<p>You can debug your wearable over Bluetooth by routing it's debug output to the
handheld device that's connected to your development machine.</p>

<h2 id="SetupDevices">Setup Devices for Debugging</h2>
<ol>
  <li>Enable USB debugging on the handheld:
    <ul>
      <li>Open the Settings app and scroll to the bottom.</li>
      <li>If it doesn't have a Developer Options setting, tap <b>About Phone</b>
      (or <b>About Tablet</b>), scroll to the bottom, and tap the build number 7 times.</li>
      <li>Go back and tap <b>Developer Options</b>.</li>
      <li>Enable <b>USB debugging</b>.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Enable Bluetooth debugging on the wearable:
    <ol>
      <li>Tap the home screen twice to bring up the Wear menu. </li>
      <li>Scroll to the bottom and tap <b>Settings</b>.</li>
      <li>Scroll to the bottom. If there's no <b>Developer Options</b> item, tap <b>About</b>,
      and then tap the build number 7 times.</li>
      <li>Tap the <b>Developer Options</b> item.</li>
      <li>Enable <b>Debug over Bluetooth</b>.</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
</ol>

<h2 id="SetupSession">Set Up a Debugging Session</h2>
<ol>
 <li>On the handheld, open the Android Wear companion app.</li>
 <li>Tap the menu on the top right and select <b>Settings</b>.</li>
 <li>Enable <b>Debugging over Bluetooth</b>. You should see a tiny status summary appear under the
 option:
 <pre>
Host: disconnected
Target: connected
</pre>
</li>
<li>Connect the handheld to your machine over USB and run:
<pre>
adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub; adb connect localhost:4444
</pre>

<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: You can use any available port that you have access to.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
In the Android Wear companion app, you should see the status change to:</p>
<pre>
Host: connected
Target: connected
</pre>

<h2 id="#debug">Debug Your App</h2>

Your wearable should show up as <code>localhost:4444</code> when running <code>adb devices</code>.

To run any <code>adb</code> command, use this format:

<pre>adb -s localhost:4444 &lt;command&gt; </pre>

<p>If there are no other devices connected over TCP/IP (namely emulators),  you can shorten the command
to:</p>
<pre>
adb -e &lt;command&gt;
</pre>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre>
adb -e logcat
adb -e shell
adb -e bugreport
</pre>
