Shell script to connect a USB connected device via adb over WiFi
# Purpose: Shell script to connect a USB connected device via adb over WiFi
#
# Author: Amanshu Raikwar
#
# Assumptions:
# 1. USB debugging is enabled in the Android device
# 2. The Android device is connected to the computer via USB
# 3. The Android device is connected to the same wifi as the computer
# 4. The Android device is accessible through port 5555 over the wifi network
#
# How To Use (without any options):
# 1. Paste the file where adb resides, for mac it is ~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/
# 2. Run ./adbwificonnect
# 3. Choose the device by typing X in [X] --> ... when prompted
# 4. Wait around 6-7 seconds
# 5. Connected!
#
# Options:
# -a
# To connect to all available devices
#
# -d device_id
# Sepcifies the device id to be connected to
# if no command line params provided
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
clear
# list available devices
echo "Available devices:"
devices="$(./adb devices)"

# save device info in an array
for word in $devices; do

echo "[$i] --> $word"

done
# wait for user input to choose device
read -p "Choose device: " choice
# chosen device id
device=${devicemap[choice]}

# note: this may change depending on the computer
