Debugging Android native application using ndk-gdb

Question

I am trying to debug my android application having some native(c++) code using ndk-gdb in eclipse.It seems that by gdb server starts successfully from command line and is taking commands. But in eclipse it is showing this error : Error while obtaining file from device com.android.ddmlib.SyncException: Writing local file failed

Any one help me please.

I encounter the same problem. Did you eventually found a solution? — vcattin, Jul 02 '14 at 10:23

It seems that the framework for debugging requires an obj/local/armeabi folder.

If you open the launch file for native debugging, .metadata/.plugins/org.ecipse.debug.core/.launches/*.launch, you'll see a reference in that xml file:

<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.cdt.launch.PROGRAM_NAME" value="/projectroot/obj/local/armeabi/app_process"/>

Once I created this folder on disk this error subsided, and I was able to debug. There may be a more correct way to fix this, but I simply decided it was simple enough to create this folder.

Nice, thanks. In my case I had to add an `obj/local/armeabi-v7a` folder. — nneonneo, Feb 04 '15 at 07:38
