android emulation on virtual box in eclipse - android

I have android running on virtualbox, to use it as a second cell phone with an bluetooth usb stick, to connect it with a real device.
I have 2 Questions:
Is it possible to get access with DDMS in eclipse like the real device to the virtual box version?
How can i install in .apk package on the virtual box android?
I hope somoeone can help me.
Thanks!

Press Alt+F1, type netcfg write down the IP address and press Alt+F7.
Run adb connect <virtual_machine_ip> in terminal on your host machine.
You should then see the device in ADT and be able to run your applications on it.
Edit: This will work if you are set up to use bridged or host-only adapters: for NAT you must set up port forwarding first:
cd to your VirtualBox folder on Windows: (C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox)
set up a port forwarding rule via command line like so: VBoxManage modifyvm <name_of_your_android_vm> --natpf1 adb,tcp,*,5555,*,5555
Run your vm
Connect to your VM by typing adb connect localhost:5555
Launch your application in Eclipse and you will see localhost:5555 as an available AVD

how to connect santoku adb to Android AVD on windows HOST?

I use Santoku in virtual box and I run Android AVD on a windows10 as host
When I type on Santoku terminal adb devices there is no device appear even I run the AVD on windows .
I put the Adapter network for VM as NAT and Bridge but nothing happened and still tell me that there is no devices are connected .
How can I do this ?

BlueStacks - Android Virtual Devices don't get assigned IP and port

I just installed BlueStacks latest version using the default configuration.
Then I ran the Android SDK command:
> adb devices
and I got:
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
As you can see, the BlueStacks doesn't get an IP and Port.
I cannot deploy from MSVS2015 to this AVD and I think that's the reason, because I also have Genymotion AVD installed which has an IP and Port and this is visible by the MSVS2015.
List of devices attached
192.168.189.101:5555 device
How can I make the BlueStacks get an IP and Port for the AVD and then deploy to it from MSVS2015/Xamarin?
Try this: run netstat -a in your command prompt. If you see 127.0.0.1:5555 running, then everything is okay, else disable your firewall. Then run adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555. Hope it helps.
For me the following did the trick: On the Bluestacks machine (assuming it is a Windows machine) run cmd as Administrator and type in:
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress={ip.of.bluestacks.windows.machine} listenport=5555 connectaddress=127.0.0.1 connectport=5555
Now you can connect from remote machine using
adb connect {ip.of.bluestacks.windows.machine}:5555

Android Studio connect ADB via Ethernet

Is there a way to connect the ADB via Ethernet from within the Android Studio IDE? The device I have to use has no USB slave ports.
This feature has been added recently.
Install some Android-x86 on your Xen/KVM/Virtualbox VM and enable debug there.
Ensure you've got shared bridge connection or virtual network device that can reached from outside of VM and can resolve some network address from your favourite WiFi router.
So resolve some address via root terminal with dhcpcd.
There is no ifconfig there. Only ip addr show and ip link show.
Connect with adb to 192.168.x.x with adb connect 192.168.x.x or whatever
Go to Run => Edit Configurations => General => Target device
and choose Show chooser dialog
So when you press run - choose your device and have fun.

From eclipse of host machine build and run androidx86(in virtualbox) of second machine

I have two computers , second computer is used as second monitor with the help of synergy
iam interested in android programming.
As AVDs are very slow,i use AndroVM as a way to to run my programs from eclipse
my question is i want to click build and run in eclipse of first machine, instead of running in AndroVM on my host machine i want to run it on AndroVM installed on second machine for seamless access with help of synergy.
is there a way to set up in virtual box? iam a noob,detailed explanations would help.
You can achiev this via tcp/ip.
install X86 Android with this network config
give Android a IP
Press:
ALT + F1
Type:
netcfg eth0 dhcp
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
connect adb with the virtual mashine
./adb connect [ip from last step]
Check out my detailed tutorial I wrote a few months ago.

Debug device connected by USB to VirtualBox's host, from Android-Studio inside VM

