Summary

My notes on how to connect Mobexler VM on VirtualBox with a physical android device

Steps to connect

1. Start an adb server on the machine(host) that is connected to the physical device using the command adb -a -P <port number> nodaemon server. Default port being 5037
2. Make sure that the VM and the host is connected to the same network for this to work. I used Bridged Adapter on the VBox VM.
3. Note the IP address of the host machine.
4. Use the following command inside VM adb -H <Host IP> -P <Port Number> devices
5. You can see the connected devices.
6. Use other adb commands by replacing devices
