This article explains the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a command-line tool that allows developers to interact with an Android device or emulator from a computer
It is a part of the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) and is primarily used for debugging and testing applications.
ADB enables developers to perform a variety of tasks on an Android device, including:
- Installing and uninstalling applications
- Accessing the device shell
- Transferring files between the device and the computer
- Capturing device screenshots and videos
- Recording device logs
- Simulating various device behaviors
ADB can be accessed through a terminal or command prompt on a computer, and requires the device to be connected to the computer via USB or Wi-Fi. It is a powerful tool for Android development and testing, but should be used with caution as it provides extensive access to the device's system and data.
