<div dir="ltr">Hi Carlos,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for the answer, I am experienced in Android development but I still find it hard to combine the ves library and the android project in Eclipse with all the makefiles and stuff. So you used visual studio for compiling that's ok.. but you can't put a breakpoint in that while an android app is working in your phone right? So are you basically making the modifications in the windows side checking it and importing them to android?</div>
<div><br></div><div style>I am actually trying to migrate the build process from build files to the android ndk-build. Then maybe I can try ndk-gdb: <a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/usingthendkplugin">http://tools.android.com/recent/usingthendkplugin</a></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">So I would say that in theory it is possible to create an eclipse project for building the Ves libraries but medium / advanced android develop knowledge using Eclipse is required. If not I would recommend you to compile the Desktop version and check there your changes. Then you can use Eclipse for the debugging the java code.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I have succesfully compiled VES and run the Kiwi application from Eclipse by following the instructions here: <a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VES/Developers_Guide_(Windows)" target="_blank">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VES/Developers_Guide_(Windows)</a><u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">However, I would like to create an IDE setup to rapidly make code changes in kiwi and ves-android source code and debug these changes (if possible). Thus, I tried to create Eclipse project files with CMake and I imported it. However, there were problems during the build process. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I will not mentioned about the problems I encounter during the Eclipse import but I would like to ask some simple questions:<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">1- Would it be possible for me to debug the ves-android application from Eclipse? e.g. running the Android app and putting a breakpoint in ves-android source code to see when it's called.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">2- Can I add the ves-android project(if I can add it to Eclipse) to the android ndk project (the real android project) as a reference in Eclipse? So when I make a change in the ves-android code the ndk project gets compiled again?<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Previously I worked with android ndk and created a good Eclipse setup with autocompletion and auto-build features but I am not sure if it is possible with an additional project, in this case ves-android.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I am looking forward for some answers or at least someone can say it's not possible and I can manually build the ves-code from command console and run the android application from eclipse.<u></u><u></u></p>
