Adb useful commands list

AdbCommands

Hi All!

I've recently launched a tool that wraps many of the commands here with a user interface. This desktop application is currently available for macOS. There's a roadmap outlining planned features for the near future.
Feel free to request any features you'd like to see, and I'll prioritize them accordingly.
One of the most important aspects of this application is that every command executed behind the scenes is displayed in a special log section. This allows you to see exactly what’s happening and learn from it.

Here's the link to the repository:  https://github.com/Pulimet/ADBugger

App Description:
ADBugger is a desktop tool designed for debugging and QA of Android devices and emulators. It simplifies testing, debugging, and performance analysis by offering device management, automated testing, log analysis, and remote control capabilities. This ensures smooth app performance across various setups.
 

=============================
adb help // List all comands

== Adb Server
adb kill-server
adb start-server 

== Adb Reboot
adb reboot
adb reboot recovery 
adb reboot-bootloader
adb root //restarts adb with root permissions

== Shell
adb shell    // Open or run commands in a terminal on the host Android device.

== Devices
adb usb
adb devices   //show devices attached
adb devices -l //devices (product/model)
adb connect ip_address_of_device

== Get device android version
adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release 

== LogCat
adb logcat
adb logcat -c // clear // The parameter -c will clear the current logs on the device.
adb logcat -d > [path_to_file] // Save the logcat output to a file on the local system.
adb bugreport > [path_to_file] // Will dump the whole device information like dumpstate, dumpsys and logcat output.

== Files
adb push [source] [destination]    // Copy files from your computer to your phone.
adb pull [device file location] [local file location] // Copy files from your phone to your computer.

== App install
adb -e install path/to/app.apk

-d                        - directs command to the only connected USB device...
-e                        - directs command to the only running emulator...
-s <serial number>        ...
-p <product name or path> ...
The flag you decide to use has to come before the actual adb command:

adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -IX adb -s X install -r com.myAppPackage // Install the given app on all connected devices.

== Uninstalling app from device
adb uninstall com.myAppPackage
adb uninstall <app .apk name>
adb uninstall -k <app .apk name> -> "Uninstall .apk withour deleting data"

adb shell pm uninstall com.example.MyApp
adb shell pm clear [package] // Deletes all data associated with a package.

adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -IX adb -s X uninstall com.myAppPackage //Uninstall the given app from all connected devices

== Update app
adb install -r yourApp.apk  //  -r means re-install the app and keep its data on the device.
adb install –k <.apk file path on computer> 

== Home button
adb shell am start -W -c android.intent.category.HOME -a android.intent.action.MAIN

== Activity Manager
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW
adb shell am broadcast -a 'my_action'

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.CALL -d tel:+972527300294 // Make a call

// Open send sms screen with phone number and the message:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.SENDTO -d sms:+972527300294   --es  sms_body "Test --ez exit_on_sent false

// Reset permissions
adb shell pm reset-permissions -p your.app.package 
adb shell pm grant [packageName] [ Permission]  // Grant a permission to an app. 
adb shell pm revoke [packageName] [ Permission]   // Revoke a permission from an app.


// Emulate device
adb shell wm size 2048x1536
adb shell wm density 288
// And reset to default
adb shell wm size reset
adb shell wm density reset

== Print text
adb shell input text 'Wow, it so cool feature'

== Screenshot
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screenshot.png

$ adb shell
shell@ $ screencap /sdcard/screen.png
shell@ $ exit
$ adb pull /sdcard/screen.png

---
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/NotAbleToLogin.mp4

$ adb shell
shell@ $ screenrecord --verbose /sdcard/demo.mp4
(press Control + C to stop)
shell@ $ exit
$ adb pull /sdcard/demo.mp4

== Key event
adb shell input keyevent 3 // Home btn
adb shell input keyevent 4 // Back btn
adb shell input keyevent 5 // Call
adb shell input keyevent 6 // End call
adb shell input keyevent 26  // Turn Android device ON and OFF. It will toggle device to on/off status.

