SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers verify that their Android debugger environment (JDK + adb) is correctly installed and configured, preventing debugging setup guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

Environment probe: checks server reachability and required tools (server_info, adb_status, and device list).
Guided remediation: surfaces targeted install hints for missing components and config issues.
Pre-attach readiness: confirms at least one device or emulator is available before attempting to attach.

Quick Start

Run ad-setup after installing the plugin to verify server info, adb status, and device connectivity.

FAQPage Schema

How do I verify my Android debugger environment is configured correctly?▼

Checking your Android debugger setup involves probing server jar presence, confirming JDK version 17 or higher, and validating the adb path to ensure device connectivity before attempting to attach a debugger.

Why does my Android debugger fail to attach to an emulator?▼

Your Android debugger attachment fails when pre-attach readiness checks detect no available devices or emulators, or when the server jar is missing, the JDK version is below 17, or the adb path is invalid.

Do I need JDK 17 or higher to use the Android debugger?▼

Yes, you need JDK 17 or higher for the Android debugger environment, as the setup validation enforces this minimum version requirement and provides targeted install hints if the detected JDK is lower or missing entirely.

What is the best way to check if adb is accessible on my developer workstation?▼

The best way to check if adb is accessible is to run an environment probe that validates the adb path, confirms server reachability, and lists available devices or emulators to ensure full debugger connectivity.

How do I fix missing components when setting up the Android debugger toolkit?▼

To fix missing components during Android debugger toolkit setup, follow the guided remediation hints provided by the environment probe, which identify missing elements and offer targeted installation steps for the server, JDK, and adb.
