The Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a toolkit included in the Android SDK package, it is not only a powerful tool for Android developers and testers, but also a good toy for Android fans.
This repository renews continually, Pull Requests and Issues are welcomed. If you found this is useful, you can star it and conveniently back here to view when necessary.
Note: Some commands may depending on the version of Android system or ROM.

adb basic syntax of the command is as follows:
adb [-d|-e|-s <serialNumber>] <command>
If only one device / emulator connection, you can omit the [-d | -e | -s <serialNumber>]
this part, the direct use adb <command>
.
If you have more than one device / emulator connection, you need to specify the target device for the command.
Parameter | Meaning |
---|---|
-d | Specifies currently the only Android device USB connector as the command target |
-e | Specify currently the only goal for the command to run the simulator |
-s <SerialNumber> |
Specifies the device number corresponding serialNumber / simulator command target |
In the case of multiple devices / simulators are connected to the more common -s <serialNumber>
parameters, serialNumber can be obtained through adb devices
command. Such as:
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
cf264b8f device
emulator-5554 device
Output in the cf264b8f
and emulator-5554
is serialNumber. For example, this time I want to specify cf264b8f
this equipment to run the adb command to take a screen resolution:
adb -s cf264b8f shell wm size
Encountered multiple devices / simulators use the case of these parameters for the command to specify the target device, hereinafter to simplify the description will not be repeated.
Start adb server command:
adb start-server
(Generally no need to manually execute this command, when you run the command adb adb server if found does not start automatically from the transfer.)
Stop adb server command:
adb kill-server
command:
adb version
Sample output:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36
Revision 8f855a3d9b35-android
The operating principle is adb adb server daemon and the phone side PC side adbd establish a connection, then the PC side adb client via adb server forward command parsing after running adbd receive commands.
So if adbd ordinary rights to perform some require root privileges to execute the command can not be directly used adb xxx
execution. Then you can then execute the command adb shell
after su
, but also allows adbd root privileges to perform this high privilege can execute arbitrary commands.
command:
adb root
Normal output:
restarting adbd as root
Now run adb shell
, take a look at the command line prompt is not turned into a
#?
After some phone root can not let adbd by adb root
execute commands with root privileges, some models such as Samsung, will be prompted to adbd can not run as root in production builds
, then you can install adbd Insecure, then adb root
try.
Accordingly, if you want to restore adbd non-root privileges, you can use adb unroot
command.
command:
adb -P <port> start-server
The default port is 5037.
command:
adb devices
Example output:
List of devices attached
cf264b8f device
emulator-5554 device
Output format is [serialNumber] [state]
, serialNumber that is, we often say that the SN, state the following categories:
-
Offline
- indicates that the device is not connected to the success or unresponsive. -
Device
- device is connected. Note that this state does not identify the Android system has been fully activated and operational in the device during startup device instance can be connected to the adb, but after boot the system before it becomes operational. -
No device
- no device / emulator connection.
The output shows the current connected the two devices / simulators, cf264b8f
and emulator-5554
are they SN. As can be seen from the emulator-5554
name it is an Android emulator.
Common alarm output:
-
No device / emulator connection is successful.
List of devices attached
-
The device / emulator is not connected to adb or unresponsive.
List of devices attached cf264b8f offline
USB connection normal use adb by the need to ensure that:
-
Hardware status is normal.
Including Android devices in the normal power state, USB cable and interface intact.
Developer Options 2. Android devices and USB debugging mode is on.
You can go to the "Settings" - "Developer options" - "Android Debug" view.
If you can not find the developer options in the settings, it needs to make it through an egg is displayed: In the "Settings" - "About phone" continuous click "version number" 7 times.
-
The device driver is normal.
It seems to worry about the Linux and Mac OS X, the Windows likely to be encountered in the case of the need to install drivers, this can be confirmed right "Computer" - "Properties", the "Device Manager" in view on related equipment Is there a yellow exclamation point or question mark, if not explain the driving state has been good. Otherwise, you can download a mobile assistant class program to install the driver first.
-
Status after confirmation via USB cable connected computers and devices.
adb devices
If you can see
xxxxxx device
Description Connection successful.
In addition to the USB connection to the computer to use adb, can also be a wireless connection - although the connection process is also step using USB needs, but after a successful connection to your device can get rid of the limit of the USB cable within a certain range it !
Steps:
-
Connect Android device to run adb computer connected to the same local area network, such as connected to the same WiFi.
