Wireless Debug VS Code Extension

A Visual Studio Code extension to simplify wireless debugging of Android devices using ADB pairing and connecting commands.

Features

• Lists your active network IP addresses for easy selection
• Prompts for device IP (last digits only) and port number based on your network
• Supports ADB wireless debugging pair code input
• Provides commands to pair and connect your Android device wirelessly
• Works with system hotspot and standard Wi-Fi networks

Requirements

• ADB (Android Debug Bridge) must be installed and added to your system PATH
• Your Android device should have Wireless Debugging enabled and show a pairing code

Usage

Commands

• Wireless Debug: Pair Device
  Starts the pairing process:

  1. Select your network IP (e.g., 192.168.1.1)
  2. Enter the last digits of your device IP (e.g., 45) and port number (usually 5555)
  3. Enter the 6-digit wireless debugging pair code shown on your Android device
  4. Optionally connect immediately by entering device port number again

• Wireless Debug: Connect to Device
  Connects to your device without pairing:

  1. Select your network IP
  2. Enter the last digits of your device IP and port number
  3. Connects via adb connect ip:port

Running the commands

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P)
2. Type and select Wireless Debug: Pair Device or Wireless Debug: Connect to Device
3. Follow the prompts

Example

If your network IP is 192.168.1.1, device IP is 192.168.1.45, and port is 5555:

• Select 192.168.1.1 from network list
• Enter 45 for last digits of device IP
• Enter 5555 as port number
• Enter the 6-digit pair code from your device (for pairing)
• Optionally connect immediately

ADB commands run under the hood:

adb pair 192.168.1.45:5555
# (pair code sent as input)
adb connect 192.168.1.45:5555
