```sh adb [-d|-e|-s ] ``` If only one device / emulator connection, you can omit the `[-d | -e | -s ]` this part, the direct use `adb `. ### Targeting equipment for 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 ` | Specifies the device number corresponding serialNumber / simulator command target | In the case of multiple devices / simulators are connected to the more common `-s ` parameters, serialNumber can be obtained through `adb devices` command. Such as: ```sh $ 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: ```sh 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/Stop Start adb server command: ```sh 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: ```sh adb kill-server ``` ### View adb version command: ```sh adb version ``` Sample output: ```sh Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36 Revision 8f855a3d9b35-android ``` ### Run adbd as root 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: ```sh adb root ``` Normal output: ```sh 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. ### Designated adb server network port command: ```sh adb -P start-server ``` The default port is 5037. ## Device connection management ### Inquiries connected device / simulator command: ```sh adb devices ``` Example output: ```sh 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: 1. No device / emulator connection is successful. ```sh List of devices attached ``` 2. The device / emulator is not connected to adb or unresponsive. ```sh List of devices attached cf264b8f offline ``` ### USB connection USB connection normal use adb by the need to ensure that: 1. 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. 3. 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. 4. Status after confirmation via USB cable connected computers and devices. ```sh adb devices ``` If you can see ```sh xxxxxx device ``` Description Connection successful. ### Wireless connection (Android11+) [Doc in Android developers](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#connect-to-a-device-over-wi-fi-android-11+) Android 11 and higher support deploying and debugging your app wirelessly from your workstation using Android Debug Bridge (adb). For example, you can deploy your debuggable app to multiple remote devices without physically connecting your device via USB. This eliminates the need to deal with common USB connection issues, such as driver installation. To use wireless debugging, you need to pair your device to your workstation using a pairing code. Your workstation and device must be connected to the same wireless network. To connect to your device, follow these steps: 1. Update to the latest version of the [SDK Platform-Tools](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools). 2. Connect Android device to run adb computer connected to the same local area network, such as connected to the same WiFi. 3. Enable the **Wireless debugging** option. 4. On the dialog that asks **Allow wireless debugging on this network?**, click **Allow**. 5. Select **Pair device with pairing code**. Take note of the pairing code, IP address, and port number displayed on the device. 6. On your workstation, open a terminal and navigate to `android_sdk/platform-tools`. 7. Run `adb pair ipaddr:port`. Use the IP address and port number from step 5. 8. When prompted, enter the pairing code that you received in step 5. A message indicates that your device has been successfully paired. ```sh none Enter pairing code: xxxxxx Successfully paired to ... ``` 9. (For Linux or Microsoft Windows only) Run `adb connect ipaddr:port`. Use the IP address and port under **Wireless debugging**. ### Wireless connection (need to use the USB cable) 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: 1. Connect Android device to run adb computer connected to the same local area network, such as connected to the same WiFi. 2. 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). 3. Allow the device listens on port 5555 TCP / IP connections: ```sh adb tcpip 5555 ``` 4. Disconnect the USB connection. 5. 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][1] a Lane method adb command. 6. Connect the device via IP address. ```sh adb connect ``` Here `` is the IP address of the device found in the previous step. 7. Confirm the connection status. ```sh adb devices ``` If you can see ```sh :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 ` 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: ```sh adb disconnect ``` ### Wireless connection (without using the USB cable) **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. 1. 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](https://jackpal.github.io/Android-Terminal-Emulator/) 2. To run the Android device and computer adb is connected to the same local area network, such as connected to the same WiFi. 3. Open a terminal emulator on your Android device, in which run the command sequence: ```sh su setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555 ``` 4. 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][1] a Lane method adb command. 