I would like to note that IDA Pro has a very nice debug server which is a nice alternative to GDB for Android. Also I believe they recently added the ability to debug dalvik bytecode as well. Gikdbg is a free alternative, which I believe is a UI wrapper around GDB. What's interesting about it is that it works for iOS and Android: http://gikir.com/product.php http://gikir.com/product.php It's a beta product, so it might take some work to get going, but once you do it makes you much more productive... especially if you feel at home with Ollydbg :)

Last time my coworker tried to use an older IDA's debug server on Android, it wouldn't work. The device was API >= 14 so it required PIE executables and the IDA debug server was not. Unfortunate. Luckily IDA 6.8 has a PIE and non-PIE versions. I also believe that the debug server source is now included in the SDK, so you could have supposedly rebuilt it in PIE mode yourself.
