I am writing an hybrid mobile app with ionic.
I can test my application in browser with this command:
ionic serve
But I see my app in full browser width and height.
I saw on some tutorial a screen inside the browser that shows a mobile screen, where I can change screen size, orientation and other options.
I do not manage to open this kind of layout in my browser.
You can use the Device Mode of the Chrome Dev Tools:
https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/device-mode/
Or.. the Safari Web Inspector

Or, you can use
ionic serve --lab

I want to create a hybrid mobile app using ionic capacitor. When user logs in the app should open the main angular app in a hidden webview to initialize the angular app. The webview should be hidden for this time. After this when a user clicks on any links in mobile app, it should open in the webview and this time the webview should be displayed. The webview should open in the app container and not in the browser window (like InApp browser). Please help me if anybody have explored this kind of solutions.
My existing app is built using Xamarin and its built on the above concept.
I have tried the InApp browser but it does not give a good impression to the end user expecting a complete mobile app.
What you want to do is more or less possible if I've understood you well. I've done it in my job. We have a ionic app, but then there are some native screens developed natively for Android (with Java) and iOS (with Swift). With ionic you can call native code from Javascript. For that you need to make your own local Capacitor plugin: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/plugins/creating-plugins
In a plugin, the ionic Javascript function will trigger a native function (Java/Kotlin for Android - Swift/ObjectiveC for iOS). Once there, you can freely create native screens (Android = Activity, iOS = Storyboard/Controller) and then launch your native screens in the app. In our project most of the app is ionic, but we developed our own native screens such as a PDF Viewer, a Web browser, a QR scanner, etc.
But an app is not like a website, an app is a stack of screens. Which means that everytime you access a new screen, it's added to the top of the stack and the user can go back to the previous one. So, ionic will launch first. Inmediately after starting the app (or whenever you want) you can move the user to a native (android/ios) screen. However, if the user presses the native android back button, he will come back to ionic. If you want to prevent that, you need to code that behavior yourself (google android prevent back button). Likewise, you "can't" make the user go from the native screen to ionic, you can bring him back to ionic by navigating back programmatically.
Perhaps you can also change the launch activity to use a different one, and then later launch the ionic activity with native code. But I haven't done this myself and it could break ionic, so I can't advice you through this path.
I hope my answer helps, but I'm not sure I understood what you want to accomplish.
I am making a website with flutter
codingfries.com
Can someone check what the hell is happening when I click on Desktop View on chrome browser in mobile phone. The website starts to behave weirdly.
This is supposed to happen as the layout changes. Width of screen changes when you emulate Desktop view on mobile phone. For handling such cases, flutter has media queries which can be used to change layouts based on screen size changes.
For more info refer the official documentation.

I am trying to make a website using flutter and want to test it on a mobile browser. Is there any way to run the project on a mobile browser?
I think you should use your browser Inspector and then use toggle device toolbar to set browser size to your intended mobile size.
Or you can get web output of your website and put it on some server (like Github-pages) and then see your website in a real mobile browser.
But I suggest the first way more.
I have an Ionic app which I currently serve as a web app by doing ionic serve
I have few questions about it:
By default in the served web app, it takes the iOS layout, can it be changed to the android layout instead? How?
In the android version of y ionic app when I do ionic serve --lab, some of the bottom part of the content is somehow cut off (I can not scroll till the end), however it looks perfect in iOS version. Why does this happen and how can I fix it?
When I try to make an APK out of it as mentioned in the following link http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/publishing.html , I get a blank app on my android device. What could be the reason?
ionic serve --platform android
Are you taking in account that iOS scroll "stretches"? I mean, even when the scroll is all way down, you still can pull the content up. Maybe your content is indeed hidden (specially if you are using a footer bar. Actually, if you are using a footer bar, try to add a margin-bottom for your content equal your footer bar height.).
Have you checked if this happens when you run ionic run android? If this command works, try to run cordova prepare android before following the publishing procedure. If the command does not work, open chrome://inspect on your computer's chrome browser (with the device connected to your computer and running your app) and debug it to check if your code is being packed with the apk and/or the app is yielding some error messages.
I have an Android app with a WebView which shows a simple web page. If I run the app in Android Studio's AVD (virtual device), I can inspect the WebView in Chrome Inspector. However, if I run the app on my device, I can't see the WebView. I can see Facebook (com.facebook.katana) and I can see all my Chrome tabs, but the WebView is missing.
In the past, I have been able to see the WebView on my device as well but this stopped working a few weeks ago. (Developer tools are active and USB debugging is active)
Can anyone help me figure out why the WebView is not inspectable in Chrome Inspector?
Make sure you are calling WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true); in your application (see https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging#configure-webview for full info). AVD runs a "debug" Android image, where debugging of WebViews is enabled by default. On regular (so called "user") images you need to have it enabled by your app.
Another point to consider is that you need to create at least one WebView instance in order to see your app listed in chrome://inspect.
For me...the DeVTools window is blank...ive tried this for both our app and viewing Chrome through the devive
