I don't know how to use a watch in Android Studio. I want to see how the value of a variable modifies through debugging. Does anyone know how to do this?

YES you can! In other words, you can view variable changes at run time!
Setting a Watch on a Variable, Field, or Other Expression To set a watch on an identifier such as a variable or field, right-click the variable or field in the Source Editor and choose New Watch. The identifier is then added to the Watches window. To create a watch for another expression: Choose Run | New Watch.
You can change a variable in the Evaluate dialog or in the Watch List panel. The Evaluate dialog: To invoke the dialog, press the Call the Evaluate Dialog button on the Debug toolbar, or press the Ctrl+F12 shortcut (this is the default shortcut. You can change it any time.
Start by putting a break point in the class where you'd want to watch a specific variable. Run the code and once it hits your breakpoint from the Variables window frame you should see all of the variables that are accessible. Simply choose the one you'd want to watch and then right click and choose "Add to watches" from the drop-down.
Keep debugging and you should see the variable from the Watches window frame update when appropriate based on your code.
