Tip: To resume normal browsing, remember to revert the proxy settings on your Android device after you disconnect from the development machine.This example is introductory and easy to follow. For example, if your web server is using the custom domain vtools on port 7331, when you view the site from your Android device you should be using the URL vtools:7331.
If your web server is running off of a non-standard port, remember to specify the port when requesting the content from your Android device.
Now you can access custom domains on your Android device Android just as you would on the development machine. The proxy makes requests on behalf of your device, so requests to your customized local domain are properly resolved. With these settings, your device forwards all of its requests to the proxy on your development machine.
For the local address field, enter localhost: followed by the port that your proxy server is running on. Set up port forwarding to your Android device.Note: The proxy server and your web server must run on different ports. Run the proxy server and note the port that it's using.Examples of proxy servers are Charles, Squid, and Fiddler. To map a custom domain you must run a proxy server on your development machine. After setting up custom domain mapping and port forwarding, you'll be able to view the site on your Android device at the URL vtools. So, you create an entry in your hosts file on your development machine to map this domain to localhost (i.e. # Map to custom local domainsĬustom domain mapping enables you to view content on an Android device from a web server on your development machine that is using a custom domain.įor example, suppose that your site uses a third-party JavaScript library that only works on the allow-listed domain vtools. For example, if you entered 5000 in the field, then you would go to localhost:5000. To view the content, open up Chrome on your Android device and go to the localhost port that you specified in the Device port field. You can see a status indicator of the port forward at the top as well as besides the device name. For example, if your site is running on localhost:7331 you would enter localhost:7331. In the IP address and port textfield on the right, enter the IP address or hostname on which your site is running on your development machine's web server, followed by the port number.For example, if you wanted to access the site from localhost:5000 you would enter 5000. In the Port textfield on the left, enter the localhost port number from which you want to be able to access the site on your Android device.If you want to set up other ports, follow the steps 4 and 5. When you're finished, you should see your Android device in the list. Set up remote debugging between your development machine and your Android device.Traffic between the ports travel through the USB connection between your Android device and development machine, so the connection doesn't depend on your network configuration. Port forwarding works by creating a listening TCP port on your Android device that maps to a TCP port on your development machine. Port forwarding enables your Android device to access content that's being hosted on your development machine's web server. If your web server is using a custom domain, you can set up your Android device to access the content at that domain with custom domain mapping.Port forwarding enables you to view content from your development machine's web server on your Android device.With a USB cable and Chrome DevTools, you can run a site from a development machine and then view the site on an Android device. Host a site on a development machine web server, then access the content from an Android device.
