Unable to debug using GDB

Question

Trying to debug a native Android Application. The gdbserver and gdb-setup files have been created. A breakpoint has been set in the native code, but the debugger never gets initiated and the breakpoint is never hit.

Answer 1

Based on the details level you've provided, it's really hard to guess what could have happened, but in such case you can start with following things:

1. Check whether you have proper port forwarding setup between host and target
2. Check whether gdbserver executable at target have proper access persmissions in order to be executed.
3. Try to use "am" (ActivityManager) approach and connect gdb to a running proccess.
