Android Test--adb command

The Adb (Android Debug Bridge) acts as a debug bridge.

With ADB, we can easily debug Android programs via Ddms in Eclipse. ADB uses ports such as the socket TCP 5554 to communicate with the IDE and QEMU, and by default ADB will daemon the associated network ports, so the ADB process will run automatically when we run eclipse.

ADB is a tool in the Android SDK that allows you to manipulate the Android emulator or real Android devices (such as G1 phones) directly. Its main functions are:

* Shell running the device (command line)

* Manage port mappings for emulators or devices

* Upload/download files between computer and device

* Install the local APK software to the simulator or Android 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.
