Project debugging while using androidannotations

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Debugging with Netbeans.
Debbuger connects to process correctly, breakpoint being added, however it 
never hits them.
Just found this project and maybe fully don't understand how it works. But my 
first thought would be that it's related to fact that activities being 
subclassed.

I didn't found anything related with this question, so can you confirm that 
debugging isn't working? Or it is just Netbeans issue.

Hello !

The truth is : we never tested AndroidAnnotations with Netbeans, mainly because 
the Android teams write Eclipse plugins, not Netbeans plugins, so there are not 
a lot of Netbeans users amongst the Android community, AFAIK. But that doesn't 
mean it won't work with Netbeans.

So, could you please sum up what you did ? Do you use Maven or not ? How did 
you configure Netbeans to use the AnnotationProcessor (maybe it handles that 
all alone).

Does AndroidAnnotations generate subclasses (MyActivity_.java) when you use it 
with Netbeans ? I would say 'yes' from what you explained, but I'm not sure so 
please be explicit about this ;-) .

AndroidAnnotations is only doing one thing : generating activity subclasses at 
compile time. When those classes are generated, they should be then part of the 
APK that is installed on the phone. Therefore, if you put a breakpoint in a 
subclass (MyActivity_), it should work.

Please provide a detailed explanation of what you did, and maybe we can go 
through this together and see what's wrong.

False alarm. At work I had created quite big project with this library and 
debugger was struggling. Can't access that project right now. However created 
smaller one and it works flawlessly. Tomorrow I will look what is wrong with 
that biggie :)

Speaking about Netbeans it has nbandroid plugin which works quite good. Plugin 
uses standart android ant project structure. So everything what meets android 
project structure should work on Netbeans. Eclipse had a little bit different 
its own structure but since android sdk tools 14r everything should be even 
more similar.

Ok, thanks. 

So you are saying that on a small projects, AndroidAnnotations works with 
Netbeans, right ?

If you have a few minutes, could you write down the steps you followed to 
create a new Android project that uses AndroidAnnotations with Netbeans ? Like 
a beginners tutorial (click here, etc).

Let me know about the errors in your bigger project.

Thanks !

So I cleaned & rebuilded project. Debugging works like a charm. I was editing 
my old project. Probably something messed up with previously compiled classes. 
This can be safely resolved as invalid, if even is some problems it's nbandroid 
plugins.

Nbandroid uses android ant project structure 
(http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-cmdline.html). 
There is absolutely no configuration needed, just add androidannotations 
library to libs folder and everything works. This is same recipe for netbeans, 
command line projects and I believe for all other IDE except eclipse which have 
adt plugin.

Thank you for your attention and sorry for disturbing you with false 
information :)
