Debugging: All You Need to Know
summary
Shows concrete debugger techniques in Android Studio: use conditional breakpoints and path counts to avoid noisy logs, attach the JVM debugger in four ways (run-with-debug, attach to process, wait-for-debugger flag, programmatic wait), and inspect/watch frames, fields, and evaluate expressions. Demonstrates force return and frame reset to replay outcomes, explains coroutine-name debugging and passing the compiler debug arg to disable optimizations so suspended values remain visible, and warns that debuggable builds slow runtime and require android:debuggable=true.
