WSA support #17

Closed Abdu11ahAS closed 1 year ago

Adding support for "Windows subsystem for android" in ADBFileExplorer.

We all know that transferring files to Windows subsystem for android is a hassle. There is already a script which pushes files to WSA using adb: EasySideload-WSA It works but it isn't as near as ADBFileExplorer, you can't browse WSA files or even pull them and it doesn't have a GUI, I think it may be useful to get an idea for how to add WSA support in ADBFileExplorer. So adding support for WSA in ADBFileExplorer would be very useful. Thanks.

I have just discovered that it's already possible

Thanks very much for the incredibly amazing app. If someone needs to know how

Here are the steps:

  1. Open WSA settings.
  2. Click on "Files" launch icon to run WSA and minimize files window, if WSA is already running you can skip this step.
  3. Go to "Developer" section and turn developer mode on.
  4. In the description of "developer mode" option you'll notice an IP number appear, you need this IP.
  5. Open ADBFileExplorer, and click on "File" in the up-left corner, the choose "Connect".
  6. Lastly, type the IP that I mentioned earlier in the "Connect device" pop up, and click "OK".

That's it, I hope you found it useful.
