Changing default port (i.e. 5037) on which adb server runs

Question

I am a budding android developer and if there is no easy way of configuring the adb server to run on another port then the inflexibility of the tools will force me

Answer 1

With the latest adb version,

Use option -P (Note: Caps P)to start adb server in a specific port.

For Example, Try

$adb -P 5038 start-server

It will list the devices attached to this specific adb server. If the adb server is not running then it will start a new adb server with the given port number.

Hope it helps someone reading this post.

Thanks.
