viewing canvas/bitmap on the fly while debugging in eclipse

Question

Is there a way to debug canvas/bitmaps on Eclipse? I was wondering if I could view how the current canvas/bitmap looks when I set a breakpoint at a particular line.

Answer 1

Viewing bitmaps while debugging is possible now (though only with Android Studio).

From the release notes for version 0.8.7 (Aug 21, 2014)

Bitmap rendering in the debugger

While debugging, you can now right click on variables in your app that are of type Bitmap, and invoke View Bitmap:

This will then fetch the associated data from the debugged process and render the bitmap in place in the debugger.
