Quick Start (3-Minute Tutorial)

Step 1: Enable USB Debugging on Your Device

VetroLog communicates directly with Android devices via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB).

For Physical Android Phones:

  1. Open Settings on your phone.
  2. Tap About Phone and locate the Build Number.
  3. Tap Build Number 7 times until you see the message: “You are now a developer!”.
  4. Return to Settings > System > Developer Options.
  5. Enable the USB Debugging toggle.
  6. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.
  7. Accept the “Allow USB debugging from this computer?” dialog on your phone screen.

Verify your device is recognized by running:

Terminal window
adb devices

You should see your device ID with the device status:

Step 2: Launch Your App in Debug Mode

VetroLog accesses database files through Android’s secure run-as utility, which is enabled for apps compiled with android:debuggable="true":

    Terminal window
    flutter run
  • React Native:
    Terminal window
    npx react-native run-android
  • Native Android (Kotlin / Java): Click the Run (▶) button in Android Studio.

Step 3: Connect & Inspect in VetroLog

  1. Launch VetroLog.
  2. Notice the top header bar:
    • Device Selector: Automatically selects your connected device (e.g. 📱 motorola_edge_50).
    • App Package Selector: Automatically highlights debuggable apps on your phone (e.g. 📦 aunkur (Active)).
