    Description

      Qt Creator is unable to debug an Android app while Android Studio is running. The debugger will just get stuck connecting to the app with an output like this:

      W ActivityThread: Application com.example.app is waiting for the debugger on port 8100...
I System.out: Sending WAIT chunk
killall: lldb-server: No such process20:16:20: Debugging  -qmljsdebugger=port:55827,block,services:DebugMessages,QmlDebugger,V8Debugger,QmlInspector,DebugTranslation ...
CONNECT: success adb://emulator-5554:5039 platform: remote-android True

      It is very easy to run into this e.g. when using Android Studio to edit Java code of a Qt app, as exemplified by the many issues have been reported due to this issue (e.g. QTCREATORBUG-23472, QTCREATORBUG-23240, QTCREATORBUG-20343, and probably others). Our developers regularly run into this even though they know about this limitation.

      This should get fixed, or at the very minimum a running Android Studio app should be detected by Qt Creator and the user warned if they start to debug an Android app.
