How can I debug changes I make in C++ (MapLibre Native Core)?

[KJ-Waller]

Hi! I'm interested in playing around with maplibre native core. I'm able to build the MapLibreAndroidTestApp but when I make changes to any .cpp file part of maplibre native core like /src/mbgl/tile/raster_dem_tile_worker.cpp, Android Studio immediately tells me "This file does not belong to any project target", and so any changes I make aren't reflected when I rebuild the app. I'm fairly new to C++ development, so if anyone would be so kind as to push me in the right direction on how I can get a debug flow going, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Sounds like it should work. Can you share a screenshot?

I'm an idiot 🤦, sorry. I added a debug log to raster_dem_tile_worker.cpp, built but didn't see the log, but the issue was that the dem source url in the HillshadeActivity was set to some invalid URL.

I replaced it with https://demotiles.maplibre.org/terrain-tiles/tiles.json from the maplibre-gl-js 3d terrain example and the hillshade for Innsbruck's surrounding regions showed up and the logs I added appeared in logcat upon loading the activity.

Awesome! Happy hacking!
