Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Copy-paste motivation from the snowplow inspector for web https://docs.snowplow.io/docs/testing-debugging/snowplow-inspector/overview/#the-role-of-snowplow-inspector-in-event-qa

The Snowplow Inspector extension is an invaluable tool for anyone who is pushing tracking live as it gives real time - easy to access - information on which events are being emitted and what the contents of these events are. This makes the tool a good first port of call when trying to answer questions such as “why is X event not appearing in my data warehouse” by showing whether or not the event is actually firing on a chosen webpage.

Describe the solution you'd like

Practically, adopting the same approach and look what Chucker team has developed for API but adopted for Snowplow events domain https://github.com/ChuckerTeam/chucker. Similar to Chucker providing an activity accessible from notification in debug builds which allows inspection of decoded snowplow events, its schemas and values.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It is possible to enable Logging.VERBOSE and inspect adb logcat. But it's very noisy and unstructured. Not accessible without developer tools connected to the phone making it less efficient to work for non-android developers (product owners, data and analytics experts at the company).

Hi @plastiv - thanks for this comment. Is the tunneling option as part of the Chrome inspector an option for you?
