Remote JavaScript Debugging on Android http://www.sencha.com/blog/remote-javascript-debugging-on-android Developers often run into debugging hurdles when testing web pages for Android mobile devices. And, while the Android Developers Guide provides a solution, it’s a bit cumbersome and complex. In this article, our WebKit team provides a better solution called RemoteJS. en-us helder@sencha.com Copyright 2010 2010-11-05T17:26:34+00:00 Comment by moncherion This tool seems very powerful This tool seems very powerful

That should work, but can’t guarantee that it will do due to the way this tool works. That’s, among a couple other factors, is because of the size limitation of the string you can input as an address to a browser. A better approach would be compiling your code down to a file that isolates all logical blocks in one short enough single line (i.e. an entire ‘if’ block goes into one single line, same for ‘while’ and ‘for’ loops, etc). Finally, you could just open a web page that contains your code, and then you could inspect it. Could that work for your use case? @Tnainani: you can try “compiling” your long JS code into a single line file. That should work, but can’t guarantee that it will do due to the way this tool works.

I was wondering if you can pass JavaScript file to the remotejs and get output back? for example $remotejs < test.js or $./remotejs.py < test.js Grt stuff guys!
