I have a samsung note pro 12.2 and was wondering how I could inspect element on the browser without connecting to a computer? I understand for smaller devices this makes sense to connect to a computer but for a tablet this size or even a 10 inch, the real estate of the screen would allow me to have an efficient workflow. If this is possible, I would be able to design on the go making it so much easier than carrying around my laptop. Perhaps there is a special browser to use?

    Dago is cool, thanks. Unfortunately it cannot inspect well all new html5 quircks I use, but at least I could see source and console, which I have been missing on mobile device for long. – mico Oct 01 '16 at 18:17
  • Though, I am not sure if the inspect screen on Dago really is console, at least it does not work like one, still mystery what it does on that screen. – mico Oct 02 '16 at 18:19

I have done it before. But it was an rooted device wi custom ROM.

If you use a custom ROM as well you only need to enable ADB over WiFi and everything will work perfectly from there as when it's connected via cable. The vast majority of custom ROMs have this option, and even the ones that don't have the solution isn't that hat. Take a look in this answer.

Update:

There's also another answer to that very question that explains how to connect via adb via tcp without a rooted phone. here.

  • How that solves the need for inspect element type of debug of a web site with android device so that the inspect element action is done from browser/program running on an android device. That is what is meant here. – mico Sep 28 '16 at 11:11
  • I want to inspect web page with android tablet, no use of laptop nor desktop in any phase. Pure observation of my site from android device. – mico Sep 28 '16 at 11:12
  • Sorry but i think it is not possible to inspect directly within the mobile device. – emiliopedrollo Sep 28 '16 at 15:58
  • That is what seems to be the answer, but I added the bounty to find out if someone knows sth we don't come up yet. – mico Sep 28 '16 at 17:04