-
The device connected to the computer via a USB cable.
Make sure the connection is successful (you can run
adb devices
see if you can list the device). -
Allow the device listens on port 5555 TCP / IP connections:
adb tcpip 5555
-
Disconnect the USB connection.
-
Find the IP address of the device.
Generally the 'Settings' in - "About phone" - "state information" - "IP address" is found, you can also use the following in the View device information - IP address a Lane method adb command.
-
Connect the device via IP address.
adb connect <device-ip-address>
Here
<device-ip-address>
is the IP address of the device found in the previous step. -
Confirm the connection status.
adb devices
If you can see
<device-ip-address>:5555 device
Description Connection successful.
If you can not connect, verify that Android devices and the computer is connected to the same WiFi, then execute adb connect <device-ip-address>
that step again;
If that does not work, by adb kill-server
restart the adb and then try it all over again.
The wireless connection
command:
adb disconnect <device-ip-address>
Note: You need root privileges.
On a "wireless connection (need to use USB cable)" method is described in official documents, need the help of a USB cable to enable the wireless connection.
Since we want to achieve a wireless connection, it can all step down are wireless it? The answer is energy.
-
Install a terminal emulator on the Android device.
Equipment already installed you can skip this step. Terminal emulator download address I use is: Terminal Emulator for Android Downloads
-
To run the Android device and computer adb is connected to the same local area network, such as connected to the same WiFi.
-
Open a terminal emulator on your Android device, in which run the command sequence:
su setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
-
Find the IP address of the Android device.
Generally the 'Settings' in - "About phone" - "state information" - "IP address" is found, you can also use the following in the View device information - IP address a Lane method adb command.
-
Connect Android device on a computer via adb and IP addresses.
adb connect <device-ip-address>
Here
<device-ip-address>
is the IP address of the device found in the previous step.If you can see
connected to <device-ip-address>: 5555
such output indicates a successful connection.
-
Notice: * Some device may not working unless you restart adbd service, so you need to run command on the device's terminal as below
restart adbd
if
restart
is not working, try following command:stop adbd start adbd
Check the list of basic commands format
adb shell pm list packages [-f] [-d] [-e] [-s] [-3] [-i] [-u] [--user USER_ID] [FILTER]
That is the basis of adb shell pm list packages
can add some parameters on the filter to view different lists, supports filtering parameters are as follows:
Parameter | display list |
---|---|
No | all applications |
-f | Display apk file application association |
-d | Show only applications disabled |
-e | Show only enabled applications |
-s | Display only System |
-3 | Show only third-party application |
-i | Display applications installer |
-u | Contains uninstall applications |
<FILTER> |
package name contains <FILTER> strings |
command:
adb shell pm list packages
Example output:
package:com.android.smoketest
package:com.example.android.livecubes
package:com.android.providers.telephony
package:com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
package:com.android.providers.calendar
package:com.android.providers.media
package:com.android.protips
package:com.android.documentsui
package:com.android.gallery
package:com.android.externalstorage
...
// other packages here
...
command:
adb shell pm list packages -s
command:
adb shell pm list packages -3
For example, to view a list of package names that contain the string mazhuang
applications, order:
adb shell pm list packages mazhuang
Of course, you can also use grep to filter:
adb shell pm list packages | grep mazhuang
Format:
adb install [-lrtsdg] <path_to_apk>
parameter:
Adb install
may be followed by some optional parameters to control the behavior of the installation APK, available parameters and their meanings are as follows:
Parameter | Meaning |
---|---|
-l | Will be applied to protect the installation directory / mnt / asec |
-r | Allowed to cover the installation |
-t | Allowed to install application specified in AndroidManifest.xml android: testOnly =" true " Application |
-s | Install apps to sdcard |
-d | Downgrade coverage allows installation |
-g | Grant all runtime permissions |
After you run the command to see if similar to the following output (status is Success
) represents the installation was successful:
[100%] /data/local/tmp/1.apk
pkg: /data/local/tmp/1.apk
Success
The above is the output of adb current latest version v1.0.36, it will push apk file to display the progress of the percentage of mobile phones.
Using older versions of adb output is this:
12040 KB/s (22205609 bytes in 1.801s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/SogouInput_android_v8.3_sweb.apk
Success
If the status is Failure
said installation failure, such as:

Adb install
internal principle Introduction
Adb install
actually three steps:
-
push apk files to / data / local / tmp.
