Sudo Unable to Resolve Host Ubuntu 12.04: How to Set Up Wireless Debugging on Android Devices

Android's wireless debugging feature allows you to deploy and debug your app wirelessly from your workstation via Android Debug Bridge (ADB). This feature is particularly useful when working with multiple remote devices, as it eliminates the need for physically connecting devices via USB and dealing with common USB connection issues. In this article, we'll explore how to set up wireless debugging on Android devices.

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure that your device is running Android 11 or higher and your workstation is connected to the same wireless network as your device. You should also have the latest version of Android Studio installed on your workstation.

Pairing Your Device with Your Workstation

To use wireless debugging, you need to pair your device with your workstation. To do this, follow these steps:

1. On your workstation, update to the latest version of the Android SDK.

2. Ensure that your device is connected to the same wireless network as your workstation.

3. Open Android Studio and select 'Pair Devices Using Wi-Fi' from the Run menu.

Verifying Your Device Connection

After pairing your device, you can verify that it's connected by running the `adb devices` command from your Android SDK directory.

Installing Udev Rules

The system needs to have udev rules installed that cover your device. You can install these rules using the following command:

`sudo apt-get install android-sdk-platform-tools-common`

This package contains a community-maintained default set of udev rules for Android devices.

Adding Yourself to the Plugdev Group

Each user who wants to use ADB needs to be in the plugdev group. You can add yourself to this group using the following command:

`sudo usermod -aG plugdev your_username`

Note that groups only update on login, so you must log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.

Additional Configuration

Depending on your operating system, you may need to perform additional configuration steps. Here are some general guidelines:

* Windows: Install a USB driver for ADB (if applicable).

* macOS: No additional configuration required.

* ChromeOS: No additional configuration required.

Setting Up Your Device

Before you can start debugging on your device, you'll need to set it up for development. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your device and select Developer options.

2. Enable USB debugging (if applicable).

3. Set up your device using a USB cable or Wi-Fi.

Using Wireless Debugging
