Stetho
Stetho is a debug bridge that connects Android applications to Chrome Developer Tools. It allows for the real-time inspection of network traffic, internal application state, and the user interface layout directly within a desktop browser.
The project provides specialized inspectors for analyzing Android-specific components. This includes a network inspector for capturing HTTP requests and responses, an SQLite database browser for querying local storage, and a view hierarchy inspector for mapping UI elements and styles.
Additional capabilities cover runtime execution via an embedded JavaScript interpreter for manipulating application state and a command-line interface for exporting internal data. It also supports real-time screen casting and the extraction of system memory dumps for stability analysis.
