Summary

- To display the list of the Android WebViews with debugging turned on, navigate to
edge://inspect. - Debug Android WebViews in the same way you debug a webpage through remote debugging.
Configure Android WebViews to debug
Android WebView debugging must be turned on within your app. To turn on Android WebView debugging, run the setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled static method on the WebView class.
The setting applies to all of the Android WebViews of the app.
Tip
Android WebView debugging is not affected by the state of the debuggable flag in the manifest of the app. If you want to turn on Android WebView debugging only when the debuggable flag is true, test the flag at runtime.
Open an Android WebView in DevTools
To display a list of the Android WebViews with debugging turned on that run on your device, navigate to edge://inspect.
To start debugging, under the Android WebView you want to debug, choose inspect. Use DevTools in the same way that you do a remote browser tab.
