title: debugging an ionic app for android platform
body: <p>I have been working with ionic and my application works fine using ionic serve.</p>
  
  <p>However, as soon as I launch the apk in android, it gives white death screen and stays there.</p>
  
  <p>What are the ways in which I can debug my ionic app for android platform?</p>
  
  <p>I once researched a bit about debugging and got to know about chrome remote debugging. </p>
  
  <p>The phone shows up in connected device and the documentation <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging" rel="nofollow">https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging</a> suggests to add the mentioned line of code in webview class. How do I do that?
  What is the equivalent of web view class in ionic? </p>
  
  <p>I hear people adding it to html views they want to debug but does that suggest that I need to add it to every html page in case I need to debug all my app? It does not sound such a great solution in that case. </p>
  
  <p>Can I please get some help on this?</p>
  
  <p>Also, if there are other simpler ways to debug ionic app, I would really appreciate if mentioned.</p>
  
  <p>Besides, I do not own android with 4.4 + ver. so would be glad to know about alternatives that support android 4.1 .</p>
