How to debug two processes in Android?

Question

In my application an activity starts a service which runs as a separate process, I want to debug the Activity as well as the service but debugger does not stop at the breakpoints in service?

Thanks for help.

Answer 1

Just to elaborate on the other answers here, you can temporarily put android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger(); in the code of your secondary process to make this easier.

Then, just attach your debugger to the process via DDMS or IntelliJ (or whatever you're using).
