Options

Launching ADB GUI from File Explorer

Launching ADB GUI from File Explorer does not provide a debugger. This is the most common way to run any program.

Launching ADB GUI using the cmd

Launching ADB GUI from cmd provides a debugger for the code execution. It also helps me fix problems by submitting a bug report to GitHub.
