My android device is paired with the PC with adb pair. I can connect it over wifi with adb connect <IP:Port No>. I want to automate the connection process, but since the port number changes every time I restart or disconnect the device, I need to look it up from the device and enter the port number in the automation script.
Is there any way to get the port number of the paired device from adb (or any other tool) from the PC without connecting it?
[Note: This certainly seems possible since after starting the android studio the device gets connected over wifi automatically. So android studio does get the port number of the paired device automatically.]

THE PROBLEM
1. I'm running on Windows
2. I created an ADV Manager on android studio to test my application
3. I have an application that uses the discovery of Networks and sent packets to the existing devices to (discover) the installed app. I use c# and I discover the existing networks by NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
4. THE PROBLEM -> The android emulator doesn't appear on windows as a device to be discovered.
I want the emulator to be like a real device to be disovered, connected to a real WiFi, but I can only connect on "AndroidWifi" available by the ADV Manager.
I cannot even ping on windows, I've gone on the emulator to the wifi connection and got the ip by clicking on >Configuration>Wifi>IP Address, so I got the ip address 10.0.2.16, and I put on windows command line ping 10.0.2.16, but this ip is not discoverable
WHAT IS NEEDED:
5. I'd like to connect to a Real Wifi, e.g. in my house I have the WiFi called Leonios, but android emulator doesn't discover other wifis, OR
6. I'd like to discover the Device via ip somehow.
I need to connect a paired bluetooth devices via the terminal, when it does not connect automatically.
On my Android 7.1 device I would normally click the bluetooth device to connect it, in bluetooth settings. Unfortunately, I do not have a touchscreen or mouse in my setup. So I'd like to use the terminal to connect it. For specific reasons I do want to do this from the Android device, not from a connected PC etc.
I only found a way to enable and disable bluetooth via adb (adb shell service call bluetooth_manager 8). As mentioned I do not want to use adb, but I want to connect from my Android device. Is it also possible to connect to paired devices?
I'm using the Android wifi ADB plugin for Android Studio to connect my phone to my laptop for development purposes. The plug-in is great and does what it's supposed to.
However, I have to set up the ADB via USB every time I start Android Studio.
Clicking on the plug in icon states that there are no connected devices and to review my USB connection.
This also happens if I don't use the ADB for some time.
Is there any way to connect via wifi seamlessly?
Android phone is connected to PC through USB, is there a way to connect wifi network using phython?
Phone should not be rooted, i know through adb if the phone is rooted we can connect. But I need a solution without the phone being rooted
My PC and Android TV device are in the same net section,so I can use adb connect the debugging device.Also ,I use adb devices command,it shows device on work.But when My PC and device use the same vpn based on the previous internet,I try to ping the device IP,it worked,then I use adb connect the device,it shows connect,but when input adb devices command , it shows device offline. I'm sure the error can't be caused by adb version,for it can work when disconnect the vpn.who can help me? I'm very appreciate for that.
If your PC and device are on the same LOCAL network, all you need to do is find the local IP address of the device (something like: 192.168.xx.xx). Then type:
adb disconnect
adb connect 192.168.xx.xx.
It'll connect again. Works for me.
The only time it does not work is when the device is the one providing the LOCAL network, e.g., your phone's mobile Hotspot. Using a VPN like this does not work directly. Whenever you use a VPN and try using ADB for a mobile hotspot (and the hotspot device is the one you're trying to connect to), you'll realize that the device goes offline.
This is because when you enter "adb connect <REMOTE_HOST>", your PC tries to route your device IP (REMOTE_HOST) via the VPN network, which will not be accessible since your ISP does not allow inbound connections to your device.
An alternative option, which I use for my device (Phone), is to use a wired connection to my PC via a USB cable. It might work for the Android TV if the proximity b/w TV and your laptop is not a problem.
Another alternative (supposing you're trying to connect a phone/Android TV) is to use another phone or router to create a hotspot. Then connect both your PC and phone/Android TV to the hotspot. Find the phone/Android TV IP address 192.168.xx.xx and enter:
adb connect 192.168.xx.xx.
