USB Android control

Inspect and operate a physically connected Android phone from HydroBot.

HydroBot can connect to a USB Android device and show it in the Computer panel. You can inspect the screen, open apps, tap, type, swipe, scroll, and capture screenshots directly.

Requirements

  • A physical Android device connected over USB
  • USB debugging enabled on the device
  • The computer trusted from the device's debugging prompt
  • The packaged Android platform tools or a compatible local ADB installation

Phone access is a separate capability from desktop computer use. Keep the device unlocked and visible while testing, and review actions that may send messages, change accounts, or expose private content.
