Android Debugging Tools adb Command Introduction

What is the ADB?

The ADB's full name is Android Debug Bridge, which is the role of the debugging bridges.

Through the ADB we can debug the Android program through DDMS in Eclipse, which is the Debug tool.

The ADB works in a special way, allowing the IDE and QEMU to communicate by listening to ports such as socket TCP 5554, which by default will daemon the associated network port, so the ADB process runs automatically when we run eclipse.

What's the use of ADB?

With the ADB tools, we can manage the status of the device or phone simulator. You can also do a lot of phone operations, such as installing software, system upgrades, running shell commands, and so on.

In fact, the ADB is a bridge between the Android phone and the PC, which allows users to fully operate their phones on the computer, says Jane.
