To access the emulator using sockets, start the emulator and include the following command line argument:

-Xrunjdwp: transport=dt_socket, address= [the local port], server=y, suspend=y

Replacing [the local port] with an available port number. Then, give the same port
number to your debugger in order to connect to the emulator.

To access the emulator using shared memory, start the emulator and, instead of specifying a port, specify the name of the shared memory page using the following command line argument:

-Xrunjdwp: transport=dt_shmem, address= [the shared memory page], server=y, suspend=y

Replacing [the shared memory page] with a unique memory page name. Then give the same name to your debugger in order to access the shared memory.
