body: <p>This is what I am getting  after running <code>ndk-gdb</code> according to many tutorials when it links to you to <code>(gdb)</code> server you have to type <code>continue</code> but what after that how to debug the code there after. In my case it displays <code>Continuing</code> and remain like this. WHat i have to do further I am totally clueless.</p>

  <p>According to the <code>ndk-Docs</code> </p>
  
  <pre><code>You can set breakpoints with 'b &lt;location&gt;' and resume execution with 'c'
  (for 'continue'). See the GDB manual for a list of commands.
