How To Open Source Code Of A Website In Android
Whether you’ve just started into web development or learning and exploring how things work behind the scenes, it helps a lot to view the HTML source code behind a certain website. Well, you can easily do that right from your Android or iOS device.
Most of the times, when we visit a nice looking website, we always want to look at it’s HTML source code. On desktop browsers, we simple just right-click and click on “view page source” from the context menu but there’s no option like this on mobile devices. So then, how do we view the source code on a mobile device?
Steps to view source code
- Visit the website which you want to view it’s source code.
- Click inside the address bar and append
view-source:
before the url of the website. - Click the send button and the page will load with the source code of the file.
Conclusion
Even though I used Chrome’s mobile browser, the method is the same in all the major browsers.