-
Call pm install installation.
-
Delete the corresponding apk file / data / local / tmp under.
Therefore, when necessary, according to this step, manually step through the installation process.
command:
adb uninstall [-k] <packagename>
<Packagename>
represents the application package name, -k
optional parameter indicates uninstall the application but keep the data and cache directories.
Command Example:
adb uninstall com.qihoo360.mobilesafe
Uninstall represents 360 mobile guards.
command:
adb shell pm clear <packagename>
<Packagename>
represents the name of the application package, the effect of this command is equivalent to the application information in the settings screen, click the "Clear Cache" and "Clear data."
Command Example:
adb shell pm clear com.qihoo360.mobilesafe
360 mobile guards to clear the data and cache.
command:
adb shell dumpsys activity activities | grep mFocusedActivity
Example output:
mFocusedActivity: ActivityRecord{8079d7e u0 com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet/com.android.launcher3.Launcher t42}
Where com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet / com.android.launcher3.Launcher
is currently in the foreground Activity.
command:
adb shell dumpsys activity services [<packagename>]
<packagename>
parameter is optional, command with <packagename>
will output services related with that packagename, and command without <packagename>
will output all services.
Complete packagename is unnecessary. For example, adb shell dumpsys activity services org.mazhuang
will output services related with org.mazhuang.demo1
, org.mazhuang.demo2
and org.mazhuang123
, etc.
The most used syntax for interacting with applications is :
am <command>
The common commands for <command>
are as follow:
Command | Use |
---|---|
start [options] <INTENT> |
Start an Activity specified by <INTENT> |
startservice [options] <INTENT> |
Start the Service specified by <INTENT> |
broadcast [options] <INTENT> |
Send a broadcast <INTENT> |
force-stop <packagename> |
Force stop everything associated with <packagename> |
The <INTENT>
is a flexible parameter which is corresponding to the Intent writing in the application.
The options for <INTENT>
are as follows:
Parameter | Meaning |
---|---|
-a <ACTION> |
Specify the intent action, such as android.intent.action.VIEW . You can declare this only once. |
-c <CATEGORY> |
Specify an intent category, such as android.intent.category.APP_CONTACTS |
-n <COMPONENT> |
Specify the component name with package name prefix to create an explicit intent, such as com.example.app/.ExampleActivity |
There are some options addting data for <INTENT>
, similar to extra
for Bundle:
Parameter | Meaning |
---|---|
--esn <EXTRA_KEY> |
null value (only key name) |
`-e | --es <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_STRING_VALUE>` |
--ez <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_BOOLEAN_VALUE> |
boolean value |
--ei <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_INT_VALUE> |
integer value |
--el <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_LONG_VALUE> |
long value |
--ef <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_FLOAT_VALUE> |
float value |
--eu <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_URI_VALUE> |
URI |
--ecn <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_COMPONENT_NAME_VALUE> |
component name |
--eia <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_INT_VALUE> [, <EXTRA_INT_VALUE ...] |
integer array |
--ela <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_LONG_VALUE> [, <EXTRA_LONG_VALUE ...] |
long array |
The syntax is:
adb shell am start [options] <INTENT>
For example:
adb shell am start -n com.tencent.mm/.ui.LauncherUI
The command above means starting the launch activity of WeChat.
adb shell am start -n org.mazhuang.boottimemeasure/.MainActivity --es "toast" "hello, world"
The command above means starting MainActivity of the application with the package name org.mazhuang.boottimemeasure
with an extra string information (key is 'toast' and value is 'hello, world').
The syntax is:
adb shell am startservice [options] <INTENT>
For example:
adb shell am startservice -n com.tencent.mm/.plugin.accountsync.model.AccountAuthenticatorService
The command above means starting a service from WeChat.
The syntax is:
adb shell am broadcast [options] <INTENT>
Broadcast intent can be sent to all components or a specified component.
For example, the command of issuing a broadcast intent with BOOT_COMPLETED
to all of the components is as following:
adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED
As another example of issuing a broadcast intent with BOOT_COMPLETED
only to org.mazhuang.boottimemeasure / .BootCompletedReceiver
is as following:
adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED -n org.mazhuang.boottimemeasure/.BootCompletedReceiver
The command of issuing a broadcast intent is very useful in the test, especially when a broatcast intent is hard to generate normally, it would be of great use to send the broadcast intent by the command.
