Android Debugging#

Logcat#

WebView console output is forwarded to Android logcat via WebChromeClient.onConsoleMessage.

# Filter by tag
adb logcat -s inb4doc-js

# Broader filter (catches all inb4doc output)
adb logcat | grep -i inb4doc

# Show only errors
adb logcat *:E | grep inb4doc

The JS bridge (NativeBridge.log) also pipes console output to logcat under the inb4doc tag.

Connecting via adb#

  1. Enable Developer options on the device (tap Build Number 7 times)
  2. Enable USB debugging
  3. Connect via USB and accept the authorization dialog
  4. Verify with adb devices

If adb devices shows “waiting for device”:

  • Switch USB mode from “Charge only” to “File Transfer”

  • Try a different USB cable (some are charge-only)

  • Run adb kill-server && adb start-server
