IDE under Ubuntu to work with chromium under android?

Hello.
I am a C++ programmer, but in linux and android is a teapot. I have a task to modify a webview component from a chromium project in order to change the rendering of some components. This modified webview will then be part of our product delivery.
Basically I need to do something like a web view shell from chromium.
At the moment, I downloaded from git and built a web view shell from chromium for android. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. Build from the command line with ninja.
Now the problem:
If I worked under Windows, and the project would be under Visual Studio, everything would be simple. I built it, set the breakpoints where necessary, debugged, found sections of the code that are responsible for the rendering that I need to change.
And how do they manipulate and debug C++ code (and Chromium in particular) under Ubuntu? In Visual Studio, using the solution explorer, you can immediately see what projects there are, what files they belong to, you can search for a project, start debugging. Can I somehow work with chromium in ubuntu, debugging apk for android? To at least graphically see the structure of the project, the relationship between files, who belongs to which one, and that's all like in normal IDEs.
For me now, under Ubuntu, the project looks like an 8-gigabyte dump of C ++ files and I can’t imagine how to do something with them with a notepad like sublime3.
