Use adb over tcpip in Android Studio?

Is it possible to show the adb logcat for a tcpip device in Android Studio? I am writing a application that utilizes the USB port and I cannot use it for adb usb.

Currently, I am using the following instruction to view the logcat in Command Prompt, but it would be nice if this was integrated into AS: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#wireless

Solution

  • After some testing Android Studio already supports this. You just need perform the following ADB commands, and now you can see the logcat and even wirelessly load your application. No USB cable needed!

    $ adb tcpip 5555
restarting in TCP mode port: 5555
