Android ADB debugging over wifi

Android debug bridge allow a PC to connect to your emulator and/or your device. If you want to debug your application in a wire-free environment. Then here are the few steps that will help you out. However, I feel it was little slow as compared to USB connection.

// Set Mode to USB
$ adb usb
restarting in USB mode


// Query for currently connected devices
$ adb devices
// Prints a list of all attached emulator/device instances.
List of devices attached 
4200f20ed63d728d	device

// Connect ADB via TCP
$ adb tcpip 5556
restarting in TCP mode port: 5556

// Connect to device shell for getting network configuration details
$ adb shell netcfg

// Connect the device using IP 
$ adb connect 192.168.0.4:5556
already connected to 192.168.0.4:5556

// Checking for devices
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
4200f20ed63d728d  device
192.168.0.4:5556  device

// Set Mode to USB

$ adb usb

restarting in USB mode

// Query for currently connected devices

$ adb devices

// Prints a list of all attached emulator/device instances.

Note: We can now remove the USB and continue debugging while remaining wire free connected.

Happy Connecting !
