First : I know about abdWireless app. But my problem is different.

I am using my Android mobile as Mobile AP (Portable WiFi hotspot) for using internet on my computer. I want to use adb in wireless mode but the problem is - when i enable Mobile AP on my android mobile WiFi gets turned off and i am unable to use abdWireless app.

I want to use both wireless ADB and Portable WiFi hotspot at the same time. Is there any way to do it ???

The ADB over Wifi Widget works over mobile AP connections, though it does require root. You'd need to install it, place the widget on one of your home screens, and then tap it to turn on wireless ADB connections. The widget should then show the IP you need to connect to (ex: in my case it was 192.168.43.1) and the port to use (mine was 8000, but this is configurable). On your PC you then need to run:

adb connect <ip>:<port>

So again using my device as an example, I used:

adb connect 192.168.43.1:8000

Thanks eldererathis. You've made my day. 'ADB over Wifi Widget' is the only tools that worked, others just failed. Now i can use both wifi hotspot and adb simultaneously. – sam Jan 18 '12 at 18:01
