Test Android app by installing app wirelessly on device.

I wanted to try out installing the app wirelessly on device. I followed some links given below:
1. http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
2. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2604727/how-can-i-connect-to-android-with-adb-over-tcp
3. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-wMYWpljgHolnVHCsV2VGeMmBcc29Id9rMbHrZoCelE/edit#

All of thes mentioned similar steps however none worked for me. Problem arised when following command was executed.

d:\sdk\platform-tools>adb tcpip 5555
restarting in TCP mode port: 5555


The command seemed to be stuck and did not finish executing. It took 4-6 hours to figure out the correct procedure by trial and error. Here's the correct procedure.
1. Connect your phone to PC.
2. Open command prompt and go to /sdk/platform-tools/ directory.
3. Now type the following command " adb tcpip 5555".
4. Once you see "restarting ..." message, remove device from PC. This will finish execution of above command.

D:\sdkForEclipseDoNotUpdate\sdk\platform-tools>adb tcpip 5555
restarting in TCP mode port: 5555


5. Now simply run the following command where replace "192.168.0.100 " with ip address of your device.

D:\sdkForEclipseDoNotUpdate\sdk\platform-tools>adb connect 192.168.0.100
connected to 192.168.0.100:5555

6. Check the attached devices.

D:\sdkForEclipseDoNotUpdate\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
192.168.0.100:5555      device
