Flutter and Android developers can mirror, interact with, and control their Android device via mouse and keyboard without leaving VS Code, eliminating context switching. The extension supports both USB and wireless Wi-Fi ADB connections, works alongside Flutter hot reload, and is compared to Android Studio's built-in device mirroring. Setup requires scrcpy and ADB installed on the host machine, and the article walks through installation, connection options, common troubleshooting, and workflow tips. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
