connect to Raspberry Pi 3 using adb

Question

How do I connect w/ adb to the Raspberry Pi 3 running Android Things?

Answer 1

Download a terminal emulator from Google Play (there are lots that are free). Make sure that your Android device is connected to your Wi-Fi and get the Wi-Fi IP address. Open the terminal program and type:

su setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555 stop adbd start adbd Now go to your computer (assuming that you are using Windows) and create a shortcut on the desktop for "cmd.exe" (without the quotations).

Right click on the cmd shortcut and choose "Run as Administrator"

Change to your android-sdk-windows\tools folder

Type:

adb connect ***wifi.ip.address***:5555

(example: adb connect 192.168.0.105:5555)

adb should now say that you are connected.

Note: if you are too fast to give the connect command it may fail. So try at least two times five seconds apart before you say this doesn't work.
