Scan connected ethernet network for WiFi devices #1

Good day.

I've checked and found out about your app, but it seems to scan only WiFi networks (and if the device running is connected to any), but my device is a desktop connected over ethernet to the same router on which my Android is connected (with wireless ADB enabled).

Program doesn't seem to allow such usage, but manual connection works fine:

PS C:\Users\Xeon\Desktop> aow
- Error: No device is connected

Hint: If devices are connected but not visible then check your USB cable & see if USB Debugging option is enabled.
PS C:\Users\Xeon\Desktop> adb connect 192.168.31.25:42565
connected to 192.168.31.25:42565

Could it be possible to add such function? Thanks!

The tool internally uses Android Debug Bridge for finding active connections over TCP network. If your device is not listed by typing adb devices, the tool will not able to find the correct IP address of the device in order to proceed further.

This is the same reason why Android 11 devices & Android TV should not need this tool because they already have "Wireless Debugging" feature baked in.

If you can list your device by typing adb devices with your current setup then no doubt ping me & we will work on a solution otherwise there is nothing I can't do. You can also suggest a solution like IP lookup through your router but the process will not be trivial as it would cause a major security issue.
