Android Tools

The document discusses various Android development tools including ADB, the Android emulator, dumpsys, Git, top, meminfo, ps, Gerrit, the Android build system, and Make. ADB allows communication with Android devices via command line and facilitates app installation and debugging. The emulator simulates Android devices so apps can be tested across different devices and OS versions. Dumpsys provides system services information. Git and Gerrit are used for code version control and review. Top, meminfo and ps monitor system resources and processes. The build system and Make are used to build Android apps and operating system components.

ADB

• Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile command-line


tool

• that lets you communicate with a device.

• The adb command facilitates a variety of device actions,


such as installing and debugging apps, and it provides
access to a Unix shell that you can use to run a variety
of commands on a device
ADB

It is a client-server program that includes three components:

• A client, which sends commands. The client runs on your


development machine. You can invoke a client from a command-
line terminal by issuing an adb command.

• A daemon (adbd), which runs commands on a device. The


daemon runs as a background process on each device.

• A server, which manages communication between the client and


the daemon. The server runs as a background process on your
development machine.
Enable adb debugging on your device

• To use adb with a device connected over USB, you must enable USB debugging
in the device system settings, under Developer options. Reffer below link

• On Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default.
To make it visible, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven
times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options at the bottom.

• On some devices, the Developer options screen might be located or named


differently.

• You can now connect your device with USB. You can verify that your device is
connected by executing adb devices from the android_sdk/platform-tools/
directory. If connected, you'll see the device name listed as a "device."

meminfo
Gerrit
• Gerrit is a web-based code review system for projects that use Git

• Git
dumpsys
• dumpsys is a tool that runs on Android devices and provides
information about system services. You can call dumpsys from the
command line using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to get diagnostic
output for all system services running on a connected device.

•  command below provides system data for input components, such as


touchscreens or built-in keyboards
• adb shell dumpsys input
• adb shell dumpsys [-t timeout] [--help | -l | --skip services | service
[arguments] | -c | -h]
Android Emulator

• The Android Emulator simulates Android devices on your computer so


that you can test your application on a variety of devices and Android
API levels without needing to have each physical device.
