dadb
Blog Post: Our First Open-Source Project
A Kotlin/Java library to connect directly to an Android device without an adb binary or an ADB server
dependencies {
implementation("dev.mobile:dadb:<version>")
}
Example Usage
Connect to emulator-5554
and install apkFile
:
Dadb.create("localhost", 5555).use { dadb ->
dadb.install(apkFile)
}
Note: Connect to the odd adb daemon port (5555), not the even emulator console port (5554)
Discover a Device
Searches localhost
ports 5555
through 5683
for a valid adb device:
val dadb = Dadb.discover("localhost")
if (dadb == null) throw RuntimeException("No adb device found")
Connecting to a physical device
Connect over Wi-Fi - Android 11+ (Wi-Fi Pairing)
- Pair your device over wifi using the standard
adb pair HOST:PORT CODE
command (docs).- eg:
adb pair 10.0.0.192:45678 123456
- eg:
- Tell your device to listen for connections on tcp port 5555.
adb tcpip 5555
- Once your device is listening for connections on port 5555, dadb can connect to your device using your device's IP address (same as HOST above).
- eg:
Dadb.connect(10.0.0.192, 5555)
.
- eg:
Connect over Wi-Fi - Android 10 and below
- Tell your device to listen for connections on tcp port 5555 (docs):
- Connect your device via USB, then run
adb tcpip 5555
- Connect your device via USB, then run
- Find you device's IP address. (See: Step 6)
- Connect to your device's IP address using dadb:
- eg:
Dadb.connect(10.0.0.192, 5555)
- eg:
USB
Connections over USB are not currently supported.
Install / Uninstall APK
dadb.install(exampleApkFile)
dadb.uninstall("com.example.app")
Push / Pull Files
dadb.push(srcFile, "/data/local/tmp/dst.txt")
dadb.pull(dstFile, "/data/local/tmp/src.txt")
Execute Shell Command
val response = dadb.shell("echo hello")
assert(response.exitCode == 0)
assert(response.output == "hello\n")
TCP Forwarding
dadb.tcpForward(
hostPort = 7001,
targetPort = 7001
).use {
// localhost:7001 is now forwarded to device's 7001 port
// Do operations that depend on port forwarding
}
Authentication
Dadb will use your adb key at ~/.android/adbkey
by default. If none exists at this location, private and public keys will be generated by dadb.
If you need to specify a custom path to your adb key, use the optional keyPair
argument:
val adbKeyPair = AdbKeyPair.read(privateKeyFile, publicKeyFile)
Dadb.create("localhost", 5555, adbKeyPair)
