Debugging Android program sometimes requires adb shell command, ADB full name Android Debug Bridge, is to play the role of the Debug bridge.
With ADB we can debug the Android program via DDMS in Eclipse, which is the Debug tool. ADB communicates with the IDE and QEMU by listening to ports such as socket TCP 5554.
By default, the ADB process runs automatically when we run eclipse. ADB is a C/S mode program consisting of three parts: a client,a server and a daemon.
Where client and server are running on the development machine, daemon runs on emulator or device.
ADB is typically located in the <sdk>/platform-tools/ directory, where <sdk> is the installation directory for the Android SDK. You can add the ADB path into the system environment variable path,
Example: D:\sdk\platform-tools, so that you can open PowerShell when you can respond to the ADB command, do not have to enter the ADB directory every time. The following are common ADB commands
The common Command Encyclopedia of ADB
1. Display all Android platforms in the system:
Android list targets
2. Display all AVD (simulator) in the system:
Android List AVD
3. Create an AVD (simulator):
Android Create AVD--name name--target platform number
4. Start the emulator:

5. Delete the AVD (simulator):
Android Delete AVD--name name
6. Create SDcard:
Mksdcard 1024M ~/name. img
7. AVD (simulator) Location:
Linux (~/.ANDROID/AVD) Windows (C:\Documents and SETTINGS\ADMINISTRATOR\.ANDROID\AVD)
8. Start Ddms:
Ddms
9. Displays all the emulators currently running:
ADB devices
10. Execute a command on a simulator:
Abd-s Simulator number Command
11. Install the application:
ADB install-r application. apk
12. Get the files in the emulator:
ADB pull <remote> <local>
13. Write the file to the emulator:
ADB push <local> <remote>
14. Enter the shell mode of the simulator:
ADB shell
15. Launch the SDK, documentation, instance download Manager:

ADB forward tcp:5555 tcp:8000
24. Copy files:
You can copy files to a device or from a device,
To copy a file or directory to a device or emulator:
ADB push <source> <destination></destination></source>
such as: adb push test.txt/tmp/test.txt
To copy a file or directory from a device or emulator:
ADB pull <source> <destination></destination></source>
such as: ADB pull/addroid/lib/libwebcore.so.
25, the Search simulator/device instance:
Gets a list of instances of the currently running emulator/device and the status of each instance:
ADB devices
26. Check the bug report:
ADB bugreport
27. Record the wireless communication log:
Generally speaking, the wireless communication log is very many, at run time not necessary to record, but we can still through the command, set the record:
