I am trying to utilize chrome for remote debugging of an android web application. I am unable to get any open tabs from the device to show under chrome://inspect list for remote debugging.

I have done the following:

  1. Made sure my device driver is installed appropriately.
  2. Turned on developer mode and usb debugging on my device via the developer menu.
  3. Checked and made sure that my device is listed in adb list via issuing "adb devices" from the command line.

My device is displayed under the device list via (chrome://inspect) just cant seem to get any open tabs listed any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 Android 4.2.2

Using chrome://inspect/#devices, if the device is detected, but tabs open in chrome on the device are not listed, look for the "activate USB debugging" option in the chrome settings-->developer options tab on the device. This is in addition to the USB debugging option you've already checked in the Android developer settings.
