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:

1. 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 
2. Then i checked whether the path is set by using the cmd                                                                adb version 

        and it returned
        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
