Device Connection

Emulator Connection (ADB Port Forwarding)

For Android emulators such as LDPlayer, MEmu and MuMu — use the ADB tool on your PC to hook the emulator into the online editor.

Prerequisites

• ADB installed on your PC (a small tool that lets your computer talk to Android devices). Download platform-tools from the Android website
• AutoLua installed and open on the device, with the Remote Development switch turned on in Settings

Step 1: Confirm the device is connected

Run this command in a terminal or command prompt:

Seeing the emulator in the device list means your PC has recognized it:

Step 2: Port forwarding

Run these commands to bridge your PC and the emulator so the editor can reach it:

Step 3: Connect in the editor

1. Open the online editor
2. Enter 127.0.0.1 in the address field
3. Click connect to start remote editing and debugging

Emulator Wireless Connection (Bridge Mode)

Give the emulator its own network address like a real phone, so you can connect by IP directly — no commands needed.

When to use

• Emulators that support network bridging, such as LDPlayer, MEmu and MuMu
• When you want the emulator to connect over the LAN by IP, just like a real device

Step 1: Turn on bridge mode in the emulator

1. Open the emulator's Settings or Network Settings
2. Switch the network mode to Bridge Mode
3. Select your PC's wireless adapter (e.g. Intel Wireless-AC)
4. Save and restart the emulator

Step 2: Find the emulator's IP

After the emulator restarts, go to Settings → WLAN or Network Info inside it to see the IP:

Make sure this IP shares the same first three groups as your PC (e.g. both 192.168.x.x), meaning they're on the same network.

Step 3: Connect in the editor

1. Open the online editor
2. Enter the emulator's bridge IP, e.g. 192.168.1.10
3. Click connect

Can't connect?

Run ping in your PC terminal to check whether the PC and emulator can reach each other:

• Pings but won't connect → check that AutoLua's Remote Development switch is on
• No ping reply → they're not on the same network; check that bridge mode picked the right wireless adapter, or use the ADB method above

Phone Wireless Connection (LAN)

With the phone and PC on the same Wi-Fi, connect straight by the phone's IP — no USB cable needed.

Step 1: Find the phone's IP

On the phone, go to Settings → WLAN → current Wi-Fi details to see the IP, usually like:

Step 2: Turn on Remote Development

Open AutoLua on the phone, go to Settings, and turn on the Remote Development switch. The phone will then wait for the PC to connect.

Step 3: Connect in the editor

1. Open the online editor in your PC browser
2. Enter the phone's IP address in the form 192.168.x.x
3. Click connect

WSS Connection

When the editor reports WSS connection failed (e.g. "WSS connection failed, please open … click Advanced → Proceed → go back to the editor and refresh"), follow the steps below.

Why it fails

Step 1: Open the device's address

Open the device's address in a new browser tab (same IP you use in the editor, port 8081):

The page will warn "Your connection is not private / not secure" — this is normal, don't worry.

Step 2: Click Proceed

Click Advanced → Proceed to <IP> (unsafe) on the page.

Step 3: Confirm it's allowed

If the page shows this line of text:

Step 4: Go back and reconnect

1. Return to the online editor
2. Refresh the page
3. Re-enter the device IP and click connect

Alternative: download the local editor

If you'd rather skip the allow step, download the editor and run it locally — no blocking prompt, just open and connect:

Troubleshooting

Connection failed

• Check the IP is correct (use 127.0.0.1 for the ADB method; the real IP for bridge mode / phone)
• Timeout, refused or failed → run ping the-IP in your PC terminal to test whether the two devices can reach each other
• No ping reply → they're not on the same network; check the bridge adapter selection and that your PC is on Wi-Fi
• Pings but won't connect → check AutoLua's Remote Development switch is on
• Page reports WSS connection failed → allow the device connection in the browser first, see WSS Connection

adb devices shows no device

• Some emulators require enabling ADB debugging manually (LDPlayer: Settings → Other → ADB Debugging → enable local connection)
• Some emulators need a manual ADB connect — check their docs for the port number
