This is what I get after running ndk-gdb in accordance with many tutorials, when it refers to you on a (gdb) server, which you should type continue , but after that how to debug the code there after. In my case, it displays Continuing and stays that way. What should I do next, I do not know at all.

How to debug?
According to ndk-Docs
You can set breakpoints with 'b <location>' and resume execution with 'c' (for 'continue'). See the GDB manual for a list of commands.
How to do it.
