adbWireless is great!

If you develop on android you must know how annoying it can be sometimes to have to have your phone plugged into your computer via USB just to debug an app on it. Sometimes you might not have the cable with you, or maybe you just can’t be bothered to find it.

Thankfully I’ve found adbWireless (spanish). For anyone who has a rooted phone you just need to install this app from the market and then run the command it shows on the screen. The command is for adb on your computer and tells it to connect to a device on the network.

All you need to do is make sure your phone and computer are on the same local network, which does mean that you need to have wireless on all the time to use this app. However, for most situations this is perfectly fine.

Hopefully it’s useful to you. I plan on using it when I’m at Madlab so I don’t have to carry yet another cable with me in my bag :)
