connect to avd/logcat via bluetooth

Is there any way of connecting my actual device to avd and/or especially to logcat via bluetooth? googleing it didn't yield anything so if anyone has an idea please share!

Thanks, George

Solution

  • Assuming your goal is to be able to connect your device wirelessly to the adb server, this blog post (that I wrote) will answer your question.

    TL;DR, you need to switch the ADB transport mode from USB to TCPIP.

    The steps are:

    • Grap the IP address of the device, by doing:

    adb shell netcfg

    • Switch to TCPIP mode:

    adb tcpip 5555 (or any port number between 5555 and 5585

    • Stop adb server

    adb kill-server

    • Set ADBHOST to your IP address

    ADBHOST= adb devices

    Note that if you change your keywords to: set adb in TCP/IP mode you will probably find a lot of resources, like this StackOverflow question or this XDA post.
