In Xcode I am able to "po" any values while debugging. Is there a way to do this in Android Studio?
For example, if I hit a breakpoint and want to print out certain values in realtime as opposed to having to use Logs in my code?

Hover over a variable to see its value. When stopped in the debugger hover the mouse cursor over the variable you want to look at. The DataTip will appear showing you the value of that variable. If the variable is an object, you can expand the object by clicking on the arrow to see the elements of that object.
Print statement debugging is a process in which a developer instruments their application with “printf” statements to generate output while the program is executing. The output generated helps diagnose issues within the program.
Press Ctrl+Shift+d or Ctrl+Shift+i on a selected variable or expression to show its value. You can also add a permanent watch on an expression/variable that will then be shown in the Expressions view when debugging is on.
You can click on the Run icon in the gutter area and select the Debug option. You can invoke context actions on the class or main method by using Alt+Enter and choose the Debug action. You can also start it from the Run menu, or by pressing Shift F9.
You can do the following steps:
1- Set BreakPoint in the line you want to evaluate Ctrl+F8.
2- Run your code in debug mode or press Shift+F9.
3- When reached to the BreakPoint press Alt+F8 or click on the following button.
4- Then type your value in text-field and click on the Evaluate button.
