[kwlug-disc] Testing Android app on real phone

[William Park]

Yes, ScrCpy was what I was looking for.  Thanks.  I can do remote 
control.  I get image of phone screen, things I do are reflected on cell 
phone and vice versa.  I don't think ScrCpy itself can do scripting.  
I'll look into ADB for that.

You *forgot* to mention the following:
     - enable "developer mode"
     - disable "Auto Blocker"
     - enable "USB debug mode"
Only then, ADB sees the device!  Grrgh...
