. A client, which runs on your development machine.
You can invoke a client from a shell by issuing an adb command. Other Android tools such as the ADT plugin and DDMS also create adb clients.
Mar 21, 2013 - Some of the commands are: echo — prints text to stdout. Set — sets shell variables export — makes shell variables available to command-line. Here’s how to do that: Install Android Terminal Emulator. Open the above. Tap the options menu icon. Tap Preferences. Scroll down to Shell. Tap Command line. Enter /system/xbin/su -c '/system/xbin/bash -' as shown below.
A server, which runs as a background process on your development machine. The server manages communication between the client and the adb daemon running on an emulator or device. A daemon, which runs as a background process on each emulator or device instance. Setting Up ADB On Windows and Linux If you installed the Android SDK, the Android Debug Bridge will already be installed along with it.
Otherwise, follow our guide on. On Mac If you have already downloaded the Android SDK, launch the SDK Manager by typing into a Terminal window: /tools/android where is the path to the tools directory.
For example, if the Android SDK is located on the desktop, then you have to type into the terminal window: /Users/MyName/Desktop/android-sdk-mac86/tools/android As soon as the SDK Manager is launched, click “Available packages”, then “Android Repository.” When the list of available packages pops up, choose the offered revision of “Android SDK Platform-tools”. Click “Install Selected.” If it is installed, the adb executable binary will be located in the platform-tools subdirectory. If you don’t have the Android SDK installed yet, download its latest version and unzip it into an appropriate destination folder then follow the instructions above. Testing If ADB Works We want to make sure that ADB is now working. First, see to it that your Android device is set up for debugging. On your Android device running Gingerbread, go to the Settings Applications Development screen and make sure “USB Debugging” is checked. If you’re already on Ice Cream Sandwich, go to Settings Developer options and tick “Android debugging” or “USB debugging.” Connect your computer and Android device with a USB cable.

Then, open a terminal on your computer and run the following command: adb devices You should see something like this: List of devices attached XXXXXXXXXXXX device A result like that (where the X’s represent your device’s actual serial number) confirms that your ADB is set up and working. Learning the Codes Now that ADB is already set up on your machine, you might want to know how to use its various flags and command options. Flags -d directs command to the only connected USB device; returns an error if more than one USB device is present.e directs command to the only running emulator; returns an error if more than one emulator is running.s directs command to the USB device or emulator with the given serial number. Overrides ANDROIDSERIAL environment variable.p simple product name like ‘sooner’, or a relative/absolute path to a product out directory like ‘out/target/product/sooner’. If -p is not specified, the ANDROIDPRODUCTOUT environment variable is used, which must be an absolute path.
