Android – Chrome remote debug Samsung Galaxy s4

androiddebugginggoogle-chrome

I tried to use the remote debugging tool of Google Chrome for my Samsung Galaxy S4 (https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging?hl=nl). But my Chrome does not found my device after i used about:inspect. The list stays empty.

I already install the newest driver on my computer and both devices running Chrome version 32. On my phone the USB debugging checkbox is checked.

Does someone know what i can do to view my phone trough Chrome debugging?

Do you have ADT (Android Development Toolkit) installed? If so, you may have to restart the ADB server. Follow these steps: (from this answer).

  1. Open a command prompt (Win+R, "cmd.exe", Enter)

  2. Go to the platform-tools directory of your locally installed ADT. In my case:

    cd /d D:\apps\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools

  3. Restart the ADT server by running the following commands:

    adb.exe kill-server
adb.exe start-server

  4. Now observe that your tablet will ask for remote debugging permission (by checking a fingerprint) upon connection.

  5. The device should now be found if you open chrome://inspect.
