In the realm of Android app development, debugging applications over Wi-Fi can offer a more flexible and convenient setup compared to traditional USB debugging. This guide provides a step-by-step process to configure your development environment for Wi-Fi debugging using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) with Eclipse.
Step-by-Step Guide to Connect ADB over Wi-Fi
Initial Setup
- Ensure your Android device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your development machine.
- Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging on your Android device. Additionally, enable ADB over network if available.
Connecting ADB via Wi-Fi
- Open a terminal or command prompt on your computer.
- Execute the command:
adb connect
. Replace<phone-ip-address>
with the actual IP address of your Android device. The default port is 5555, which can be omitted if not specified. - Verify the connection by running
adb devices
. This should list your device as connected.
Configuring Eclipse
- Open Eclipse and navigate to Run > Debug Configurations.
- Select your configuration and navigate to the Target tab.
- Choose Manual to enable a device selection prompt each time you start a debugging session.
Disconnecting ADB
To disconnect your device, execute: adb disconnect
.
Troubleshooting Tips
If your device does not appear in the ADB devices list, ensure that:
- Your device and computer are on the same network.
- ADB over network is enabled on your device.
- No firewall is blocking the connection.
