[jira] [Commented] (CB-5487) Add preference to enable Remote Debugging for Android 4.4+ (KitKat) Chrome based WebView

["Andrew Grieve (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5487?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13834510#comment-13834510 ] 

Andrew Grieve commented on CB-5487:
-----------------------------------

Instead of a <preference>, how about just linking it with the "debuggable" AndroidManifest parameter. This is shown in the example code from the linked page.

{code}
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
    if ( 0 != ( getApplcationInfo().flags &= ApplicationInfo.FLAG_DEBUGGABLE ) ) {
        WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);
    }
}
{code}

> You have to explicitly enable remote debugging for kitkat chrome-based webview:
> https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging#debugging-webviews
> As far as I am aware there are no performance implication to leaving this flag on at all time (i.e. when releasing your app) -- however, the feature was implemented as an opt-in so that users cannot inspect your webview based application without your (the developer) explicit consent.  I think cordova should respect that decision and leave the preference off by default.
