android - adb more than one device/emulator

Question

I genymotion emulator and my phone connected , I want to run and debug my application over wifi , I found the instruction to do so but I get this error when I enter this code :

adb tcpip 5555

I get this error : error: more than one device/emulator

How can I make my device as default or something like that to solve this problem ?

Solution 1

You can send commands to a specific device, according to docs:

$ adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
emulator-5555 device
$ adb -s emulator-5555 do_your_command

Also, if only one is emulator or a real device you can just attach -e or -d and send the command to it:

If you have multiple devices available, but only one is an emulator, use the -e option to send commands to the emulator. Likewise, if there are multiple devices but only one hardware device attached, use the -d option to send commands to the hardware device.

Solution 2

Do following thing which will help you,

You getting the message just because you are connected more than one device.

Run commands

adb devices

after the fire above command, you get the list of the device, From the list select your device id which not emulator and fire following command

adb -s f725aa8b7ce4(deviceId) tcpip 5555

and after this fire

adb connect yourIp 5555

Did you try 'adb -s <device ID> tcpip 5555' Device id you can get it from adb devices

For some reason a command like: adb shell -e emulator-5556 am broadcast android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETE doesn't work when two emulators are attached. Can't have BlueStacks and another emulator at the same time.
