If you enable    lt application android debuggable  true  gt   lt  application gt    In the application manifest xml make sure you disable it when generating the final signed apk since this can serve as a security loop hole for attackers   Only use it if only one of your applications does not show the logs  However before considering that option try this   Navigate to tools in the android studio    Tools   gt android   gt disable adb integration and again enable it

Check  if you re app-project is selected in the drop-down menu next to the debug-button  Sometimes Android Studio just resets this selection

Here s a little oops that may catch some  It s pretty easy to accidentally have a filter typed in for the logcat output window  the text box with the magnifying glass  and forget about it  That which will potentially filter out all output and make it look like nothing is there

lt application android debuggable  true  gt   lt  application gt    This no longer works  No need to use debuggable  true  in manifest    Instead  you should set the Build Variants to  debug     In Android Studio  go to BUILD -  Select Build Variant  Now try debugging  Thanks

Over the years I have visited this thread many times and there was always a different response that helped me  This time I figure out that it s my USB hub that was preventing debugger to work properly  As strange as it sounds  instead of having a phone connected to my computer via a USB hub  I had to connect it directly to my mac and debugging started to work

User · Answer

One case where you can be unable to debug an application in Android Studio is when you have the  release  build variant selected  Happened to me - Gradle builds a release version of the app  which is not debuggable  and then Android Studio fails at trying to connect the debugger

lt application android debuggable  true  gt   lt  application gt    That above code is not longer a solution  You need to enable debugging inside your build gradle file  If you have different buildTypes make sure you set  debuggable true  in one of the build types  Here is a sample code from one of my projects   buildTypes       debug           debuggable true            release           debuggable false             I have deleted other lines inside the buildTypes which are not relevant to this question from my gradle file here   Also Make sure you select the correct build variant in your android studio while doing the debugging

There is a Debug icon on the toolbar  It looks like a little  bug  and is located right next to the Run icon  which looks like a play button   Try launching the application with that     Edit  The following is deprecated when using Android Studio with Gradle     There is also a debug flag in the AndroidManifest xml file  It is located under the application tag  and should be set to  true   as follows    lt application android debuggable  true  gt   lt  application gt
