Adb via network without previous USB connection

I have android 4.2.2 which requires the ADB connection to match an approved fingerprint.

The problem is that the device must be paired using a USB cable for the first time, which in my situation will be a problem.

My development environment runs on VirtualBox, and I previously gave up trying to get USB to work, and instead used ADB over the network.

The Android SDK is the latest version of 1601.

Is there a way to manually add a key from a virtual machine to my device?

I have a working Android SDK for my host and root access to my device, if this can be fixed.

This solution requires root on the device.

On the development machine, copy one line from $HOME/.android/adbkey.pub .

And add it to /data/misc/adb/adb_keys on your Android device. adb_keys contain one key per line, so if you have already paired any other machines, they will be displayed here.

Reboot the device.
