So I made an app! I don’t know if I’ll ever make it public, but it’s pretty simple. While Shizuku uses this to let apps run elevated operations, I think you can probably see where this is going. While wireless debugging is meant to be used from a computer, it doesn’t have to be.Īpps like Shizuku demonstrate that it’s possible on Android 11 to connect with ADB to your device…from your device, without even thinking about using a computer. While some manufacturers exposed the setting before then, it’s not available for all Google-certified devices as long as they’re on Android 11 or later. Since JetBrains Projector runs in a browser, and you can connect from something like an Android phone, as a completely random example, I wanted to try something.Īndroid 11 introduced the ability to enable wireless ADB directly from the device. Make sure the corresponding Projector instance is stopped before you do. You’ll need to remote into the server directly and update them from there. One note about Android Studio and other third-party JetBrains-based IDEs: You can’t update them from the Projector screen.

If you want more details on how to get Android Studio and SSH tunneling working, check out this GitHub document by Joaquim Verges. Easy!Īll you need is an SSH tunnel for proper Android development. Then I just use some sort of SSH client (OpenSSH, plink, etc) to create a tunnel that forwards the ADB server running locally on port 5037 to the server on port 5038. I set Android Studio on the Projector to not try to manage ADB and to use port 5038. All that’s needed is an SSH tunnel from the client to the Projector server. It’s almost like Google expected this sort of scenario to happen because ADB can connect to a remote server over the Internet. Without anything extra, you can code apps and view previews in Projector, but you can’t use an emulator or connect to a real device to actually run and debug apps. There’s also another problem with Android development and Projector: running apps. Then you can manually add it to Projector through the command line by specifying the path. To use Android Studio with JetBrains Projector, all you have to do is to download and extract Android Studio somewhere sensible.

While JetBrains Projector does support third-party IDEs, it’s now as simple as using the built-in command-line interface to download and install them. I’m an Android developer, so while I could use IntelliJ IDEA for development, Android Studio tends to work better. Android Studio running inside a Chrome app window.
