Debugging using a virtual machine like VMWare/VirtualBox?

by

Solution:

I would highly recommend to use Android x86 coz it many many times faster than Android emulator with Android x86 4.2 you can install and use any application with this and use “Google play” synch with your account as you do it with tablet

Working with latest Android X86 4.2 Jelly Bean and Virtual Box

I have found Different ways to connect with Internet and adb

Step: 1 Selection of Adapters

CASE 1: Only Internet {NAT Adapter}

The easiest solution is just use NAT adapter that will directly connect you to internet if host is connected to internet but you won’t get the adb connection with this setup
Here you will get Public ip so you can’t connect to Host computer

NAT adapter

Case 2: Only adb {Host Only Adapter}

The easiest solution is just use Host Only Adapter

Host Only Adapter Settings

Note: The default Host Only adapter may not work due to DHCP server settings either create new HostOnlyAdapter or run DHCP server for existing Adapter()

Case 3: For both adb and Internet {Bridge Adapter}

You will have to take care in this case.

If you are using LAN for internet connection you shall use Bridge Adapter with your Ethernet card it will give you local ip and Virtual Machine will connect to Internet using host machine

Alternatively if you are with Wifi just do the same by selecting the Wifi adapter

For other type of connection you shall go with the same way

Bridge Adapter

Step: 2 Connection with adb

to check the ip Address just press Alt+F1 {for console Window} [To switch back to Graphics view press Alt+F7 ]

you will see the console window type netcfg

it will show the ip address

Now move on to you host run command prompt move to adb directory
type

 adb connect {your ip address}

Example

adb connect 192.168.1.51

Note: if adb is not running or responding you can do following

adb kill-server

adb start-server

you can check devices connected to adb 

adb devices
