This tutorial shows how to build and debug the San-Angeles<\/strong> sample provided with Android NDK.<\/p>\n

Before you begin, please install VisualGDB 2.0<\/a> or later (ensure that “Android Edition” is checked in the installer). If you are not familiar with VisualGDB, please first go through the Android Quickstart tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Warning! The Android Emulator does
\nnot support OpenGL. You will need a real device for this
\ntutorial.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start Visual Studio. Select File->New project->VisualGDB->Android Project Wizard.\"01-newprj\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Enter the path where you want to copy the sample and an arbitrary project name (e.g. SanAngelesTest).<\/li>\n
  3. Select “Clone a sample from NDK”.\"02-clone\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Select “San-Angeles” from the sample list.\"03-sanangeles\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Keep the default Android 1.6 platform and press Finish<\/strong>.\"04-platform\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. The san-angeles project folder includes files from Windows and Linux ports of the demo that won’t compile on Android. Select them in Solution Explorer, right-click and select “Remove”.\"05-remove\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Press “remove” in the confirmation window.\"06-confirm\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Build the project by selecting “Build->Build All”.<\/li>\n
  9. Prepare your device for debugging (follow this manual<\/a> if doing it for the first time) and connect it to PC.<\/li>\n
  10. In Visual Studio select “Android->Debug Android App”.\"07-debug\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  11. VisualGDB will deploy the app automatically and start it. If your device supports OpenGL, you will see the demo on the screen:\"08-run\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. To test debugging functionality, set a breakpoint on the prepareFrame()<\/strong> function by navigating there in Visual Studio and pressing F9. The breakpoint will trigger almost immediately:\"09-stack\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  13. You can use the usual Visual Studio tools to examine call stack, variables and threads, or the GDB Session window to send commands directly to GDB.<\/li>\n
  14. To finish debugging, press Shift+F5.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
