Debugging an Android application while an accessory is connected can pose a challenge, as using ADB through a USB cable becomes impractical. In such instances, establishing an ADB connection over Wi-Fi is the ideal solution.

Steps to Configure an ADB Connection over Wi-Fi

  1. Ensure both the device and the computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. Temporarily connect the device to the computer using a USB cable for the initial configuration process.
  3. On the computer’s command line, input the following: adb tcpip 5555
  4. To obtain the IP address, run this command: adb shell ip addr show wlan0 and copy the IP address found after “inet” and before the “/”. Alternatively, navigate to Settings → About → Status on the device to retrieve the IP address.
  5. Establish the ADB connection by entering the following on the computer’s command line: adb connect ip-address-of-device:5555
  6. Lastly, detach the USB cable from the device and verify that the device is still detected by running adb devices.
