(21) Use of the Android Development and debugging tool ADB

First, the main functions of the ADB

ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a tool in the Android SDK that uses ADB to directly manipulate the Android emulator or the real andriod device. ADB is a client-server program where the client is the computer you use to operate, and the server side is the Android device.
The main functions of ADB are:
1. Run the shell on an Android device (command line)
2. Port mapping for Management simulator or device
3. Upload/download files between the computer and the device
4. Install the local APK software on your computer to your Android emulator or device

Second, ADB set environment variables

If you have installed the Android SDK then you can find it in your SDK directory. \android\sdk\platform-tools This directory, the ADB tool is placed here.

Set environment variables: Copy the path of this directory, we need to set this path to path in the system settings of Windows, after Setup is complete. To start the simulator or connect the real machine with USB, we can then use the ADB in the cmd window.