5. Connect Android device on a computer via adb and IP addresses. ```sh adb connect ``` Here `` is the IP address of the device found in the previous step. If you can see `connected to : 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 ```sh restart adbd ``` if `restart` is not working, try following command: ```sh stop adbd start adbd ``` ## Application Management ### Check the list of Check the list of basic commands format ```sh 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 | | `` | package name contains `` strings | #### All applications command: ```sh adb shell pm list packages ``` Example output: ```sh 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 ... ``` #### system applications command: ```sh adb shell pm list packages -s ``` #### third-party usage command: ```sh adb shell pm list packages -3 ``` #### Application package name contains a string For example, to view a list of package names that contain the string `mazhuang` applications, order: ```sh adb shell pm list packages mazhuang ``` Of course, you can also use grep to filter: ```sh adb shell pm list packages | grep mazhuang ``` ### Install APK Format: ```sh adb install [-lrtsdg] ``` 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 | | --abi abi-identifier | Force install an apk for a specific ABI, abi-identifier could be armeabi-v7a、arm64-v8a、v86、x86_64, etc. | After you run the command to see if similar to the following output (status is `Success`) represents the installation was successful: ```sh [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: ```sh 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: ```sh [100%] /data/local/tmp/map-20160831.apk pkg: /data/local/tmp/map-20160831.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS] ``` Common Installation failed output code, the meaning

[PackageManager.java](https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core%2Fjava%2Fandroid%2Fcontent%2Fpm%2FPackageManager.java) *`Adb install` internal principle Introduction* `Adb install` actually three steps: 1. push apk files to / data / local / tmp. 2. Call pm install installation. 3. Delete the corresponding apk file / data / local / tmp under. Therefore, when necessary, according to this step, manually step through the installation process. ### Uninstalling command: ```sh adb uninstall [-k] ``` `` represents the application package name, `-k` optional parameter indicates uninstall the application but keep the data and cache directories. Command Example: ```sh adb uninstall com.qihoo360.mobilesafe ``` Uninstall represents 360 mobile guards. ### Disable or enable apps List all apps enabled: ```sh adb shell pm list packages -e ``` #### Disable apps command: ```sh adb shell pm disable-user ``` Command Example: ```sh adb shell pm disable-user com.qihoo360.mobilesafe ``` #### Enable apps command: ```sh adb shell pm enable ``` Command Example: ```sh adb shell pm enable com.qihoo360.mobilesafe ``` ### Clear app cache data command: ```sh adb shell pm clear ``` `` 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: ```sh adb shell pm clear com.qihoo360.mobilesafe ``` 360 mobile guards to clear the data and cache. ### View Reception Activity command: ```sh adb shell dumpsys activity activities | grep mResumedActivity ``` Example output: ```sh mResumedActivity: 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. *The command above may not valid in Windows, you can try `adb shell dumpsys activity activities | findstr mResumedActivity` or `adb shell "dumpsys activity activities | grep mResumedActivity"`. ### View Running Services command: ```sh adb shell dumpsys activity services [] ``` `` parameter is optional, command with `` will output services related with that packagename, and command without `` 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. ### Query package detail information command: ```sh adb shell dumpsys package ``` There are many infos in output, include Activity Resolver Table, Registered ContentProviders, package name, userId, files/resources/codes path after install, version name and code, permissions info and their granted status, signing version, etc. `` is package name of an application. Example output: ```sh Activity Resolver Table: Non-Data Actions: android.intent.action.MAIN: 5b4cba8 org.mazhuang.guanggoo/.SplashActivity filter 5ec9dcc Action: "android.intent.action.MAIN" Category: "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" AutoVerify=false Registered ContentProviders: org.mazhuang.guanggoo/com.tencent.bugly.beta.utils.BuglyFileProvider: Provider{7a3c394 org.mazhuang.guanggoo/com.tencent.bugly.beta.utils.BuglyFileProvider} ContentProvider Authorities: [org.mazhuang.guanggoo.fileProvider]: Provider{7a3c394 org.mazhuang.guanggoo/com.tencent.bugly.beta.utils.BuglyFileProvider} applicationInfo=ApplicationInfo{7754242 org.mazhuang.guanggoo} Key Set Manager: [org.mazhuang.guanggoo] Signing KeySets: 501 Packages: Package [org.mazhuang.guanggoo] (c1d7f): userId=10394 pkg=Package{55f714c org.mazhuang.guanggoo} codePath=/data/app/org.mazhuang.guanggoo-2 