Android Device Mastery

This skill covers everything about interacting with Android devices via ADB and shell commands.

Device Connection

Check Connected Devices

adb devices -l

Output shows serial, status, and device info. Common statuses:

• device - Connected and authorized
• unauthorized - Accept USB debugging prompt on device
• offline - Connection issues, try adb kill-server && adb start-server

Wireless Debugging

Android 11+ (Recommended):

1. Enable Wireless debugging in Developer Options
2. Tap "Pair device with pairing code"
3. Run: adb pair <ip>:<pairing_port> and enter the code
4. Then: adb connect <ip>:<connection_port>

Legacy (requires USB first):

adb tcpip 5555
adb connect <device_ip>:5555

Multiple Devices

Always specify device with -s:

adb -s <serial> shell
adb -s emulator-5554 install app.apk

Shell Commands

Interactive Shell

adb shell                    # Enter shell
adb shell <command>          # Run single command
adb shell "cmd1 && cmd2"     # Chain commands

Essential Commands

# Device info
getprop ro.product.model              # Device model
getprop ro.build.version.release      # Android version
getprop ro.build.version.sdk          # SDK level

# File operations
ls -la /sdcard/
cat /path/to/file
cp /source /dest
rm /path/to/file

# Process info
ps -A | grep <name>
pidof <package_name>
top -n 1 -m 10

Safe Output Limiting

For commands with potentially large output:

adb shell "logcat -d | head -500"
adb shell "dumpsys activity | head -200"

App Management

Install/Uninstall

adb install app.apk                   # Basic install
adb install -r app.apk                # Replace existing
adb install -g app.apk                # Grant all permissions
adb install -r -g app.apk             # Both

adb uninstall com.example.app         # Full uninstall
adb uninstall -k com.example.app      # Keep data

Start/Stop Apps

# Start main activity
adb shell monkey -p com.example.app -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1

# Start specific activity
adb shell am start -n com.example.app/.MainActivity

# Start with intent extras
adb shell am start -n com.example.app/.Activity \
    -a android.intent.action.VIEW \
    -d "myapp://page/123" \
    --es "key" "value"

# Force stop
adb shell am force-stop com.example.app

# Clear app data
adb shell pm clear com.example.app

List Packages

adb shell pm list packages              # All packages
adb shell pm list packages -3           # Third-party only
adb shell pm list packages | grep term  # Filter

adb shell pm path com.example.app       # APK location
adb shell dumpsys package com.example.app  # Full package info

Permissions

adb shell pm grant com.example.app android.permission.CAMERA
adb shell pm revoke com.example.app android.permission.CAMERA
adb shell dumpsys package com.example.app | grep permission

File Operations

Push/Pull Files

adb push local_file.txt /sdcard/
adb pull /sdcard/remote_file.txt ./

# Recursive
adb push local_dir/ /sdcard/target/
adb pull /sdcard/dir/ ./local/

Access App Data (Debuggable Apps)

adb shell run-as com.example.app ls files/
adb shell run-as com.example.app cat shared_prefs/prefs.xml
adb shell run-as com.example.app sqlite3 databases/app.db ".tables"

UI Automation

Input Commands

# Tap at coordinates
adb shell input tap 500 800

# Swipe (x1 y1 x2 y2 [duration_ms])
adb shell input swipe 500 1500 500 500 300

# Text input (needs focused field)
adb shell input text "hello"

# Key events
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_HOME      # Home
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_BACK      # Back
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_ENTER     # Enter
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_POWER     # Power
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP # Volume up

Common Keycodes

Screenshots & Recording

# Screenshot
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png
adb pull /sdcard/screen.png

# One-liner (binary-safe)
adb exec-out screencap -p > screen.png

# Screen recording (max 3 min)
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/video.mp4
adb shell screenrecord --time-limit 10 /sdcard/video.mp4

UI Hierarchy

adb shell uiautomator dump /sdcard/ui.xml
adb pull /sdcard/ui.xml

Debugging & Logs

Logcat Essentials

# Dump and exit
adb logcat -d

# Last N lines
adb logcat -t 100

# Filter by tag:priority
adb logcat ActivityManager:I *:S

# Filter by package (get PID first)
adb logcat --pid=$(adb shell pidof -s com.example.app)

# Crash buffer
adb logcat -b crash

Priority levels: V(erbose), D(ebug), I(nfo), W(arn), E(rror), F(atal), S(ilent)

Common Debug Patterns

# Find crashes
adb logcat *:E | grep -E "(Exception|Error|FATAL)"

# Activity lifecycle
adb logcat ActivityManager:I ActivityTaskManager:I *:S

# Memory issues
adb logcat art:D dalvikvm:D *:S | grep -i "gc"

Memory Analysis

adb shell dumpsys meminfo com.example.app

Key metrics:

• PSS: Proportional memory use (compare apps with this)
• Private Dirty: Memory exclusive to process
• Heap: Java/Native heap usage

Crash Analysis

# ANR traces
adb shell cat /data/anr/traces.txt

# Tombstones (native crashes, needs root)
adb shell ls /data/tombstones/

# Recent crashes via logcat
adb logcat -b crash -d

System Inspection

dumpsys Services

adb shell dumpsys -l                    # List all services

# Common services
adb shell dumpsys activity              # Activities, processes
adb shell dumpsys package <pkg>         # Package details
adb shell dumpsys battery               # Battery status
adb shell dumpsys meminfo               # System memory
adb shell dumpsys cpuinfo               # CPU usage
adb shell dumpsys window displays       # Display info
adb shell dumpsys connectivity          # Network state

System Properties

adb shell getprop                       # All properties
adb shell getprop | grep <filter>       # Filter properties

# Useful properties
getprop ro.product.model                # Model
getprop ro.build.fingerprint            # Build fingerprint
getprop ro.serialno                     # Serial number
getprop sys.boot_completed              # Boot status (1 = done)

Settings

# Namespaces: system, secure, global
adb shell settings get global airplane_mode_on
adb shell settings put system screen_brightness 128
adb shell settings list global

Reboot Commands

adb reboot                   # Normal reboot
adb reboot recovery          # Recovery mode
adb reboot bootloader        # Fastboot mode
adb reboot sideload          # Sideload mode
adb reboot-bootloader        # Alias for bootloader

Troubleshooting

Device not found:

adb kill-server && adb start-server

Unauthorized:

• Check USB debugging is enabled
• Revoke USB debugging authorizations in Developer Options, reconnect

Multiple devices error:

• Use -s <serial> to specify device

Command not found (on device):

• Some commands require root or are version-specific
• Try /system/bin/<cmd> or check if command exists
