul 27 '12 at 04:51

I ran into this problem today and i'm afraid that there is no way to run a scrapbook into an Android project, since i can't find a solution anywhere (and i've been looking for it for some hour).

I even tried to change the Runtime JRE for the scrapbook (right-click on scrapbook file -> properties -> Scrapbook Runtime -> "Runtime JRE") since default JRE reports "Project JRE(undefined)". Nothing changed.

I'm writing this because i hope to save time to some other person.

You don't need to create new scrapbook page in android projects. Use Display view instead "in a scrapbook type fashion". source: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecbug/

If you are not debugging the application you can't use display there but its not the case of scrapbook – Aug 08 '13 at 09:21
you right, this feature works only while debugging application – Oleg Koshkin Aug 26 '13 at 13:16
after stopping at breakpoint you can write arbitrary code at display window and 1 - inspect result, 2- execute (change values on the fly) – Oleg Koshkin Aug 27 '13 at 07:58
you can use watch to write arbitrary code but only at break mode – Aug 27 '13 at 08:03
