I'm having a problem with android debug mode

I set the breakpoint like it shows in the video. I run the app in debug mode. When the app pops up in the emulator the same thing happens as in the video. A dialog says waiting for debugger and then goes away . But in the debug console at the bottom under Frames it says "Frames are unavailable" and under Variables all I see is a little blue exclamation point followed by the text "Connected to the target VM, address: 'localhost:8607', transport: 'socket'"

I cannot 'step over' or execute any of the other debug actions. Has anyone encountered this or does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, L

I was seeing a similar error. The problem on my end was that I still had airplane mode turned on in my emulator. Turning it off and running the app in debug mode fixed it for me. Hopefully that helps.
