Companies and developers interested in a debug bridge solution for Android applications
About Stetho
Stetho is a sophisticated debug bridge for Android applications. When enabled, developers have access to the Chrome Developer Tools feature natively part of the Chrome desktop browser. Developers can also choose to enable the optional dumpapp tool which offers a powerful command-line interface to application internals. Alternatively, you can include Stetho from Maven Central via Gradle or Maven. Only the main Stetho dependency is strictly required, however you may also wish to use one of the network helpers. The integration with the Chrome DevTools frontend is implemented using a client/server protocol which the Stetho software provides for your application. Network inspection is possible with the full spectrum of Chrome Developer Tools features, including image preview, JSON response helpers, and even exporting traces to the HAR format. SQLite databases can be visualized and interactively explored with full read/write capabilities.

When it comes to browsers, Chrome rocks of course. Boasting by far the largest market share of web browsers across various OSs and hardware platforms, Google proves yet again that they “get it.” Among the reasons for Chrome’s popularity both with everyday users and developers are its ambitiously fast release cycle (roughly every six weeks) and constantly evolving feature set. However, for web developers and digital marketers, Chrome really shines with Chrome Developer Mode, the build-in web authoring and debugging tools accessed by hitting the F12 key. We’ve already talked about the convenience and benefits of Chrome Developer Tools (and their shortcomings) in this blog posting. Like a lot of great developer resources, when used in conjunction with other services, in this case Mobilizer’s online mobile testing lab, Chrome DevTools can really up your game and greatly improve productivity.

Or press Command+Option+C (Mac) or Control+Shift+C (Windows, Linux, Chrome OS). When you want to see logged messages or run JavaScript, press Command+Option+J (Mac) or Control+Shift+J (Windows, Linux, Chrome OS) to jump straight into the Console panel.
