I have a problem with the Android Studio debugger: every breakpoint I set inside a static method is completely ignored. The ones set in non-static methods, on the other hand, work perfectly.
In fact, even if I break just before calling a static method and then manually "step into" it doesn't work. When I step into, it takes me past all the code in my static method to the first piece of code inside a non-static one.
How can I solve this? It makes finding bugs extremely difficult, since I have several helper classees with static methods in my project.
Additional information
Android studio version: 1.2.1.1
Testing on Galaxy s5 - Android Lollipop
Already tried invalidating cache / restarting / cleaning and rebuilding project
No overloaded methods
Didn't touch proguard rules
Minification is not enabled
The code is actually being executed (tested with logcat messages)
Example code:
private void LoadAvailableExperiments(){ //non static methods, breakpoints work fine here
try {
List<ExperimentStoreEntry> storedExperiments = PackageHelpers.GetStoredExperiments(true); //call to static method
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//rest of the method
}
Then, inside PackageHelpers class:
public static List<ExperimentStoreEntry> GetStoredExperiments(boolean cleanInvalidEntries){ //static method. Breakpoints don't work here
List<ExperimentStoreEntry> entries = new LinkedList<>(); //breakpoint here is never hit
File dir = new File(IOHelpers.getExperimentsStoragePath()); //nor here
if(dir.exists()) { //nor here... etc...
for (File subdir : dir.listFiles()) {
//rest of the code I won't bore you with...
}
return entries;
}
EDIT: please, if you -1 the question, at least say why in the comments so I can improve it. I don't know what else to add frankly :/
