Connecting android studio to adb using network in OS X
I am using android studio for the past 2 year. The Major thing which worried me while testing the application is connecting the android device to the laptop through usb cable.
Then one day i came to know through my friend that we can run our app from android studio on the device through network like wifi connectivity, etc.
I did the following things to connect the adb through network in OSX operating system:
- First i added the path variable for adb using the following commands: Echo your export command and redirect the output to be appended to .bash_profile file and restart terminal. (have not verified this but should work) echo "export PATH=$PATH:/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/ sdk/platform-tools/" >> ~/.bash_profile
- Then i checked whether the path is set by using the cmd adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36
Revision 19394af606f6-android
3.Then i used the following command
adb tcpip 5555
5555 is the port no at which the adb will connect
it returned
restarting in TCP mode port : 5555
4.Then i noted the ip of my android device which is connected in the same network in which my mac is connected.
5.then i used the following cmd to connect the device
adb connect 192.168.#.#
where 192.168.#.# is the ip of my android device
then it returned
connected to 192.168.#.#
6.And finnaly you can find your android device in your connected devices list in android studio