=== Few bash snippets ===
@Source (https://jonfhancock.com/bash-your-way-to-better-android-development-1169bc3e0424)

=== Using tail -n
//Use tail to remove the first line. Actually two lines. The first one is just a newline. The second is “List of devices attached.”
$ adb devices | tail -n +2

=== Using cut -sf
// Cut the last word and any white space off the end of each line.
$ adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1

=== Using xargs -I
// Given the -I option, xargs will perform an action for each line of text that we feed into it.
// We can give the line a variable name to use in commands that xargs can execute.
$ adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1 | xargs -I X echo X aw yiss

=== Three options below together
// Will print android version of all connected devices
adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell getprop ro.build.version.release  

=== Using alias
-- Example 1 
alias tellMeMore=echo
tellMeMore "hi there"
Output => hi there
-- Example 2
// Define alias
alias apkinstall="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X install -r $1"
// And you can use it later 
apkinstall ~/Downloads/MyAppRelease.apk  // Install an apk on all devices
-- Example 3
alias rmapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X uninstall $1"
rmapp com.example.myapp // Uninstall a package from all devices
-- Example 4
alias clearapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell pm clear $1"
clearapp com.example.myapp  // Clear data on all devices (leave installed)
-- Example 5
alias startintent="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell am start $1"
startintent https://twitter.com/JonFHancock // Launch a deep link on all devices


Setting up your .bash_profile
Finally, to make this all reusable even after rebooting your computer (aliases only last through the current session), we have to add these to your .bash_profile. You might or might not already have a .bash_profile, so let’s make sure we append to it rather than overwriting it. Just open a terminal, and run the following command

touch .bash_profile && open .bash_profile

This will create it if it doesn’t already exist, and open it in a text editor either way. Now just copy and paste all of the aliases into it, save, and close.

alias startintent="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell am start $1"
alias apkinstall="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X install -r $1"
alias rmapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X uninstall $1"
alias clearapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell pm clear $1"

Can anyone suggest how to shutdown AndriodAuto using adb commands

Can anyone suggest how to shutdown AndriodAuto using adb commands

Please try:

adb shell am force-stop com.google.android.projection.gearhead

@wuseman
Can you please give command to restart AndriodAuto after shutdown
Thanks in Advance (:

@Khaja786431 Android Auto doesn't have a typical 'main' activity that can be started like a regular app. Android Auto is designed to be controlled via a compatible car's dashboard system or a phone docked in car mode.

How to start DHU from SDK tools instead

Enable Android Auto Developer and Debugging Settings:

• Tap the three-dot menu and select "Developer settings".
• Enable "Unknown sources" and "Start head unit server".

Forward the necessary port from your development machine to your Android device:

To forward the port required for DHU, use the following command in a command prompt or terminal:

adb forward tcp:<port> tcp:<port>

Replace <port> with the desired port number.

Launch the DHU on your machine:

1. Navigate to the directory where your Android SDK is installed.

2. Go to extras/google/auto/.

3. Look for an executable file named desktop-head-unit.

4. Launch the desktop-head-unit executable manually on your development machine.

PS: You can't launch the DHU through adb; it needs to be done manually on your computer.

However, you can launch settings and other features if that may help:

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.projection.gearhead/.companion.settings.DefaultSettingsActivity

I'm sorry that the command didn't work; it may be outdated. However, I have now reviewed this more carefully, and here you can see what's happening on recent Android 13 release, it's not allowed unless you are root but you might have some luck with a command I forgot I stored on my cheatsheet page:

Set car mode ON

adb shell cmd uimode car yes

Set car mode of OFF

adb shell cmd uimode car no

This command requires root:

adb shell su -c am broadcast -a android.app.action.EXIT_CAR_MODE

adb shell am broadcast -a android.app.action.ENTER_CAR_MODE \
-n com.google.android.projection.gearhead/com.google.android.apps.auto.carservice.service.impl.GearheadCarServiceCallbacks\$CarModeBroadcastReceiver

But with root above works, but try "uimode car yes" and "no" at least.

Is there a way to mock location using adb ?

