Debugging Android apps from JDB(within Emacs)

Ok, so I've been trying to debug Android apps from jdb.

I run the emulator, install the app, run ddms and then I launch the app and then select it in DDMS. Now I run jdb with the following command

jdb -attach localhost:8700 -sourcepath /project-root/src

jdb is able to attach to the process, and then a command such as

stop in com.android.helloworld.onClick

works well.

However, when I use C-x space in Emacs, it runs a command with the line number,

stop at com.android.helloworld:22

and I get this output

Unable to set breakpoint com.android.helloworld:22 : No code at line 22 in com.android.helloworld

I have checked that the line number is correct, and tried to pass the filename itself, to no avail. Any ideas?

The Android SDK comes with an android.el that has the 'android-jdb' command in it. That will set up the keybindings correctly for you. (At least, I presume it will, I didn't try those keybindings last time I was using it.)

As a bonus, if you try out CEDET from the bzr trunk, it includes android support. After basic CEDET setup (see cedet.info for android details) it has a convenience for quickly starting up the debugger and attaching to your device with the debugger. It supports some other fun stuff too.