resourcePath=/data/app/org.mazhuang.guanggoo-2 legacyNativeLibraryDir=/data/app/org.mazhuang.guanggoo-2/lib primaryCpuAbi=null secondaryCpuAbi=null versionCode=74 minSdk=15 targetSdk=25 versionName=1.1.74 splits=[base] apkSigningVersion=2 applicationInfo=ApplicationInfo{7754242 org.mazhuang.guanggoo} flags=[ HAS_CODE ALLOW_CLEAR_USER_DATA ALLOW_BACKUP ] privateFlags=[ RESIZEABLE_ACTIVITIES ] dataDir=/data/user/0/org.mazhuang.guanggoo supportsScreens=[small, medium, large, xlarge, resizeable, anyDensity] timeStamp=2017-10-22 23:50:53 firstInstallTime=2017-10-22 23:50:25 lastUpdateTime=2017-10-22 23:50:55 installerPackageName=com.miui.packageinstaller signatures=PackageSignatures{af09595 [53c7caa2]} installPermissionsFixed=true installStatus=1 pkgFlags=[ HAS_CODE ALLOW_CLEAR_USER_DATA ALLOW_BACKUP ] requested permissions: android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE android.permission.INTERNET android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE android.permission.READ_LOGS android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE install permissions: android.permission.INTERNET: granted=true android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: granted=true android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: granted=true User 0: ceDataInode=1155675 installed=true hidden=false suspended=false stopped=true notLaunched=false enabled=0 gids=[3003] runtime permissions: android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: granted=true android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE: granted=true android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: granted=true User 999: ceDataInode=0 installed=false hidden=false suspended=false stopped=true notLaunched=true enabled=0 gids=[3003] runtime permissions: Dexopt state: [org.mazhuang.guanggoo] Instruction Set: arm64 path: /data/app/org.mazhuang.guanggoo-2/base.apk status: /data/app/org.mazhuang.guanggoo-2/oat/arm64/base.odex [compilation_filter=speed-profile, status=kOatUpToDa te] ``` ### Query application installation path command: ``` adb shell pm path ``` Output shows application installation path. Example output: ``` adb shell pm path ecarx.weather package:/data/app/ecarx.weather-1.apk ``` ## Interact with Applications The most used syntax for interacting with applications is : ```sh am ``` The common commands for `` are as follow: | Command | Use | |-----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | `start [options] ` | Start an Activity specified by `` | | `startservice [options] ` | Start the Service specified by `` | | `broadcast [options] ` | Send a broadcast `` | | `force-stop ` | Force stop everything associated with ``| The `` is a flexible parameter which is corresponding to the Intent writing in the application. The options for `` are as follows: | Parameter | Meaning | |------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `-a ` | Specify the intent action, such as `android.intent.action.VIEW`. You can declare this only once. | | `-c ` | Specify an intent category, such as `android.intent.category.APP_CONTACTS` | | `-n ` | 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 ``, similar to `extra` for Bundle: | Parameter | Meaning | |------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| | `--esn ` | null value (only key name) | | `-e|--es ` | string value | | `--ez ` | boolean value | | `--ei ` | integer value | | `--el ` | long value | | `--ef ` | float value | | `--eu ` | URI | | `--ecn ` | component name | | `--eia [, [, start with Activity's name The syntax is: ```sh adb shell am start [options] ``` For example: ```sh adb shell am start -n com.tencent.mm/.ui.LauncherUI ``` The command above means starting the launch activity of WeChat. ```sh 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'). > start without Activity's name The syntax is: ```sh adb shell monkey -p -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1 ``` For example: ```sh adb shell monkey -p com.tencent.mm -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1 ``` The command above means starting the launch activity of WeChat. ### Start a Service The syntax is: ```sh adb shell am startservice [options] ``` For example: ```sh adb shell am startservice -n com.tencent.mm/.plugin.accountsync.model.AccountAuthenticatorService ``` The command above means starting a service from WeChat. Another typical useage is that if devices has bottom virtual keys but not show, you can try this: ```sh adb shell am startservice -n com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService ``` ### Stop service The syntax is: ```sh adb shell am stopservice [options] ``` ### Send a broadcast The syntax is: ```sh adb shell am broadcast [options] ``` 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: ```sh 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: ```sh 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)* ### Force stop an application The syntax is: ```sh adb shell am force-stop ``` For example: ```sh 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`. ### Trim