i m trying to debug my jni section of application by running ngk-gdb on windows machine with android-ndk-r8b.
i am using cygwin and c/c++ plugin for eclipse.my device is galaxy s, android 2.3.7
what i did is followed the instructions on Using Eclipse for Android C/C++ Debugging,
but i am stuck on running ndk-gdb, getting this error:
Device CPU ABIs: armeabi-v7a armeabi
ERROR: The device does not support the application's targetted CPU ABIs!
Device supports: armeabi-v7a armeabi
Package supports:
thx for your help
I encountered the problem recently and in my case it was a cygwin issue. make was not installed in cygwin and this created problems further along in the ndk-gdb script. After installing make using the cygwin setup.exe (select make under Devel - on another recommendation, I also installed tcsh under Shells), the "ABIS targetted by application:" line shows the app's targeted ABI.
Without make:
/cygdrive/c/work/android/android-ndk-r8b-windows/android-ndk-r8b/ndk-gdb: line 105: make: command not found
ABIs targetted by application:
Device API Level: 15
Device CPU ABIs: armeabi-v7a armeabi
ERROR: The device does not support the application's targetted CPU ABIs!
Device supports: armeabi-v7a armeabi
Package supports:
With make properly installed:
ABIs targetted by application: armeabi-v7a
Device API Level: 15
Device CPU ABIs: armeabi-v7a armeabi
Compatible device ABI: armeabi-v7a
Application.mk, located in the jni folder, can be used to specify the app's targeted ABI - an example:
APP_ABI := armeabi-v7a
APP_OPTIM := debug
Good luck!
For all others like me with Nexus (devices) updated with Android 4.3 there are bugs that hinder Native code debugging. (I tried everything found on SO :)
- Either root your device and try
- Or Update nexus 4.3 factory image here (and this is reported working by google android dev)
- Or wait for Android 4.4 update to come to your device (as bug is identified and fix in the source tree by Google by not yet packaged
released)
