I downloaded Genymotion Android emulators for Oracle VirtualBox (http://www.genymotion.com/) on my Windows 7 PC, created a virtual Jelly Bean with Google Apps device. How do I enable ADB access to it? In system settings/Developer options I already enabled "USB debugging", but typing "adb devices" shows empty list of connected devices. Tried adding a USB port for this VM and rebooting VM, but it does not help.

We need to connect with IP address to the emulator, so look for the IP address of the running emulator (it's shown in the emulator title bar) and use something like:

adb connect 192.168.56.102:5555

Afterward adb works normally. You may also find out the IP address of a running emulator by starting "Genymotion Shell" and typing 'devices list'

I also find out that occasionally I have to do the above when the emulator is running for a longer time and somehow ADB disconnects from it.

    Genymotion now shows IP address in window title, and you should use port 5555. – hunyadym Oct 17 '13 at 21:41
  • Thanks for the answer, solved my problem. I suggest you to include what @hunyadym said, because I've spent a few minutes searching for genymotion's IP before reading it :p – voghDev Aug 22 '15 at 10:55
  • Why from the prompt it says `adb is not recognized as an internal or external command`? – NineCattoRules Jun 28 '17 at 09:41
  • @NineCattoRules you need to navigate to /platform-tools/ and then do adb commands – Zoe Jul 18 '17 at 14:17
  • @hunyadym actually it shows for me and I could fix my problem using this hint! – Mehdi Dehghani Apr 04 '19 at 08:30
  • I'm wondering, if the answer of your question is this post (_as you wrote "OK, nevermind, found the answer here."_) why you marked @eyal-lezmy's answer as correct answer? – Mehdi Dehghani Apr 04 '19 at 08:33

If you launch the VM with the the launchpad (genymotion binary where you download the VMs) and you set the Android SDK path into the application parameters the connection is automatic and you don't need to run adb connect

You can find the information in the Genymotion Docs.

  • thank you for this information. I think I lunched it that way the first time, and it did not work. Maybe I don't remember correctly though, or they fixed something since then. I'll upvote your answer when I'm back at my computer and test it. – gregko Jul 21 '13 at 12:22
  • thank you again, looks like it works the way you say. Up-voted your answer now. I also see that VM works differently when started from this console, there are extra buttons on the side etc. Strangely, it also often with "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped", while I did not see these errors when starting Oracle VM. Must investigate this some more. – gregko Jul 21 '13 at 20:29
  • Actually the genymotion player is used to add functionalities. You can also manage other parameters like gps, battery, and rotation. About the force close, you should add a ticket on the support page on the website. Don't forget to precise your whole config. https://cloud.genymotion.com/page/support/# – eyal-lezmy Jul 22 '13 at 05:57

    The FC was happening on an Android VM which I was starting directly from VirtualBox. Maybe the VM was damaged in the process. I deleted it now and re-created, starting only from Genymotion player, seems OK now. Thank you again for your help! – gregko Jul 23 '13 at 12:12
  • Run Genymotion (not the emulator the program itself) -> settings -> ADB -> Find your path – Zoe Jul 18 '17 at 14:22

Simply do this, with genymotion device running you can open Virtual Box , and see that there is a VM for you device , then go to network Settings of the VM, NAT and do port forwarding of local 5555 to remote 5555 screen attachedVirtual Box Nat Network Port forwarding

My working solution is:

cd /opt/genymobile/genymotion/tools
./adb shell

You have to use its own adb tool.

Connect didn't work for me, The problem was that Genymotion uses its own dk-tools and you need to change it to custom SDK tools.

Just Go To the Genymotion Installation Directory and then in folder tools you will see adb.exe there open command prompt here and run adb commands

I know it's way too late to answer this question, but I'll just post the solution that worked for me, in case someone runs into trouble again in the future.

I tried using genymotion's own adb tools and the original Android SDK ones, and even purging and reinstalling adb from my system, but nothing worked. I kept getting the error:

adb server is out of date. killing... cannot bind 'tcp:5037' ADB server didn't ACK *failed to start daemon* error:
So I tried adb connect [ip] as suggested here, but I didn't work either, the same error came up.

What finally worked for me was downloading ADT, and running adb directly from the downloaded folder, instead of the system-wide command. So adb devices will give me the error above, but /yourdownloadpath/adb devices works just fine for me.

Hope it helped.
