Debugging in Eclipse

[Braden Shepherdson <br...@chromium.org>]

Is it possible, when debugging a Cordova app on Android, to import the
source code for the framework into a project, instead of just the jar?

I'm hoping to set a breakpoint in the native code and have it trigger while
I'm running my app. My Eclipse-fu is weak.

How I do it:


   1. Delete Cordova.jar and remove it from build paths
   2. Open the cordova/framework project in your workspace
   3. Open framework's project properties -> Android, and check "Is Library"
   4. Open your project's properties -> Android and click "Add..." to add it

This way when you edit a framework source file and press debug, it will
pick up your change.

Yes, it is.  However, I just provide a reference for my debugging,
since I want to have as little Eclipse magic in my work as possible.
In your Android project, you need to have something like this in your
cordova-2.0.0.jar.properties file:

cordova-2.0.0.jar.properties:
    src="/Path/to/your/incubator-cordova-android/framework"

This should allow you to debug Cordova on Android. You can't do it
through Eclipse because Google broke it a while ago and didn't fully
fix it.  It does help to have the framework project in Eclipse as
well.
