Run/install/debug Android applications over Wi-Fi?

Question

I thought there was a way to test your applications in development over Wi-Fi. Is this possible?

I\'d love to be able to untether my phone and develop wirelessly.

Answer 2

Radu Simionescu's answer worked for me. Thank you. For those who are unable to see the ip address of their android device, go to Settings > Wireless > Wi-Fi and then long press the wifi which you are connected to. Then select Modify network config check on Show Advance Options and the scroll to IP address section.

After installing adb in your system, do run killadd adb and adb start-server to refresh adb. Sometimes we could get issues like here

Answer 3

For all , this , there exists a better method (EASIEST METHOD) :

1 ) A plugin for Android studio exits , called Android wifi ADB

2) Go to file -> settings -> Plugins -> Browse Repositories

3) Look for Android WiFi ADB , click on INSTALL , and then restart on prompt

4) You will see a new icon , which is your new plugin .

Now to make this work :

5) Go to your phone's developer option and enable DEBUGGING (must)

6) Also enable , ALLOW DEBUG OVER TCP/NETWORK

7) Attach your phone via USB , and make sure , both phone and your pc/laptop are connected to the same network (either hotspot or wifi)

8) CLICK ON THE NEW ICON (ie your ANDROID Wifi ABD)

9) Your phone get's detected and get's connected over wifi/hotspot , and hence now you may disconnect the usb . This is a one time process , hence you may not need to keep phone connected over usb .

This will save your phone from irregular charges and also , a remedy for short length usb cables .

android Wireless Debugging (MAC)

step 1: go to sdk folder (common path "/Users/macname/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools") open cmd here run "adb devices" output - List of devices attached

if adb command not found in cmd type ./adb --help OS X / macOS: typically ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile Add the following line there and replace the path with the one where you installed platform-tools:

step 2: $ export PATH="/Users/macname/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools":$PATH

step 3: $ adb devices List of devices attached ZH99FF7FTY device

step 4: $ adb tcpip 5555 restarting in TCP mode port: 5555

step 5: $ adb connect 10.124.32.18:5555 connected to 10.124.32.18:5555
