How to set up an android webview for debugging

[John5269257]

Hi
I have issues that only appear when running as an app, and I'd like to enable my webview for debugging.

I'm reading this:
https://developer.chrome.com/devtools...

which tells me:
"you need to enable it programmatically from within your application by calling setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled, a static method on the WebView class."

Sample code is provided:

"if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT = Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);
}"

but I've now idea where or how to include it in my Appery project source.

I have remote debugging working for Chrome on Android, so the desktop side is done, I just need to enable the webview for debugging.

I'm still on the old Appery UI, running android 4.4.4 on a nexus 7

Appreciate any help
John

Would I be better off trying to get weinre debugging working or using the plugin to test android in chrome. I have an issue where the app seems to crash/timeout in android 5.0.2. It seems like there's some new functionality in it too that's appearing in my app like a transparent circle with three dots in it.

Hi Miguel,

Weinre debugger should work on android and ios.

And you don't need to install any plugin for this functionality.

Please learn more about how to use WEINRE in Appery.io app here:
