Step A. Enable Debugging on Amazon Fire TV

You must enable both ADB and debugging on your Fire TV device before you can connect to it:

Step B. Set Up Android Debug Bridge

Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a command-line utility for running and managing Android apps on your device or emulator. ADB is available when you install Android Studio, but Windows users will need to install a special USB driver.

Step C. Add Android Debug Bridge to Your Path

You need to add ADB to your PATH so you can more easily run adb commands. (Your PATH is an environment variable used to specify the location of the program's executable. If you don't add ADB to your PATH, running adb commands will require you to browse to the <Android SDK>/platform-tools directory to run ADB.)

Step D: Connect to a Fire TV device through ADB

You can connect to ADB either through the network or through USB. Most Fire TV devices only allow network connections, so this is the more common approach.

Next Steps

To install and run your app on a Amazon Fire TV device for testing, see Installing and Running Your App.
