android debugger does not stop at breakpoints

Issue

I am seeing debug statements in the console but the debugger does not stop on any breakpoints. I tried clearing all breakpoints and adding them back in. Not sure how this can happen but it is.

Solution

Have you set the debuggable flag in the AndroidManifest? If you miss that, do so by adding android:debuggable="true" in the application tag. It should look like that in the end:

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:debuggable="true">
