- Provides a menu if you forget to specify a device when multiple devices are attached.
- Provides the option to run the adb command on all attached devices
- Allows pushing multiple files at once.
- Easy assigning specific terminal sessions to a device
- Naming devices
Extended Android Debug Bridge
-a - directs eadb to listen on all interfaces for a connection
-d - directs command to the only connected USB device
returns an error if more than one USB device is present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is running.
-s - directs command to the device or emulator with the given
serial number or qualifier. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL
environment variable.
-p - simple product name like 'sooner', or
a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
-H - Name of eadb server host (default: localhost)
-P - Port of eadb server (default: 5037)
devices [-l] - list all connected devices
('-l' will also list device qualifiers)
connect [:] - connect to a device via TCP/IP
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.
disconnect [[:]] - disconnect from a TCP/IP device.
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.
Using this command with no additional arguments
will disconnect from all connected TCP/IP devices.
device commands:
eadb push [-p]
- copy file/dir to device
('-p' to display the transfer progress)
eadb pull [-p] [-a] []
- copy file/dir from device
('-p' to display the transfer progress)
('-a' means copy timestamp and mode)
eadb sync [ ] - copy host->device only if changed
(-l means list but don't copy)
(see 'adb help all')
eadb shell - run remote shell interactively
eadb shell - run remote shell command
eadb emu - run emulator console command
eadb logcat [ ] - View device log
eadb forward --list - list all forward socket connections.
the format is a list of lines with the following format:
" " " " "\n"
eadb forward - forward socket connections
forward specs are one of:
tcp:
localabstract:
localreserved:
localfilesystem:
dev:
jdwp: (remote only)
eadb forward --no-rebind
- same as 'adb forward ' but fails
if is already forwarded
eadb forward --remove - remove a specific forward socket connection
eadb forward --remove-all - remove all forward socket connections
eadb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
eadb install [-l] [-r] [-d] [-s] [--algo --key --iv ]
- push this package file to the device and install it
('-l' means forward-lock the app)
('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data)
('-d' means allow version code downgrade)
('-s' means install on SD card instead of internal storage)
('--algo', '--key', and '--iv' mean the file is encrypted already)
eadb uninstall [-k] - remove this app package from the device
('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)
eadb bugreport - return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.
eadb backup [-f ] [-apk|-noapk] [-obb|-noobb] [-shared|-noshared] [-all] [-system|-nosystem] [<packages...>]
- write an archive of the device's data to .
If no -f option is supplied then the data is written
to "backup.ab" in the current directory.
(-apk|-noapk enable/disable backup of the .apks themselves
in the archive; the default is noapk.)
(-obb|-noobb enable/disable backup of any installed apk expansion
(aka .obb) files associated with each application; the default
is noobb.)
(-shared|-noshared enable/disable backup of the device's
shared storage / SD card contents; the default is noshared.)
(-all means to back up all installed applications)
(-system|-nosystem toggles whether -all automatically includes
system applications; the default is to include system apps)
(<packages...> is the list of applications to be backed up. If
the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the package
list is optional. Applications explicitly given on the
command line will be included even if -nosystem would
ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)
eadb restore - restore device contents from the backup archive
eadb help - show this help message
eadb version - show version num
scripting:
eadb wait-for-device - block until device is online
eadb start-server - ensure that there is a server running
eadb kill-server - kill the server if it is running
eadb get-state - prints: offline | bootloader | device
eadb get-serialno - prints:
eadb get-devpath - prints:
eadb status-window - continuously print device status for a specified device
eadb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write
eadb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or recovery program
eadb reboot-bootloader - reboots the device into the bootloader
eadb root - restarts the eadbd daemon with root permissions
eadb usb - restarts the eadbd daemon listening on USB
eadb tcpip - restarts the eadbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port
networking:
eadb ppp [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
adb sync notes: eadb sync [ ]
can be interpreted in several ways:
-
If is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.
-
If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition is updated.
environmental variables: eadb_TRACE - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the following values 1 or all, eadb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp ANDROID_SERIAL - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority over this if given. ANDROID_LOG_TAGS - When used with the logcat option, only these debug tags are printed.
eadb specific commands: setdefault - Makes a device from the list the default device when running eadb. unsetdefault - Allows the prompt to show up if there are more than one devices. toggle-silent - Shows/hides the device sn/name when using a default device. show-default - Shows the current default device name - Stores a name for a device wait (mode) - Waits until a specific mode is detected clogcat - Runs a colorized logcat plogcat [package name] - Runs logcat on a specific package name install-mirroring - Installs chromecast mirroring support on rooted device slogcat (-p package_name) search terms screenshot - Grabs a screenshot start - Start either the default activity or a specified activity input-text - Enter text on the device input-key - Send a key or set of keys
To have eadb run every time you open a terminal, add it to your bashrc:echo ". /path/to/eadb.functions" >> ~/.bashrc
or
Source the file directly to add eadb to your current terminal
source /path/to/eadb.functions
