Tested on Ubuntu.

You probably want to change network interface name (wlan0 in my case).
Run ifconfig for more details.

Usage:

  1. Connect android device with usb cable and make sure that ADB is working correctly via the cable.
    • There must be only one device connected, no support for multiple devices yet.
    • Device must be in the same network.
  2. Execute script.
  3. If everything worked you should see something like Connected to xx.xx.xx.xx:5555.
  4. Unplug the USB cable and continue work as usual, but over a WIFI network.
