Debug Better in Android Studio

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Demos show concrete debugger features and measurable fixes: a smart stepping demo and Compose recomposition inspection that reports which parameter is unstable and why (lists, wrapper state) rather than just logging counts. Tools and fixes include ADB Wi‑Fi, ADB platform‑tools updates and USB3 cable checks, plus an ADB packet sniffer that uncovers a legacy 3s wait reduced to ~20ms. Live tricks include conditional breakpoints, force‑return, per‑thread suspend and breakpoint groups — all shown working on a buggy demo game.
