In this video we will learn how to use the Android Studio (IntelliJ IDEA) debugger to find logical bugs in our code.
With the debugger we can set breakpoints, step through our code line by line, examine and change variables at runtime, inspect frames and threads, evaluate expressions and code fragments and much more.
We will learn how to use the “step over”, “step into”, “step out”, “run to cursor”, “smart step into”, “force step over”, “force step into” and “force run to cursor” buttons, how to add watches and use “set value” to change variables at runtime, how to set conditions on breakpoints, create expection breakpoints and disable breakpoints temporarily, how to observe the debugging overhead, how to resume the app, how to attach the debugger to a running process and more.
