Debugging your Android applications over Wi-Fi can be a convenient alternative to using a USB connection. This guide will walk you through the steps to configure ADB for Wi-Fi debugging in Eclipse, ensuring a seamless development experience.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Connect Your Device to ADB Over Wi-Fi
To connect your Android device to ADB over Wi-Fi, follow these steps:
- Open a terminal or command prompt.
- Run the following command, replacing
<phone-ip-address>with your device’s IP address:adb connect <phone-ip-address>If no port number is specified, ADB uses port 5555 by default.
