Debugging and Testing

 Debugging and Testing

Debugging and testing are important aspects of Android development, as they help ensure that the application works as intended and is free of bugs and issues. Android provides several tools and frameworks to support debugging and testing, such as Android Studio's debugger, the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), and the Android Testing Support Library.

Here's an example of how to use Android Studio's debugger to debug an application:

// Set a breakpoint in the code

int result = doSomeCalculation();

Log.d(TAG, "Result: " + result);

// Start the application in debug mode

// Click "Debug" instead of "Run" in Android Studio

// Interact with the application to trigger the breakpoint

// Use the debugger to inspect variables and step through the code

In the above example, we set a breakpoint in the code using the debugger. We then start the application in debug mode by clicking "Debug" instead of "Run" in Android Studio, and interact with the application to trigger the breakpoint. Finally, we use the debugger to inspect variables and step through the code to diagnose any issues.
