TLDR; its pretty easy to use the same chrome dev tools from you desktop to debug android chrome
I used firefox for longer than I should have purely because firebug was so good. Now that I’ve swithched over to Chrome, I will ‘prolly stay here in the cozy familiar dev tools I’m used to than switch to something new. They make it too easy for me.
Tonight, I was trying to see how well Bootstrap and Backbone.js played together for a mobile web app. It was the first time I had to debug Chrome on Android and saw it had a usb debugging option in the settings. Low and behold, if you already have the android SDK installed, you are just a few short steps away from using your desktop Chrome dev tools to debug your android chrome web pages!
- Enabled USB debugging in Android Chrome settings
- Issue cmd on SDK enabled machine:
adb forward tcp:9222 localabstract:chrome_devtools_remote - Open desktop Chrome and navigate to localhost:9222
