Playing with Chrome's Remote debugging with Android phone

Remote debugging (Chrome Inspector)

For developers, remote debugging is one of the greatest additions. It allows us to use a full Remote Inspector –the same as in Chrome for Desktop- remotely using USB debugging. 

On your Android Phone:

1.- Go to Settings > "Develop option" > check on "USB debugging"

2.- Need to work with  Android Debug Bridge (adb), included in Platform Tools of the Android SDK

Go to SDK: (more info at https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/debugging?hl=es)

wmunguiam@server:~$ cd /var/www/android-sdk-linux/
wmunguiam@server:/var/www/android-sdk-linux$ cd platform-tools/

List devices: (When plugged in over USB, can verify that your device is connected by executing adb devices from your SDK platform-tools/ directory. If connected, you'll see the device name listed as a "device.")

root@server:/var/www/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools# ./adb devices

List of devices attached 

???????????? no permissions

For device detection:  (More info at http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html)

root@server:/var/www/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools# cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
root@server:/etc/udev/rules.d# ls

70-persistent-cd.rules  70-persistent-net.rules  README

root@server:/etc/udev/rules.d# vim 51-android.rules

Add content: "SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev" " , then apply permisions:

root@server:/etc/udev/rules.d# chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules 

Review attached devices: (Yes again)

root@server:/var/www/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools# ./adb devices

List of devices attached
