How to use profiler on application with cable?

Unity Engine

Hey guys, I want to use the profiler on my mobile application, but my PC is not connected via wifi, it is connected via Ethernet. So I can’t really do it that way. I have heard about this way:

For Android Debug Bridge (adb) profiling, follow these steps:

  • Attach your device to your computer via cable and make sure that it shows in the adb
    devices list.
  • Go to the Build Settings (menu: File > Build Settings), enable the Development Build checkbox, and then select Build & Run
  • When the application launches on the device, open the Profiler window in the Unity Editor (menu: Window > Analysis > Profiler).
  • From the Attach to Player drop-down menu, select AndroidProfiler(ADB@127.0.0.1:34999). The entry in the drop-down menu is only visible when the selected target is Android.

But I don’t really know how to use adb, I have checked the development build, I put my usb debugging on device on, i opened the profiler and nothing popped up(in the Attach to player menu). What is adb? How do I make it work withouth wifi?

Thanks everyone, and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :slight_smile:

Is your PC wired to the same router that your WiFi network is on? Most routers will allow wired devices to communicate freely with wireless devices.