Both system predefined and custom broadcast intent are able to be sent. The following is part of the system predefined broadcast intents and the triggers:
Action | Trigger |
---|---|
android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE | network connectivity changes |
android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON | screen on |
android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF | screen off |
android.intent.action.BATTERY_LOW | low battery, corresponding to the "Low battery warning" system dialog |
android.intent.action.BATTERY_OKAY | the battery is now okay after being low |
android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED | device boot finished |
android.intent.action.DEVICE_STORAGE_LOW | low memory condition on the device |
android.intent.action.DEVICE_STORAGE_OK | low memory condition on the device no longer exists |
android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED | a new application has been installed |
android.net.wifi.STATE_CHANGE | WiFi connection status changed |
android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED | Wi-Fi has been enabled, disabled, enabling, disabling, or unknown |
android.intent.action.BATTERY_CHANGED | battery level changed |
android.intent.action.INPUT_METHOD_CHANGED | system input method changed |
android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED | external power connected to the device |
android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED | external power removed from the device |
android.intent.action.DREAMING_STARTED | system starts dreaming |
android.intent.action.DREAMING_STOPPED | system stops dreaming |
android.intent.action.WALLPAPER_CHANGED | wallpaper changeed |
android.intent.action.HEADSET_PLUG | wired headset plugged in or unplugged |
android.intent.action.MEDIA_UNMOUNTED | external media is present, but not mounted at its mount point |
android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED | external media is present and mounted at its mount point |
android.os.action.POWER_SAVE_MODE_CHANGED | power-saving mode changed |
(Above broadcast intents are all available to be sent via adb commands)
The syntax is:
adb shell am force-stop <packagename>
For example:
adb shell am force-stop com.qihoo360.mobilesafe
The command above means stopping all processes and services related to the package name com.qihoo360.mobilesafe
.
command:
adb pull <remote> [local]
remote
: file path on devicelocal
: directory on computer
The local
parameter is optional, the default value is current directory.
For example:
adb pull /sdcard/sr.mp4 ~/tmp/
- Tips: The file from device may be not readable without root permission, you need to make sure your device is rooted and then use
adb shell
andsu
commands to gain the root permission in theadb shell
environment, after that you can usecp /path/on/device /sdcard/filename
to copy the target file from those directories which require root permission to a public directory, and finaly you can useadb pull /sdcard/filename /path/on/pc
normally as mentioned above after exiting theadb shell
environment.
command:
adb push <local> <remote>
local
: file path on computerremote
: directory on device
For example:
adb push ~/sr.mp4 /sdcard/
- Tips: The directory on device may be not writable without root permission, you need to make sure your device is rooted and then use
adb push /path/on/pc /sdcard/filename
firstly, and useadb shell
andsu
to gain the root permission in theadb shell
environment, and finaly usecp /sdcard/filename /path/on/device
to copy the file to the target directory.
In adb shell
there is a very useful command called input
, through which you can do some interesting things.
Complete help information input
command is as follows:
Usage: input [<source>] <command> [<arg>...]
The sources are:
mouse
keyboard
joystick
touchnavigation
touchpad
trackball
stylus
dpad
gesture
touchscreen
gamepad
The commands and default sources are:
text <string> (Default: touchscreen)
keyevent [--longpress] <key code number or name> ... (Default: keyboard)
tap <x> <y> (Default: touchscreen)
swipe <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2> [duration(ms)] (Default: touchscreen)
press (Default: trackball)
roll <dx> <dy> (Default: trackball)
Such as using adb shell input keyevent <keycode>
command, different keycode to achieve different functions, keycode complete list see KeyEvent, I think the interesting part of the quote is as follows:
Keycode | Meaning |
---|---|
3 | HOME button |
4 | return key |
5 | open dialing application |
6 | hang up |
24 | increase volume |
25 | Volume Down |

276 | If no wakelock allow the system to sleep |
Here are some examples of the use of input
command.
command:
adb shell input keyevent 26
Executive effect equivalent to pressing the power button.
command:
adb shell input keyevent 82
command:
adb shell input keyevent 3
command:
adb shell input keyevent 4
Increase the volume:
adb shell input keyevent 24
lower the volume:

Play the next song:
adb shell input keyevent 87
Played on one:
adb shell input keyevent 88
Resume playback:
adb shell input keyevent 126
Pause playback:
adb shell input keyevent 127
It can be switched on and off by telling off the screen above the analog power button, but if you want to light up or clear off the screen, then you can use the following method.
