Hi everyone! 👋
I want to highlight Flocon, an amazing open-source inspection tool designed specifically for the modern mobile stack. It acts as a desktop companion app that connects to your mobile application, and it is built with Kotlin Multiplatform in mind (supporting Android and KMP targets). It’s like having the Chrome DevTools, but for native mobile development.
Flocon is @florent's initiative, and I'm also thrilled to be contributing to it.
Here is what it can do:
• 🌐 Network Inspector: Visualize all HTTP requests with search and filtering. Supports OkHttp, but also Ktor and GraphQL (perfect for KMP).
• 🎭 Powerful Mocking: Intercept specific requests and mock responses to test edge cases or server errors instantly.
• 💾 Database Management: Inspect and query your local databases (Room, SQLDelight, SQLite) and directly modify data rows.
• ⚙️ Preferences Editor: View and edit SharedPreferences and DataStore values on the fly to test different user states.
• 📦 Analytical Events: Displays a real-time stream of analytical events emitted by the application, including event name, parameters, and metadata.
• 🚀 KMP Ready: The library is designed to work seamlessly within Kotlin Multiplatform architectures.
It’s a massive time-saver for debugging complex data flows.

Let me know if you try it out!

It looks really interesting. I think I'll give it a shot. 🙂

Looks nice! It doesn't detect any device for me on Windows, unfortunately. Clicking "Test" below adb in settings shows "Failed" (I have adb on my path). Setting the full command there doesn't fix it.

Also, on Windows, it doesn't show up in the start menu. I opened a small PR for that. https://github.com/openflocon/Flocon/pull/497
