<p>Android Studio includes a debugging tool called the Dalvik Debug Monitor Server (DDMS), which
provides port-forwarding services, screen capture on the device, thread and heap information on
the device, logcat, process, and radio state information, incoming call and SMS spoofing,
location data spoofing, and more. This page provides a modest discussion of DDMS features; it is
not an exhaustive exploration of all the features and capabilities.</p>
