- Not more not less.Its just a case of adding a single line of code to start debugging your service,it gives you the knowledge of your precious app's working and helps to get live error reports line by line as debugging just android GUI application.
- Just add the code snippet below into your service's onStart or onCreate or where do in the code you want to debug.
android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();
- The above piece of code will do the magic.Just put your break point after the above code like this.
Key Points :-
- Don't forget to debug the app not just running the application.
- Please place the waitForDebugger code snippet before the break point you have placed,so that it can caught up.
Enjoy debugging your precious intensive service.
