Android studio executing commented lines

Question

I am in the process of debugging an android application using android studio. I commented out certain lines and attached it to the ADB. But when debugging it still executes the commented lines! this is completely strange.

How do I fix this?

Have tried closing and reopening Android Studio, didn't help.

Answer 1

Sometimes this happens to me when Android Studio is not running new code. I usually cannot pin it down on one specific thing (ADB, Android Studio, Build process, etc) so I go for the scorched earth approach.

Uninstall the app via ADB:

adb uninstall <package_name>

Restarting Android Studio may help, but also running a Build > Clean Project

If you have changed any Gradle settings or files you may have to sync those up, so try Syncing Project with your Gradle files.

If this all really doesn't work, a restart of your emulator/physical testing device and computer may be in order.
