README

        
**NOTE**: This library is not necessary anymore. Newer versions of

Android provide a new tool called Layout Inspector that should be

used instead.

ViewServer is a simple class you can use in your Android application

to use the HierarchyViewer inspection tool.

ViewServer requires the Android SDK r12 or higher.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Quick Start

-----

 * Verify that you need this library([newer versions of Android don't][setup])

 

If you do need this library then follow these directions:

 * Include the ViewServer library(easy directions found [here][jitpack])

 * Your application __must__ require the INTERNET permission

 * The recommended way to use this API is to register activities when they are created, and to unregister them when they get destroyed:

```java

public class MyActivity extends Activity {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Set content view, etc.

        ViewServer.get(this).addWindow(this);

    }

    public void onDestroy() {

        super.onDestroy();

        ViewServer.get(this).removeWindow(this);

    }

    public void onResume() {

        super.onResume();

        ViewServer.get(this).setFocusedWindow(this);

    }

}

 ```
