How to set breakpoints in class files without the source in Android Studio?

Question

The class file is contained in a jar archive (which I don't have the source) and I can view that file like an ordinary Java file in Android Studio by the built-in de-compiler feature. I set breakpoints in that class file and started debugging but it didn't stop at the lines marked by breakpoints. Is there any way to do that?
