At the moment I'm developing an Android app that is based on third party code. I started to set breakpoints for understanding the code and soon ran into a problem. Suddenly I couldn't get Android Studio to stop at breakpoints anymore.
I tried to set the breakpoints within onCreate methods, within buttons' OnClickListeners - nothing worked. Now I found out that the only place it works is inside the app module. As the project just has one single activity class in the app module and everything else is provided within library modules in fact I can't debug at all.
I assume there's something wrong in the AndroidManifest.xml or more likely in the build.gradle file. As I just switched from Eclipse to Android Studio, all of this gradle stuff is pretty new to me.
If I hover over a library breakpoint while the app is running, it tells me that "no executable code [is] found at line ...". I assume this is the cause of my problem, but I have no idea about how to fix it.
Are there any "usual suspects" among the entries in build.gradle that could cause my problem?
I already did clean my project and invalidated the cache without success. I even tried the suggestion to add <activity> entries inside the library module for the fragments inside.
Edit: I'm using the most current version of Android Studio (version 1.1.0 from February 18) which should have the similar bug fixed that existed some time ago.
The contents of build.gradle in the app module:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion project.ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(project.MIN_SDK)
targetSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(project.ANDROID_BUILD_TARGET_SDK_VERSION)

And the build.gradle of library module:

Application.onCreate(). – HailminifyEnabled falseto disable ProGuard as an answer so I can accept it? It is the hint that lead to the right direction and presumably would have helped if I had done everything right ;-) – Hail