memory command: ```sh adb shell am send-trim-memory ``` pid: process id level: HIDDEN、RUNNING_MODERATE、BACKGROUND、RUNNING_LOW、MODERATE、RUNNING_CRITICAL、COMPLETE For example: ```sh adb shell am send-trim-memory 12345 RUNNING_LOW ``` means send command to process 12345, notify it to set level to RUNNING. ## File Management ### Copy files from a device to a computer command: ```sh adb pull [local] ``` > - `remote`: file path on device > - `local`: directory on computer The `local` parameter is optional, the default value is current directory. For example: ```sh 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` and `su` commands to gain the root permission in the `adb shell` environment, after that you can use `cp /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 use `adb pull /sdcard/filename /path/on/pc` normally as mentioned above after exiting the `adb shell` environment. ### Copy files from a computer to a device command: ```sh adb push ``` > - `local`: file path on computer > - `remote`: directory on device For example: ```sh 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 use `adb shell` and `su` to gain the root permission in the `adb shell` environment, and finaly use `cp /sdcard/filename /path/on/device` to copy the file to the target directory. ## Analog Keys / inputs 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: ```sh Usage: input [] [...] The sources are: mouse keyboard joystick touchnavigation touchpad trackball stylus dpad gesture touchscreen gamepad The commands and default sources are: text (Default: touchscreen) keyevent [--longpress] ... (Default: keyboard) tap (Default: touchscreen) swipe [duration(ms)] (Default: touchscreen) press (Default: trackball) roll (Default: trackball) ``` Such as using `adb shell input keyevent ` command, different keycode to achieve different functions, keycode complete list see [KeyEvent](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html), 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 | | 26 | Power button | | 27 | taking pictures (in the camera application needs in) | | 64 | Open Browser | | 82 | menu button | | 85 | Play / Pause | | 86 | stop playing | | 87 | play the next | | 88 | played on a | | 122 | Move the cursor to the beginning or top of the list | | 123 | Move the cursor to the end of the line or bottom of the list | | 126 | resume playing | | 127 | pause play | | 164 | Mute | | 176 | Open the System Setup | | 187 | switching applications | | 207 | Open Contacts | | 208 | Open calendar | | 209 | Open Music | | 210 | Open Calculator | | 220 | Decrease screen brightness | | 221 | Increase screen brightness | | 223 | System Sleep | | 224 | light up the screen | | 231 | Open the voice assistant | | 276 | If no wakelock allow the system to sleep | Here are some examples of the use of `input` command. ### Power button command: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 26 ``` Executive effect equivalent to pressing the power button. ### menu command: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 82 ``` ### HOME key command: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 3 ``` ### return key command: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 4 ``` ### volume control Increase the volume: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 24 ``` lower the volume: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 25 ``` Mute: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 164 ``` ### Media Control play / Pause: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 85 ``` Stop play: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 86 ``` Play the next song: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 87 ``` Played on one: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 88 ``` Resume playback: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 126 ``` Pause playback: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 127 ``` ### On / Off screen 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: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 224 ``` Off screen: ```sh adb shell input keyevent 223 ``` ### Slide to unlock 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): ```sh 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 '. ### Enter text When the focus is in a text box, you can enter text by `input` command. command: ```sh adb shell input text hello ``` `hello` now appear in the text box. If you want to input Chinese, you can install [ADBKeyBoard.apk](https://github.com/senzhk/ADBKeyBoard), detailed documentation refer to [here](https://github.com/senzhk/ADBKeyBoard). Then execute the commands: ```sh # 1. Set the current input method to ADBKeyBoard adb shell ime set com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME # 2. Input Chinese adb shell am broadcast -a ADB_INPUT_TEXT --es msg '你好' ``` ## View Log Log Android system is divided into two parts, the underlying Linux kernel log output to / proc / kmsg, Android's log output to / dev / log. ### Android log Format: ```sh [adb] logcat [
