Android USB debugging in VirtualBox

Question

I am trying to get mono for android (aka monodroid) working within a windows 7 virtual machine on virtualbox but I am having issues with the adb connection to my phone. Whe

Answer 1

I was also having trouble with ADB running over VM. I had a Windows 10 host and an Ubuntu 14.04 client. The autossh method did not work for me. I found an easier solution from another StackOverflow question. It requires that both your PC and your device are on the same WiFi network.

1. On your VM client run the following: adb tcpip 5555

   The device will disconnect from the VM because ADB is now in TCP mode instead of USB.

2. For the next part you need the IP address of your device. To find it, simply run adb shell ip -f inet addr show wlan0

3. Now you can connect to your device. On your VM client, run:

   adb connect :5555

From here all my adb shell, logcat, and monkey sessions ran without interruption!