Light up the screen:
adb shell input keyevent 224
Off screen:
adb shell input keyevent 223
If no password lock screen is unlocked by sliding gestures, so you can input swipe
to unlock.
Command (parameter models Nexus 5, swipe up to unlock, for example):
adb shell input swipe 300 1000 300 500
3001000300 parameters represent
500` starting x coordinate of the start point y coordinate of the end point x coordinate y coordinate of the end point '.
When the focus is in a text box, you can enter text by input
command.
command:
adb shell input text hello
Hello
now appear in the text box.
Log Android system is divided into two parts, the underlying Linux kernel log output to / proc / kmsg, Android's log output to / dev / log.
Format:
[adb] logcat [<option>] ... [<filter-spec>] ...
Common usage are listed below:
Android log divided into the following levels:
- V - Verbose (lowest output most)
- D - Debug
- I - Info
- W - Warning
- E - Error
- F - Fatal
- S - Silent (highest, what is not output)
Press a grade level and above filter log is the log output.
For example, the command:
adb logcat *:W
Will Warning, Error, Fatal and Silent log output.
(Notice: tag *
must surrounded with double quotation, like adb logcat "*:W"
, otherwise an error no matches found *:W
would throws.)
filterspecs are a series of <tag>[:priority]
.
For example, the command:
adb logcat ActivityManager:I MyApp:D *:S
Represents an output tag ActivityManager
above the level of Info logs, Debug log output above the level of the tag MyApp
, and other tag Silent level of log (ie, shield other tag logging).
You can use adb logcat -v <format>
option specifies log output format.
Log supported by the following <format>
:
-
brief
The default format. The format is:
<priority>/<tag>(<pid>): <message>
Example:
D/HeadsetStateMachine( 1785): Disconnected process message: 10, size: 0
-
process
The format is:
<priority>(<pid>) <message>
Example:
D( 1785) Disconnected process message: 10, size: 0 (HeadsetStateMachine)
-

Are you getting bored for pressing "Setting" - "About phone" - "state information" - "IP address" to get the IP address of the device? You can make it easily via adb command:
Command:
adb shell ifconfig | grep Mask
Sample output:
inet addr:10.130.245.230 Mask:255.255.255.252
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
The IP address of the device is 10.130.245.230
.
The above command may result in an empty result on some devices if they are connected via WIFI, then you can use the following command to view the LAN IP:
adb shell ifconfig wlan0
Sample output:
wlan0: ip 10.129.160.99 mask 255.255.240.0 flags [up broadcast running multicast]
or
wlan0 Link encap:UNSPEC
inet addr:10.129.168.57 Bcast:10.129.175.255 Mask:255.255.240.0

Take screenshot and save to computer:
adb exec-out screencap -p > sc.png
If your adb is old version, doesn't have exec-out
command, then your can take screenshot like below:
First, take screenshot and save to device:
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/sc.png
And then export the png file to your computer:
adb pull /sdcard/sc.png
You can use the adb shell screencap -h
See help screencap
command, here are two significant parameters and their meanings:
Parameter | Meaning |
---|---|
-p | Save the file in png format specified |
-d Display-id | screenshots display the specified number (multiple screen display case next) |
Found If you specify a file name can be omitted when the -p parameter to .png
ending; otherwise you need to use the -p parameter. If you do not specify a file name, file contents screenshot will be directly output to stdout.
Another method to save screenshot file to computer with a single line command:
adb shell screencap -p | sed "s/\r$//" > sc.png
This depends on sed
command, it's avaliable in Linux and Mac OS X by default. In Windows, you may find it in bin directory in Git installation place. Otherwise, you may need to download sed for Windows and add the directory where sed.exe is to PATH environment variable.
Record screen are saved in mp4 format to / sdcard:
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/filename.mp4
When you need to stop press Ctrl-C </ kbd>, the default recording time and maximum recording time is 180 seconds.
If you need to export to your computer:
adb pull /sdcard/filename.mp4
You can use the adb shell screenrecord --help
See help screenrecord
command, the following are common parameters and their meanings:
Parameter | Meaning |
---|---|
--size WIDTHxHEIGHT | dimensions of the video, such as 1280x720 , default screen resolution. |
--bit-Rate RATE | bit-rate video, the default is 4Mbps. |
--time-Limit TIME | recording length, in seconds. |
--verbose | Print more information. |
