How can I use adb over WiFi?

  • Connect Android phone and host machine to same WiFi network
  • Connect Android phone to host machine using USB cable (to start with)
  • Run adb tcpip 5555 from a command prompt
  • Run adb shell "ip addr show wlan0 | grep -e wlan0$ | cut -d\" \" -f 6 | cut -d/ -f 1" to obtain the phone’s IP address
  • Disconnect USB cable and run adb connect <ip_address>:5555

You can now view logcat output by running adb logcat or by viewing the Android Monitor tab within Android Studio.
