Connecting your Android device to Android Studio using ADB over a Wi-Fi network can sometimes be a frustrating experience. Users may encounter issues where the pairing process stalls, displaying messages such as “pairing device” or “searching for devices” without any progress. This troubleshooting guide will help you overcome such hurdles and establish a successful wireless ADB connection with your Android 11 device.
Steps for a Successful ADB Connection Over Wi-Fi
Follow these steps meticulously to connect your Android device to Android Studio:
- Ensure wireless debugging is enabled on your Android device within the Developer options.
- On your device, navigate to the wireless debugging settings and select “Pair device with pairing code”. Keep this screen open.
- On your computer, open a terminal or command prompt window.
- Change directory to your Android SDK’s platform-tools folder using the command:
cd %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\sdk\platform-tools - Initiate the pairing process by entering the command:
adb pair <PHONE_IP>:<PHONE_PORT>Replace <PHONE_IP> and <PHONE_PORT> with the actual IP address and port number displayed on your device’s screen.
- When prompted, enter the pairing code shown on your device.
- After successful pairing, establish the connection with the following command:
adb connect <PHONE_IP>:<PHONE_PORT_PROVIDED_ABOVE_PAIR_WITH_QR_BUTTON>Use the port number provided when you initially clicked the “Pair with QR code” button on your device.
- Android Studio should automatically detect the connection. Your device is now connected wirelessly!
