JetBrains PlatformNew in 10.5: Attach debugger to a running Android process
Recently, we’ve introduced a new feature that should make it MUCH easier to debug your Android applications. Now, you can attach IntelliJ IDEA debugger to any process running on an Android device or in the emulator, which is related to the source code of your project.
Just click “Attach debugger to Android process” toolbar button and you’ll see the list of processes grouped by device they are running on:
Note: to be shown in the list above the name of the process should be specified in AndroidManifest.xml as a “package” or “process” XML attribute.
The feature is, of course, available in the IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 Release Candidate. So, you are welcome to try and let us know what you think.
Comments below can no longer be edited.

May 18, 2011In the Choose process dialog I see the device id but there is no list of processes.
This is while the Android Logcat view is working.
‘adb shell ps’ works too.

July 27, 2011Hi,
I have the actual device and an emulator running at the same time and the process can be selected for debugging in the emulator but not on the device (Nexus S). When I execute:
./adb -d shell ps
I can see the process listed:
app_72 14591 75 112724 34324 ffffffff 00000000 S au.com.objectconsulting.vodafone.mobile.gss
this is using IntelliJ 10.5.1 on OSX Lion

November 17, 2011I am experiencing the same issue as the user above in that I see the device id but no processes. I’ve specified various combination of the package and process attributes in the manifest file but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated!

March 1, 2012Hi,
I am a Android mobile developer, I need to develop/debug with full code base that include the framework.
Eclipse can load full code base as following,
http://source.android.com/source/using-eclipse.html
Can IntelliJ possible load full android code base just like Eclipse? How?

March 4, 2015Hi there,
Please can someone respond to the issue of IntelliJ showing the device ID but not showing the processes on that actual device.
I am having this issue and I cant find a solution anywhere on the net.
Thanks

September 20, 2017In case anyone else gets stuck and finds this in the future, for me the fix was to close the Android Device Monitor. It seems that and the IntelliJ debugger fight each other for control of the device.
