ADB shell command Details

ADB introduction

The SDK's Tools folder contains an important command of the Android emulator Operation ADB,ADB is all called (Android Debug Bridge is the role of debug bridges. With ADB we can debug Android programs via Ddms in Eclipse. With this tool, we can manage the status of the device or phone simulator. You can also do the following:

1. Quickly update the code in the device or phone simulator, such as app or Android system upgrade;
2. Run the shell command on the device;
3, management equipment or mobile phone simulator on the predetermined port;
4. Copy or paste files on the device or phone simulator;

ADB's work in an integrated development environment
ADB's way of working is a special use to listen to socket TCP 5554 and other ports to the IDE and QEMU communication, by default ADB will daemon the relevant network port, so when we run eclipse, the ADB process will run automatically.
1. The ADB can easily execute Linux shell commands, such as the adb Shell dir is the listing directory, the root directory in Linux/instead of Windows C, D disk.
2. Install the APK program to the emulator to execute the ADB install android123.apk, so that the installation package named Android123 will be installed in the Android emulator, provided that the android123.apk file needs to be placed in the sdk/ Tools directory.
3. Transfer files to emulator, use the ADB push android123.txt/tmp/android123.txt command to transfer the Android123.txt file under Sdk/tools to the/tmp/folder of the simulator, It is important to note that the contents of the/tmp/folder are emptied when the Android emulator restarts.
4. Returning files from the Android emulator to your computer
Through the ADB pull/tmp/android123.txt android123.txt command will be the emulator's TMP folder under the Android123.txt file back to the computer Sdk/tools directory.
