Android Development

There is a pretty cool way to debug android applications on an android x86 host when you don’t have usb connection between your workstation and the the device.

The steps, which are described here for Android X86 inside a virtual machine, but they seem to work on real device too, according to Marius:

Open a terminal on the device and type:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

Then type:

netcfg

and write down the displayed IP address. On the development machine then type the following:

 adb connect :5555

Below are some screenshots of Eclipse session debugging one remote app and a   remote breakpoint example.