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. When I run "adb devices" to list the devices present it show up no problem, but when I attempt to run an "adb install", logcat, or push it hangs. Currently there is a bug in virtualbox which applies to this but I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself would have a workaround.
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6620
Of coarse non of this would be an issue if Xamarin released a linux port of their product or if I got familiar with Java, but I suppose those are slightly different issues.
Brian, one workaround you might consider is to make your VM host an ADB host as well. Then you can just connect your VM client to it over TCP / IP. Here's the general idea for that setup:
Install the Android SDK on the host machine. You should only require the platform-tools package which includes adb.
Don't allow your VM client to take ownership of the Android device, so disable any VirtualBox USB filter rules you have and it also wouldn't hurt to then detach and reattach the device.
From your VM client, run adb kill-server. Make it a tskill adb for certainty. If you have any running instances of Eclipse, you'll want to shut those down first because it'll actually launch adb in the background. Don't skip this step.
From the host, execute adb devices. If all goes well (and it should), you'll see your device listed. It should look something like this (note the port number and sorry for the mangling):
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
015d2994ed200409 device
At this point, your host should have an ADB server running at port 5037. You can check this from the VM client by running telnet 10.0.2.2 5037, where 10.0.2.2 is the default IP for VirtualBox hosts and 5037 is the default ADB port noted above.
Now you must either forward the ports from your host to your VM client, or otherwise connect ADB directly to your host IP:port. If you're like me, you'll find the ADBHOST and ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT variables to be poorly documented and easy to screw up. For this reason, consider simple port fowarding over ssh (maybe via Cygwin) like so from the VM client:
autossh -nNL5037:localhost:5037 -oExitOnForwardFailure=yes 10.0.2.2
Finally, run adb devices from your VM client. If you see "daemon not running," it means your port fowarding is screwed up. Otherwise you should see your device and be able to logcat all day. One noteworthy point is that you won't have an adb daemon running on your VM client, except for when you're actually using the debug bridge, of course.
I've used a similar mechanism for debugging devices over the network that are connected to remote machines and it worked well.
Not sure what has changed in VirtualBox since the question was posted, but selecting the usb device from VirtualBox menu Devices -> USB -> DeviceName worked seamlessly. I am working on VirtualBox 5.1.2 r108956.
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.
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.
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
Now you can connect to your device. On your VM client, run:
adb connect <Device IP>:5555
From here all my adb shell, logcat, and monkey sessions ran without interruption!
I'm posting this here for people with a setup similar to mine:
Host OS: OSX (10.15.4 Catalina)
Client OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (v1903 build 18362.752)
VirtualBox v6.1.4
Android Studio v3.6.2
To allow Android Studio in client OS (Windows) to connect to an Android phone (using adb) via USB:
Update to latest version of VirtualBox (currently 6.1.4)
Install VirtualBox Extension Pack from here
With the VM powered down, go to Settings > Ports > USB and make sure the USB 3.0 (xHCI) Controller is enabled, then click "OK"
From the host OS (i.e. OSX) open up a terminal and start adb and confirm that the phone is connected by running adb devices
Start up the VM, and from the VirtualBox menu select Devices > USB > [YOUR PHONE] to connect your host OS USB port to the VM
Open up a terminal on the client OS (Windows) and run adb devices to confirm that the adb server is running and can find your phone. You might need to add the Android platform tools to your PATH (mine was at C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools). This step might be optional--I suspect that Android Studio might start up adb on its own.
Start up Android Studio in the client OS (Windows) and go to File > Settings > Appearance and Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK > SDK Tools and make sure that the Google USB Driver is installed (see screenshot here)
After I did these things, Android Studio was able to detect my phone and run/debug apps using that device.
Hope this helps!
I had the same problem and it made me search for about 2 hours.I tried several approaches including all above solutions but none of them worked
My situation
My host was archlinux and the guest was windows 8.1 I was running flash builder in windows but the usb debugging wouldn't work and my connected device was nexus 5 so i followed these steps
Enable USB controller from virtualbox menu Machine-->settings-->usb enable usb controller and enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) controller then add your device(click on + button on right side) then start your virtual machine
Now you should download the latest google usb drivers from here and extract it
Go to control panel device manager right click on your device go to driver tab and click on Update driver there should be two option one search automaticly ... and another browse my computer choose the second one and give the extracted file path(check the Included subfolders option) after this your device should be recognized by windows and there will be a message in your android device for allowing access to your device
In my case i should copy the drivers to flashbuilder android drivers path too but maybe for your situation this isn't necessary
I had same problem with VirtualBox 5.0.14 and solution provided by Stephen Niedzielski didn't work for me. If someone is still interested can try this solution.
My environment is:
Host OS: Mac OS 10.11
Guest OS in VirtualBox: Ubuntu 14.04
Device: Galaxy S5 running Cyanomodgen 12.1
Start a wifi hotspot in host OS and connect there the android device, or connect both in a router. In virtualbox set network mode for guest OS to 'Bridged Adapter' and then select name of Wifi adapter. In that way host OS and android device are in same network.
Then, in android device activate 'Developer mode' and enable 'ADB over network', provided from Cyanomodgen. (For devices with original version of android, google how to use ADV over network if possible)
In host OS run 'adb kill-server' and make sure no instance of ADB is running. Then run command 'adb connect 192.168.2.12', ip of android device.
Congrats :) Now you are are able to use ADB with android device to take logcat or pull and push files.
Install the Android SDK on the host machine. You should only require the platform-tools package which includes adb.

(https://stackoverflow.com/a/12557836/16902966)
and in the virtual machine (Windows):
set ADB_SERVER_SOCKET=tcp:10.0.2.2:5037
Connected device(s): ...\platform-tools>adb.exe devices .
