Each mobile developer will perform debugging to check the results of the program made into their mobile device, and usually the results of the program will be tested first using an emulator. For example, android programmers will use android studio in the process of making the program because it is easier to connect with the emulator. However, the emulator requires a lot of resources so it requires a computer with high specifications.
So what if the computer you have is inadequate? The solution is to perform debugging on a real device, but this method is considered inconvenient for Android programmers because they have to hold the smartphone too often to check the results of the program created. How can Android programmers debug using a smartphone but feel like they're using an emulator?
Currently, android programmers don't need to worry anymore because Genymobile has developed a screen share application called Scrcpy. Scrcpy is a free, open source screen share application that allows you to display and control smartphone devices to your computer via USB or TCP/IP. This application does not require root access and can run on Linux, Windows, or macOS. However, this application requires a minimum of Android version 5.0 and adb as a communication backend between smartphones and computers.
