Android debug with chrome

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi!

I’m trying to debug an application that I developed for Android. But I’m not able to inspect with Chrome. Whenever I connect the smartphone to the pc, I do not see the application that I had developed to start debugging.

What steps do I have to take to get it done? Thank you!

Hi @tiago.rodrigues5 and welcome to the Corona Labs community forums.

These forums are for users of Corona SDK which is a software framework that lets you build Android app (as well as many other platforms). Our apps are built with the Corona SDK set of API’s using the language Lua.

This isn’t a good play to ask how to debug generic Android apps in particular with Chrome. Debugging using our software is a different experience.

We would encourage you to check our Corona SDK and see how it can give you a great app making experience.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I’m using Corona Labs :) 

I made export (build) to Android and now I would like to inspect the app, installed on my smartphone, through Chrome or another platform. What do you suggest and how do I do it?

Thanks

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I’m using Corona Labs. I did build for Android and now I would like to inspect the app, installed on my phone, through Chrome or another platform. What do you suggest?

Corona SDK produces native apps, not a webView based app like Codova/PhoneGap does. I don’t know of a way to inspect your app using Chrome. Most people wanting to debug their app will installed the Android Debug Bridge tools (adb) and with your device tethered, be able to look at the device’s console log using:  adb logcat. The ADB tools also includes a tool called “monitor” which is a visual interface to the ADB tools.
