What I want to do:
Boot a VB in one mac with Android x86. Access that emulator over another mac in the same local network and load applications from the Android Studio I work with on the second mac, to the emulator (first mac).
What I have done:
Installed the VB successfully. Enable the developer and unknown sources in Android's settings. Fort forward the VB (5555).
What happens:
I run adb connect 192.168.1.4:5555 on the second mac and it connects successfully:
List of devices attached
192.168.1.4:5555 device
I open Android studio and select as target the: innotek_gmbh-virtualbox-192.168.1.4:5555. In the command line it stops at:
Waiting for device.
Target device: innotek_gmbh-virtualbox-192.168.1.4:5555
I go back to the emulator and click alt+F1 to open the kernel and type netcfg. I get:
ip6tn10 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0
lo UP 127.0.0.1/8
eth0 UP 10.0.2.15/24
sit0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0
On both Macs I can successfully connect and access the shell with adb connect localhost:5555 or adb connect 192.168.1.4:5555 as said above.
I can only install the app via adb install myapp.apk.
Why the app does not load on the targeted device from Android Studio, can I fix this?
I'm not sure what happened there but it had to do with the project. Trying another project fixes the problem and Studio can see the VB as a device and of course load the app.
