How do I connect my Raspberry Pi 3 running Android Things to a wifi network?

Question

I have flashed my Raspberry Pi 3 with the Android Things image, I have not been able to connect it to my wifi network. I have run adb devices but I get no response.

Answer 1

Take a look at this question: connect to Raspberry Pi 3 using adb

The Raspberry Pi isn't a USB device, the USB connection is just for power, so it won't show up in adb devices. You have to connect it to a network first then use adb connect.

Answer 2

If you are trying to connect to wifi, you can connect your pi with a laptop through USB to TTL module, after that you can use putty to run the following

am startservice \
    -n com.google.wifisetup/.WifiSetupService \
    -a WifiSetupService.Connect \
    -e ssid YOURWIFINAME \
    -e passphrase YOURWIFIPASSWORD

if you do it successfully you should be able to see your pi's ip address after running:

ifconfig wlan0

like this:

inet addr: 192.168.1.104 Bcast: 192.168.1.255  Mask 255.255.255.0

Answer 3

In short, you have to connect it to network using Ethernet and then follow the instructions using adb command to connect it to Wifi. Yeah, I know it is dumb but it is just the way it works at the moment.

And adb devices won't show anything until it is connected with TCP. RPi3 won't work as a USB slave device.
