Is it possible to connect mobile with USB camera and Macbook/Windows at a same time to debug the Android Application?

Issue

I want to create an Android application where I can process the Images from a USB Camera and run ML detections on them. I have Pixel 2XL, Logitech C920, and Macbook Pro, which I want to connect at the same time, so I can debug the application whenever it crashes/does not run. Right now, I am using ALogic type C dock, but it is not detecting the Mobile device for USB Debugging. Is there any way where we can debug the app?

Solution

well, I'm doing exactly the same and I'm using ADB over Wi-Fi for keeping my one and only USB-C available for wired UVC devices

short howto:

1. attach your device with USB-C cable, make sure it's one and only device (no emulators also)
2. optionally: check with adb devices is it visible
3. run adb tcpip 5555
4. disconnect device and check it's IP in some WiFi settings
5. run adb connect <DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS>:5555
6. optionally: ensure with adb devices is it visible

now you can see your device in Android Studio as long as laptop/PC and Android device are connected to the same Wi-Fi

good luck!
