Where the server finds an adb daemon, it sets up a connection to that port. It locates emulator/device instances by scanning odd-numbered ports in the range 5555 to 5585, the range used by emulators/devices. The server then sets up connections to all running emulator/device instances. When the server starts, it binds to local TCP port 5037 and listens for commands sent from adb clients-all adb clients use port 5037 to communicate with the adb server. If there isn't, it starts the server process. When you start an adb client, the client first checks whether there is an adb server process already running.

The server manages communication between the client and the adb daemon running on an emulator or device.Ī daemon, which runs as a background process on each emulator or device instance. Other Android tools such as the ADT plugin and DDMS also create adb clients.Ī server, which runs as a background process on your development machine. You can invoke a client from a shell by issuing an adb command. because it means studio is connected with ddms now.Ĩ) from emulator, launch any app/ or your simple app.ĩ) breakpoint will be intercepted, if not try restart the app in emulator again.Ī client, which runs on your development machine. (now you will notice ddms's system_process has an special bug icon)Ħ) open file $(Android_Studio)/sdk/sources/android-17/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java in android studio, and then set a breakpoint at: realStartActivityLocked(…) funcħ) IMPORTANT STEP: in android studio, from bottom pane, select Debugger -> Threads, WAIT threads are populated. (Tools -> Android - > Android Device Monitor)Ĥ) for the simple project, config debug profiles: remote 8700, Run->Edit Configurations -> + -> Remote -> port 8700ĥ) from the simple project. (File-> Project Structure-> app under Modules -> Flavor)ģ) open ddms, highlight system_process, that is it. I choose API 17 because it doesn't have emulator rotate bug.Ġ) make sure your android studio has downloaded sdk 17 with sources.ġ) create any simple android project.
