tns debug android

==========

Usage Synopsis
Deploy on device/emulator, run the app, follow generated link to use in Chrome Developer Tools, and attach the debugger $ tns debug android
Deploy on device/emulator, run the app and stop at the first code statement $ tns debug android --debug-brk [--device <Device ID>] [--timeout <timeout>]
Deploy in the native emulator, run the app and stop at the first code statement $ tns debug android --debug-brk --emulator [--timeout <timeout>]
Attach the debug tools to a running app on device/emulator $ tns debug android --start [--device <Device ID>] [--timeout <timeout>]
Attach the debug tools to a running app in the native emulator $ tns debug android --start --emulator [--timeout <timeout>]

Prepares, builds and deploys the project when necessary. Debugs your project on a connected device or emulator. While debugging, prints the output from the application in the console and watches for changes in your code. Once a change is detected, it synchronizes the change with the selected device and restarts the application.

Options

  • --device - Specifies a connected device/emulator on which to debug the app.
  • --emulator - Specifies that you want to debug the app in the native Android emulator.
  • --debug-brk - Prepares, builds and deploys the application package on a device/emulator, generates a link for Chrome Developer Tools and stops at the first code statement.
  • --start - Attaches the debug tools to a deployed and running app.
  • --timeout - Sets the number of seconds that the NativeScript CLI will wait for the emulator/device to boot. If not set, the default timeout is 90 seconds.
  • --no-watch - If set, changes in your code will not be reflected during the execution of this command.
  • --clean - If set, forces rebuilding the native application.
  • --syncAllFiles - Watches all production dependencies inside node_modules for changes. Triggers project rebuild if necessary!

Attributes

  • <Device ID> is the device identifier or name of the target device as listed by $ tns device android

<% if(isHtml) { %>

Prerequisites

  • You must have Chrome installed on your system.
