How to configure which project to debug?

I want to run two different Android apps from Eclipse (in two different types of Emulators) simultaneously but step through one of them, in which I've set breakpoints.

How do I configure which of the two apps is the one being debugged? It's not possible to debug both simultaneously, is it (with breakpoints in each project)?

If you take a look at this image, you can see that the "Devices" tab in the DDMS perspective has a "Bug" icon (the first one). If you highlight your running app (in whichever emulator it is) and click that button, debugging will become enabled for that app. If you have any breakpoints set in your code it will hit them and the debug view will open. That's the easiest way to debug a running application. I find this is the best approach because running the whole app in debug mode is slow. It's better to start debugging once you are close to where you actually want to step through.

You can also do this on an actual device, but you will need to set the debuggable="true" flag in the manifest, otherwise your app won't show in the list.
