Fail to attach debugger

[yydmay]

Hi there,

I am fairly new to Android in VSCode, trying to debug my android app in VSCode, I followed instruction to setup launch file but got this message when press the debug button

Attaching to pid 9843 on device (mydevice id here) [API:26] Attach failed: A debugger connection to pid 9843 could not be established. JDWP socket read failed. Socket closed. Ensure any instances of Android Studio are closed and ADB is running.

I've google'd bit but wasn't able to find any solutions. any one has a clue?

forgot to attach launch config, its auto generated one, didn't make changes, VScode version is 1.55.2 { // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes. // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes. // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387 "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "android", "request": "launch", "name": "Android launch", "appSrcRoot": "${workspaceRoot}\src\main", "apkFile": "${workspaceRoot}\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk", "adbPort": 5037 }, { "type": "android", "request": "attach", "name": "Android attach", "appSrcRoot": "${workspaceRoot}\src\main", "adbSocket": "localhost:5037", "processId": "${command:PickAndroidProcess}" } ] }

Hi @yydmay - just to confirm that you read the error message:

• is adb running? If you execute adb shell in a terminal window, does it connect to your device?
• Do you have Android Studio running in the background? AS is known to cause problems with other apps that use adb. You must make sure no AS instances are running.

What OS are you using?

Hi @adelphes

Closed my AS and tried again, and everything is working as expected. Now I can get rid of this resource hog. Thanks for your help.
