Adb emulator on Android-device

Question

when I enable adb tcpip on my device

adb tcpip 5555

abd then run a shell

adb shell

and then run

adb devices

on that shell it seems that the Android system runs a dummy-device which is associated with the real device:

shell@zeroflte:/ $ adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554   device

is it possible to start this emulator from the Android system without a USB-connection?

yes after adb tcpip 5555 run adb connect 192.168.1.device ip and enter — raj, Jan 04 '16 at 11:26
when i run "adb tcpip 5555" on the device i get "error: device not found" ... the "emulator" must run before i can use any adb commands — wutzebaer, Jan 04 '16 at 11:29
... that is what i already described in my question, i cannot ask my customers to connect a debugger to their devices — wutzebaer, Jan 04 '16 at 13:28
if you just want to start "USB debugging" (i.e. `adbd`) on the device in `tcpip` mode without having to connect the device via `USB` first - then say so. The current wording (specially the title) is confusing and misleading. Hence the downvotes — Alex P., Jan 04 '16 at 23:15

First connect your device by usb.

Then run command on terminal

adb tcpip 5555

adb connect <device_ip>

Then remove device.

Now you are connected with device. Now you can detach usb cable.
