How to use Monitor DDMS tool to debug application

Question

I m switching my development environment from Eclipse to Android Studio these days  And I really enjoy its autocompletion and many other features this IDE provide  However  I have some problem when doing debugging   I hope to use Monitor tool which this IDE provided  self-included DDMS and very nice visual interface to track memory usage  thread condition and so on  But I can t find a way that this could support step by step using breakpoints I have to create  That red dot in editor   I can only do step by step debug by not open this Monitor  Since when I try to use Monitor while the debugger is running  it will popup a window asking me to disconnect the ADB first  I also can t find a place to start the application from Monitor   Is there a way to do step by step debug while using Monitor at the same time in Android Studio

I think that I got a solution for this  You don t have to start monitor but you can use DDMS instead almost like in Eclipse   Start Android Studio-  pick breakpoint-  Run-  Debug-  Go to  sdk tools in Terminal window and run ddms bat to run DDMS without Monitor running  since it won t let you run ADB   You can now start profiling or debug step-by-step   Hope this helps you   See image here

As far as I know  currently  Android Studio 2 3  there is no way to do this   As per Android Studio documentation    Note  Only one debugger can be connected to your device at a time    When you attempt to connect Android Device Monitor it disconnects Android Studio s debug session and vice versa  when you attempt to connect Android Studio s debugger  it disconnects Android Device Monitor   Fortunately the new version of Android Studio  3 0  will feature a Device File Explorer that will allow you to pull files from within Android Studio without the need to open the Android Device Monitor which should resolve the problem
