I'm not a developer, so i apologize if I don't phrase the question effectively.
I'm looking for a tool that will help show me what code is being executed as I step through the program. i am not looking to much more than take look under the hood as I test new features & uncover bugs for the new Android app my company is making.
Are there any specific emulators or tools that I could use for this simplistic purpose?
Thanks!
Android Studio has a built-in debugger. See here
There are many ways for to make a debug inside Android Studio.
1-Debug using Logs
2-With logs lines and see on Logcat tool
3-With Breakpoints
and others.

Because Google told me to, I've been using Log.I , Log.E etc commands throughout my code during development.
This of course has been quite helpful during testing and debugging.
However an application that I have deployed seems to be crashing sometimes, something which I cannot replicate.
Is there a way to retrieve the logs created through the aforementioned commands from the device? I've been through the whole google development site, but there seems to be nothing on the subject (or I am missing something)
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
Try to look at ACRA and Crashlytics, this tools should help you.
I want to make an Android Application On Eclipse IDE using Phonegap but dont the how to make it and find out online tutorials as well but they are not usefull if anyone can help me with this.

Here is the step by step process. Every step is well explained with possible screenshots. It will help you.
Eclipse-PhoneGap Tutorial
few days ago, when I was debugging an Android project under eclipse I've found some great functionality: "All instances..." and "Instance count". I wanted to share my findings with rest of my colleagues, but none of them had this functionality in their eclipse install (we all use eclipse 3.7).
What's even more weird now I'm also missing this functionality.
As far as I can tell this functionality is build within eclipse from version 3.3 and available to projects using Java 1.6 and above as mentioned here and here (we're using 1.6).
See bottom of this link to see what functionality I'm talking about. It even has it's own shortcut in options (ctrl+shift+n) so I think there must be a way to use it again.
I was looking for it while debugging and while the debugger was in "stopped" state.
Anyone can help me put eclipse in right view/perspective/state to see this functionality again?
EDIT
Here is the documentation entry from eclipse help page: link
Thanks for any suggestions,

After some more digging I came to following conclusion:
DalvikVM does not support "instance retrieval".
On eclipse help page mentioned in EDIT section it written:
This command is only available if the Java virtual machine you are currently using supports instance retrieval.
Maybe there is an option to enable this option in DalvikVM, but I doubt it unfortunately.
Also when debugging on phone "Drop to frame" functionality is missing.
I am developing android app for a a couple of months and still in the learning process.
I often feel the need to drill down deeper into code for certain issues that don't make sense to me. For example when I see crashes in apps and the stack trace is shown,, containing SDK classes Looper etc...
So I was wondering if it is possible to debug through sdk code while debugging ?
currently I am writting for platform API 7 and 8. when we download the SDK is the source code SDK source accessible as well ? and if so can we debug it ??
Thanks,
Vogella gives a tutorial on how to do this. It is a plugin. So just click the link.
It is the number 2 in the article.
Let me know if it helped. =)
Im fairly new at programming and was wondering if the Jigloo gui builder plugin would work with android app developement. I have Eclipse setup with the android sdk plugin configured, after seeing what Jigloo can do and that you can see the source code after creating the gui iI figured this would be a helpful tool to use.
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me if it does work and how to configure it.
Thank you in advance
AFAIK, Jigloo has nothing to do with Android, sorry.
Android has its own GUI framework and doesn't use Swing/SWT (what Jigloo seems to be for), so I don't think you can use it to build Android GUIs. When you open a layout XML file in Eclipse and click the 'layout' tab, you can get a rough idea of what it will look like anyway.
You could check out DroidDraw if you want a drag and drop GUI builder, although I'm not sure how regularly updated it is.