Hello, i try to terminate all apps in task manager, how can i do it?

com.google.android.dialer}
com.google.android.dialer}
com.android.settings.FallbackHome}
com.android.chrome}
com.google.android.apps.photos}

it doesnt work, i have to terminate all the tasks from task maneger, how can i do it?

Hi,
Is there any adb command to turn on/off mobile data !?

Hi, Is there any adb command to turn on/off mobile data !?

Toggling mobile data typically requires system-level permissions that aren't accessible through ADB in recent versions (although svc data was available in the past, as one of several examples). However, there is still one way to achieve this via settings, specifically using settings/global (content can also be used for settings/global).

Here are the commands to perform this:

• To dump the current mobile data status (1=on, 0=off):

adb shell settings get global mobile_data

• To turn mobile data on:

adb shell settings put global mobile_data 1

• To turn mobile data off:

adb shell settings put global mobile_data 0

Note: These commands may not work on android versions that is released after this post.

Note
Im not a windows user, but I think the below works other wise do it manually. System applications or applications that is set to auto restart will not be able to force stop like this, but you can try

Get list of recent apps

$recentApps = adb shell dumpsys activity recents | Select-String "Recent #" | ForEach-Object { ($_ -match 'A=(\d+):([^ ]+)') | Out-Null; $Matches[2] }

Loop through each recent app to terminate it

foreach ($app in $recentApps) {
# Clean up package name
$packageName = $app -replace '[\{\}]', ''

# Force-stop the app
adb shell am force-stop $packageName
}

Is there a way to mock location using adb ?

Not by default - When the paclage/app is in debug mode, then yes. This is how you can send latitude/longitude coordinates and allow mock location

adb shell cmd appops set 0 androidmock_location allow
adb shell appops set <Your App's Package Name> android:mock_location allow
adb shell pm grant <Your App's Package Name> android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
adb shell pm grant <Your App's Package Name> android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
adb shell am broadcast -a com.android.intent.action.SET_MOCK_LOCATION --es lat "<Latitude>" --es lon "<Longitude>"

Is there a way to use adb command to enable "USB debugging (security settings)"?
I need to enable it in-order to control it with scrcpy.

Hi
Can I know is there any adb command to check dark mode set or not, or is there any way to set dark/light mode

Thanks in advance

Please how can I enable dsds in Infinix smart 7 plus using adb

Set UI Mode to Night Mode (Dark Theme) Permanently

adb shell cmd uimode night yes

Set UI Mode to Day Mode (Light Theme) Permanently

adb shell cmd uimode night no

Hi all,

I responde to myself, I didn't find any command but I got using the follow code to use in application Android/java;
As you can see you can set one by one or all together

AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE); //audioManager.setParameters("audio_devices_out_active=AUDIO_CODEC"); //audioManager.setParameters("audio_devices_out_active=AUDIO_HDMI"); //audioManager.setParameters("audio_devices_out_active=AUDIO_SPDIF"); audioManager.setParameters("audio_devices_out_active=AUDIO_HDMI,AUDIO_CODEC,AUDIO_SPDIF");

I tested this code in Android 7, exactly in Beelink GS1, it really is not Android TV, it's usually android versions used for tableds

Check your settings for hdmi.

audioManager.setParameters("audio_devices_out_active=AUDIO_HDMI"); | This line sets the active audio output device to HDMI.

I think you must go low level for succeed with this and it is really hard to know but if you are really a hardcode hacker and wanna go deep monitor /proc and /sys dirs when you changing output and you willl probably see wich file has been updated recently if you are quick.

Howevert, using setParameters() with custom string parameters is somewhat unconventional and may not be officially supported or documented by Android. This means the behavior could vary between devices or Android versions, and there is a risk that it might not work consistently across all Android TV devices.

You might can find something useful with:

echo "system\nglobal\nsecure" | xargs -n 1 settings list|grep audio 

Please notice to make the settings updated in realtime you should use content input or output for content insert --uri content://system/settings/... in adb for example

Thanks for help 😀, this level is so high for, anyway I got work in this device and I gave it to my brother, so I can't test on this device

is there any command to set current_user name ?
