Why does Chrome DevTools debugger screen appear green when debugging chromecast? - google-cast

When I use the Chrome DevTools debugger to debug a chromecast custom receiver the screen is green.
I have disabled hardware acceleration in Chrome. This happens on both Windows and Mac. It happens from all PCs in my home.
No error messages are provided. Here is what it looks like.

Sir i think there might be something wrong with the chromecast,
i had the similiar issue here.
i want to debug webview app using emulator and it just shows green screen but i still tap on the screen. then i using real device to test my app and it works. it shows the page how it should be.

How to debug problems with the Divio app?

I am trying to set up the Divio app on Win10 Pro.
I can launch the application, log in, select the workspace folder for my project, so the required dependencies should be fine.
However when I click on "Set up my project", then a new window is opened with a text "Preparing logs...", and an animated "hour-glass" appears next to the "Open Shell" button in the lower-left corner, but that's it. Everything hangs up at this point, and I can't figure out what's wrong. Restarted the computer and the app several times, but with same results.
Any ideas how to work out what is going wrong?
The Divio app is an Electron application, and uses Chromium for the interface.
You can invoke its Inspector as you would in Chrome itself, using command-option-i on Macintosh and control-shift-i on Linux and Windows.
The Inspector's Console tab will show any errors, and this will help understand what is happening internally. Typically, they will be errors related to the operating system in some way.

Gear watchface styling outside of Tizen IDE easily possible?

I wanted to develop my own watchface for my Gear S2. I found some good documentation on downloading and using the Tizen IDE. All is well, but I'm finding the tweak css/html5-run/upload-switch faces-view-wash-rinse-repeat to be very tedious and time-consuming.
I know I can point my browser (Chrome) to my development workspace and load the index.html up and I surmise that I could tweak what I have, which came from the template to work in the browser if I made the sizes in the css static vs dynamic (absolute vs percentages). But is there a better way? Scouring the Internets Googles have yielded nothing too helpful yet.
moderators: this might be OT for this particular SO. If that's the case, I apologize. A nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, if so.
So, I was able to make a little progress on this myself. I am using Chrome in developer mode, which almost works perfectly when using the developer device emulator. To toggle the device emulator, open developer mode (windows: ctrl+shift+I, OS X: cmd+option+i) and when the tool window opens up, look for the little device button next to the element button in the upper left corner of the developer tools window. When the device emulator open, switch the resolution to 320x320 (top of the window next to "screen").
Now, open your index.html file for your project in Chrome, and you can at least muck around with your css styling.
Now to get around the whole issue of reloading your clock with the default clock in the Java emulator for Tizen, I was able to get my changes to automatically assert when running the new code. The way I did it, though I'm not sure if all of these steps were necessary was:
In the emulated watch:
1. set the screen timeout to 15 mins.
2. set the watch face to your development watch face
In the IDE:
1. when ready, use the button for smart launch (it's the blue button just to the left of the bug button in the tizen web IDE). This is in the Tizen SDK version 2.3.1 build 20150721-1440.
At the time of running your code -- making sure both your emulated watch is running too:
1. In the IDE, click the smart launch button
2. Click over to your emulated watch and make sure it's in focus.
It should update the watch face with your latest changes in realtime. This worked for me, so YMMV, but at least I didn't have to reload the watch face after asserting the latest version.

Can one debug HLSL on Windows Phone 8?

The more I look around, the more it looks like this feature just isn't supported.
When I try to run the graphics diagnostics tools, it just launches the app and debugs normally. I see nothing new that is related to graphics anywhere on the screen (every button on the graphics toolbar is grayed out).
I'm surprised I wasn't able to get an answer from my search engine, but I would love guidance so I could try some other form of debugging instead.
Thanks for reading

Opening app from different android Browser

Till now I have been using the default browser with my Samsung Galaxy S2. When Browsing if I found and clicked on a link that was from Wikipedia or IMDB for instance it would ask and give the choice if I wanted to open them in the "Internet" Browser or the installed IMDB/Wikipedia App. I have since tried other Browser Apps. (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera etc) and none of these appear to pop up with the option to open them in an app. They go straight to the website. The only app I have found that does offer the choice is Chrome, but it seems to crash a bit too often. Am just wondering if I am missing something in the the other browsers I have looked at. I like Dolphin and Firefox, but would like to see them offer the option to open sites in installed apps. Is there options to get them to do this? Thanks!
It is because those browsers (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera) you have tested at the end of 2012 don't support or have problems with calling external intents.
Here is the issue about implementation that feature on Firefox.

How to debug JavaScript code with mobile browsers

I know about firebug and the developer tools for the major modern desktop browsers, but I can't find any way of debugging JavaScript code on mobile browsers.
What are some high level techniques I can use to debug code on mobile browsers?
Android devices can be put into developer mode by going through settings>Phone status then tapping on "Build number" 7 times. This allows you to do a bunch of things (see step 5) including USB debugging. (Some devices might have Build number under Software Info)
To activate USB debugging, look in Settings for the newly appeared "{ } Developer Options", open this and switch on USB debugging. Connect your device using a direct USB connection.
In Chrome on your desktop, in the usual developer tools panel used for debugging, look in the menu for more tools>remote devices. With Discover USB devices selected, you should now see your mobile device on the side.
Select it to see a list of all the chrome tabs you have open and the ability to enter URLs directly.
Selecting one of the links will open up a new window with a mirror of your device screen on the left and all the familiar chrome debug tools on the right. You can still control your device directly or use the mouse on the mirrored screen. It even rotates.
full details on remote debugging from google and how to enable developer mode (link as above) from askvg.com
Android provides a tool set for these purposes:
https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/remote-debugging/?utm_source=dcc&utm_medium=redirect&utm_campaign=2016q3
Apple does it a similar way:
https://developer.apple.com/safari/tools/
Tutorial: https://css-tricks.com/using-chrome-devtools-to-debug-javascript-in-any-browser-with-ghostlab-2/
You can debug on Safari Mobile with any iPhone/iPad. In Developer menu you can find your device and you can then debug your code with inspector.
If you have an Android Device instead, you can debug on Chrome Desktop (remember to active the debug mode) with chrome://inspect
On the IPhone you can go into settings>Safari>advanced and turn web inspector on
Sometimes I get bugs reported by customers that are not reproducible every time or in our testing. For such cases I recommend Lucky Orange. It records the user activity and also has the option to record console messages.
PS - I'm not an affiliate, I use them for my own projects and like it.
Another solution for basic debugging (which many times is all is needed), is having a console polyfill on mobile without the need to plug into USB on desktop.
mobileConsole is such a console polyfill.
Hope it helps someone, I found it useful.
