Mostly it is used on actual Android device to manage either emulator. ADB is the Android development machine that is the basic requirement of the development. The client component of the ADB runs through the development machine. Also The ADB daemon runs as background process in the device itself. ADB is wonder tool for the Android users.
It is Terminal based interface to interact with the Android phone system. We setup the ADB for following reasons.
Let's have a look to see the procedure of installing the full process of setting ADB on Mac. Follow the instructions with screen shoots.
Before starting the download, create a new directory that you can easily find on your make. Always check the available latest versions before installing the Android SDK. For your Mac you will get the SDK package as zip format. Download the zip package and extracted the package.
You will see the folder like android-sdk-macosx. To execute the SDK manager, jus double click on the on the 'android'. Stay everything un-ticked. Firstly select the SDK Platform-tools and install it. That makes easy to install without any confusion. There are many possible ways that are available to install ADB and Fastboot but we have done our research and find out the two best possible methods that are easy and flexible.
The two methods are. If you are still facing issues, then do check the video tutorial below. You have now been able to install ADB on Windows system. Hope everything went normally without any issues. From now you have established a connection between your PC and device which let you do further customization in Android OS. In order to install both these tools on your Mac, you need to follow the below steps. Ubuntu users can skip the repository step and directly step on to the install command.
But for others, they have to follow it. These above commands allow you to send commands to your Android device or tablet from any terminal window. Google is allowing users to download the binaries without having to download the entirety of Android Studio. Users download several hundred megabytes worth of data if they simply wanted access to ADB and Fastboot.
You can download the latest ADB and Fastboot binaries from below links. These download links will remain static, but Google will periodically update the referenced file with the latest binaries as they go live. If multiple devices are running, you must specify the target device when you issue the adb command. To specify the target, use the devices command to get the serial number of the target.
Once you have the serial number, use the -s option with the adb commands to specify the serial number. In the following example, the list of attached devices is obtained, and then the serial number of one of the devices is used to install the helloWorld.
Note: If you issue a command without specifying a target device when multiple devices are available, adb generates an error. If you have multiple devices available, but only one is an emulator, use the -e option to send commands to the emulator.
Likewise, if there are multiple devices but only one hardware device attached, use the -d option to send commands to the hardware device. You can use adb to install an APK on an emulator or connected device with the install command:. You must use the -t option with the install command when you install a test APK. For more information, see -t. Instead, Android Studio handles the packaging and installation of the app for you. You can use the forward command to set up arbitrary port forwarding, which forwards requests on a specific host port to a different port on a device.
The following example sets up forwarding of host port to device port Use the pull and push commands to copy files to and from an device. Unlike the install command, which only copies an APK file to a specific location, the pull and push commands let you copy arbitrary directories and files to any location in a device. In some cases, you might need to terminate the adb server process and then restart it to resolve the problem e.
To stop the adb server, use the adb kill-server command. You can then restart the server by issuing any other adb command. You can issue adb commands from a command line on your development machine or from a script. The usage is:. If there's only one emulator running or only one device connected, the adb command is sent to that device by default.
You can use the shell command to issue device commands through adb, or to start an interactive shell. To issue a single command use the shell command like this:.
To start an interactive shell on a device use the shell command like this:. Note: With Android Platform-Tools 23 and higher, adb handles arguments the same way that the ssh 1 command does. But, this change means that the interpretation of any command that contains shell metacharacters has also changed. For example, the adb shell setprop foo 'a b' command is now an error because the single quotes ' are swallowed by the local shell, and the device sees adb shell setprop foo a b. To make the command work, quote twice, once for the local shell and once for the remote shell, the same as you do with ssh 1.
For example, adb shell setprop foo "'a b'". Android provides most of the usual Unix command-line tools. For a list of available tools, use the following command:. Help is available for most of the commands via the --help argument. Many of the shell commands are provided by toybox. General help applicable to all toybox commands is available via toybox --help. See also Logcat Command-Line Tool which is useful for monitoring the system log. Within an adb shell, you can issue commands with the activity manager am tool to perform various system actions, such as start an activity, force-stop a process, broadcast an intent, modify the device screen properties, and more.
While in a shell, the syntax is:. You can also issue an activity manager command directly from adb without entering a remote shell. See the Specification for intent arguments. Options are: -D : Enable debugging. Prior to each repeat, the top activity will be finished. This command kills only processes that are safe to kill and that will not impact the user experience.
Use with [-e perf true] to generate raw output for performance measurements. Required for test runners. Options are: -w : Wait for debugger when app starts. This command is helpful for testing your app across different screen sizes by mimicking a small screen resolution using a device with a large screen, and vice versa.
Example: am display-size x display-density dpi Override device display density. This command is helpful for testing your app across different screen densities on high-density screen environment using a low density screen, and vice versa.
Example: am display-density to-uri intent Print the given intent specification as a URI. Specification for intent arguments For activity manager commands that take an intent argument, you can specify the intent with the following options:. Within an adb shell, you can issue commands with the package manager pm tool to perform actions and queries on app packages installed on the device. You can also issue a package manager command directly from adb without entering a remote shell.
Options: -f : See their associated file. Options: -g : Organize by group.
