Below I have mentioned the extra information which you might need while following the instructions from the above docs.

3) On your workstation, open a terminal window and navigate to android_sdk/platform-tools. ( if you already have android_sdk set as system's PATH environment variable , you can directly run adb pair ipaddr:port this command .

4) To get the IP address, port number, and pairing code for pairing your Android device with your workstation, you need to enable wireless debugging on your device:

  1. Enable Developer Options:

    • Go to your device's "Settings."

    • Scroll down and tap on "About Phone."

    • Tap on the "Build Number" 7 times in quick succession. You'll see a message indicating that you are now a developer.

  2. Enable Wireless Debugging:

    • Go back to the main "Settings" menu.

    • You should now see a new option called "Developer Options." Tap on it.

    • Scroll down and find "Wireless Debugging." Enable it.

    • Tap on "Pair device with pairing code."

  3. Note the Details:

    • Your device's screen will now display its IP address, port number, and a unique pairing code. Note these down.
