Compose desktop application for viewing layouts and measure distance between views.

• Launches standalone application that connects to device via adb
• Supports multiple devices being connected at the same time
• Shows width and height as well as class and resource if single view is selected
• Shows distance if two views are selected

Adb installed

See releases

To run program locally requires java 11

./gradlew run

Adb configuration might be wonky, either it can't be found or it's a different version from what you normally use.

The application will prompt you to define what adb to run. Enter it into the text field. Run which adb to find it. This is then saved as ~/.ComposeAndroidLayoutInspector.

For some reason on a device such as Pixel3XL the selection box does not span the whole view. it seems this is an issue with uiautomator dump command not getting correct layout. If you are using an emulator try to use a different version.
