How to connect multiple android devices with ADB over wifi
I have this problem long time ago so I decided to create this simple bash script.
Assuming that you already added the adb
to the path:
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/YOUR-USERNAME/path/to/adb
You just need to follow this steps:
Run this commands: to create your script (typically, you want $HOME/bin for storing your own scripts)
cd ~ mkdir bin cd bin touch adb_connect
Open and copy the script using any editor like gedit.
gedit adb_connect
And make your file executable.
sudo chmod +x adb_connect
Modify your path to add the directory where your script is located:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
Finally, now connect your device using USB and run the script:
adb_connect
Your device must be connect now, disconnect the USB cable and repeat steps 5 and 6 to add more devices. If a successful connection occurs, it will have this output:
Connecting to LGV498bdcb2c5 restarting in TCP mode port: 7105 connected to 192.168.20.105:7105
Yes there is a way to do so without having to type the serial number.
Say you have 2 devices A (IP: 192.168.1.32) and B (IP: 192.168.1.33) that you want to connect to ADB over wifi:
- Connect device A with a USB cable to the computer (but not B)
adb -d tcpip 5555
adb connect 192.168.1.32
- Disconnect device A, and connect device B with a USB cable to the computer
adb -d tcpip 5555
adb connect 192.168.1.33
A slight change in the Abdul Wasae answer, based on my experience .
devices A (IP: 192.168.1.32)
devices B (IP: 192.168.1.33)
Connect device A with a USB cable to the computer (but not B)
adb -d tcpip 5555
adb connect 192.168.1.32
Disconnect device A, and connect device B with a USB cable to the computer,This time you need to change the port !!
adb -d tcpip 5554
Here you need to specify port as well
adb connect 192.168.1.33:5554
