Drop frame is dangerous, so don't rely on it unless absolutely necessary. What it resets is the function state and moves back the instructions. However, by then if any instructions are happened, like start a thread, the thread will still continue and not be stopped abruptly because you dropped a frame. If one of the instructions adds a value to a list (outside of function, eg., class member) then that value won't be removed back.

Thank you for the tips, they are really helpful.

You missed a few points. Yes you can setup breakpoints with right click. But in case you want the program execution stop for a special condition, you can right click on existing breakpoint and type in condition. That way in case when breakpoint is, say, within a loop - you won't have to click over to reach expected condition and the program will stop only when that condition is met. Also you didn't mention execute code button - very handy. Basically you can execute some additional code in runtime, when reaching a breakpoint that is locally available in current breakpoint step

didn't knew most of these..thank you

That is really helpful guide thanks. Also there is some kind of useful trick on Watches panel that you can manipulate data without rebuilding entire project for example you can change variable of array or swap's current value or something like that and the following code will be go with your manipulated variable.

Video is quite useful for beginners. But there were some points that were not shown, like adding expressions to variables, conditional breakpoints.

I am waiting for the videos day after day, can you explain the paginator,
which you presented in a previous video, with the concept of Resources and Flow that you use in your projects

Is there any chance to debugged a pre-built apks in android studio? If yes, this would be a great to learn. I have an app having an issue if installed on my device as pre-built. But it's working if I installed it directly from Android Studio. Hope you can help me

you missed the most important part that evaluate expressions you can use this icon for, such as you make request to a server and you have different any types of data and your request does not response success in this case you should check which data cause a problem in that poin you should comp related thing to EVALUATE EXPRESSION window and check what is the problem and what is the cause of the problem ;

I cannot figure this out... I have a breakpoint on a Toast message that displays every time the code launches... Put additional breakpoints; on, before, and after. JUST to make sure I didn't do somethin stupid clicking wrong thing. I'm launching code using the debugger icon (not the run icon) just as in your tutorial. I see the debugger panel running at bottom of SDK. Then the Toast message displays but the breakpoint doesn't trip??? Is there a bug in the SDK? I'm super confused, I've used all kinds of debuggers but I have no clue what's going on here. For more details, I'm using the emulator not a external device / not USB debugging. Last note, I can click pause in the debugger panel then step to next line and it works... but it won't trip any breakpoints if I put them in the code. No clue.? There must be a bug no? Any idea how to submit a bug to Google?

UPDATE: There seems to be an issue with the build files. I created a new project and debugger works. However, on this other project, I cannot figure out how to do a clean rebuild. In other SDK's that was pretty clear but here I don't know how to delete intermediate files and create a fresh build?
