[HowTo] Show Debug symbols with ndk-stack and QtAndroid on crash

beku2

Steps to show debug lines for a NDK C code project:

enable Debug in your CMake project or in QtCreator
deploy to Android
locate your NDK install path containing the ndk-stack binary or start script
locate your BUILD_PATH containing your libproject-abiXXX.so or likewise named binary objects
That could be in build/Qt_6_11_1_f_r_Android_arm64_v8a_Debug/ for a QtCreator project.
let your project crash
call on Unix in a command line (assuming one single device connection):

logcat=logcat.txt
adb logcat -d > $logcat
$NDK/ndk-stack -sym $BUILD_PATH -dump $logcat

ndk-stack greps the crashes and prints them with resolved code line numbers for you

@beku2 Hi,

Do I get correctly that you are giving instructions on how to show these debug symbols ?

If that is indeed the case, then I would recommend to change the title to something like [HowTo] Show Debug... so that it tells people that there are instructions rather than a question and use the "Topic Tools" button to make it a "Normal Topic" because otherwise it will look like an unanswered question rather than a helpful howto.
