Android NDK app cannot hit any breakpoint

Question

I am using the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjsC-lKUgM8 tutorial to try and debug a simple NDK application. I did everything as it is in the video, except:

• I am using OS X 10.9.3 instead of Windows.
• I do not use android:debuggable=true(because eclipse considers it to be an error) in AndroidManifest.xml instead I set the NDK path from Preferences->Android->NDKand to Project Properties -> C/C++ Buildunchecked Use default build commandand installed there ndk-build NDK_DEBUG=1 APP_OPTIM=debug.
• I do not use x86 emulator, but a Samsung Duos Sdevice withAndroid 4.0.4

But the breakpoiin that is used in the video does not fall into my case. I am trying to debug a simple NDK test project already on the 4th day. We studied a lot of materials:

• Android Native Development Kit Poker Book
• A bunch of forums and guides
• Video

But he can't get to any damned breakpoint. Please help if you can do this.

Below is a snippet of a tutorial that I wrote for our internal Android development team. The bulk of which was derived from this blog: http://mhandroid.wordpress.com/

Important notes:

• I am using a Linux environment (Ubuntu 12.04) to work with Android.
• I used the ADT Bundle for Linux, Build: v22.2.1-833290 (Eclipse IDE + Extras).
• These steps are for debugging from Java activity to a common JNI object.
