question in connect to vnc

[jaassoon]

when I try to connect android with VNC in port tcp/5900, I just connect to the mac itself, not the android in docker, why?

[tracer0tong]

@jaassoon how are you running Docker in MacOS?
Probably in dedicated VM?

[jaassoon]

now I even cant see the devices.
docker ps

Could you make netstat -an | grep 32773 in shell? This is a port there are VNC should be attached. And also for 32777 (this is container ssh).

[jaassoon]

netstat -an | grep 32773
tcp6 0 0 ::1.32773 *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 *.32773 *.* LISTEN
netstat -an | grep 32777
tcp6 0 0 ::1.32777 *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 *.32777 *.* LISTEN

ok,It can connect to vnc. but
adb devices
still show nothing

[jaassoon]

And it sounds like I cant do anything with mouse click

[jaassoon]

I use chrome VNC plugin

[tracer0tong]

Two problems here: 1) VNC in Android QEMU is not fully functional. So, it doesn't support mouse clicks and many other features. One option, which was discussed in previous issues to use Monkey Runner to send commands and capture screenshots. 2) About ADB probably you have not connected to correct port. Should be 32774

I was able to connect with
https://github.com/novnc/noVNC

For adb this worked for me:
'''
adb connect 172.17.0.2
'''

@zoutepopcorn - Can you help me, how to open emulator in the browser and which url should be given in appium driver?

@baalalazor

I don't know what I was doing at that time 🧐
Just try to look at some noVnc installs..

I now use scrcpy, maybe also an option
