About Stetho
Stetho is a sophisticated debug bridge for Android applications. When enabled, developers have access to the Chrome Developer Tools feature natively part of the Chrome desktop browser. Developers can also choose to enable the optional dumpapp tool which offers a powerful command-line interface to application internals. Alternatively, you can include Stetho from Maven Central via Gradle or Maven. Only the main Stetho dependency is strictly required, however you may also wish to use one of the network helpers. The integration with the Chrome DevTools frontend is implemented using a client/server protocol which the Stetho software provides for your application. Network inspection is possible with the full spectrum of Chrome Developer Tools features, including image preview, JSON response helpers, and even exporting traces to the HAR format. SQLite databases can be visualized and interactively explored with full read/write capabilities.
