    The document discusses the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) command line tool. It can be used to issue commands to an Android emulator or device from a development machine or script. The adb command supports options to specify the target device when multiple are present. The document then lists and describes all supported adb commands, including general commands for listing devices, getting help/version, and running commands as an app; networking commands for connecting, disconnecting, and forwarding ports; and reverse port forwarding.

    Android Debug Bridge

    ADB Command

    You can issue adb commands from a command line on your development machine
    or from a script.
    adb [-d | -e | -s serial_number] command

    If there\'s only one emulator running or only one device connected, the adb
    command is sent to that device by default. If multiple emulators are running and/or
    multiple devices are attached, you need to use the -d, -e, or -s option to specify the
    target device to which the command should be directed.

    The table below lists all of the supported adb commands and explains their meaning
    and usage.

    Global options
    Listen on all network interfaces instead of only on  localhost .
    adb -a

    Direct an adb command to the only attached USB device. Returns an error when
    more than one USB device is attached.
    adb -d

    Direct an adb command to the only running emulator. Returns an error when more
    than one emulator is running.
    adb -e
    Direct an adb command to a specific device, referred to by its adb-assigned serial
    number (such as emulator-5556). Overrides the serial number value stored in
    the  $ANDROID_SERIAL  environment variable.
    adb -s serial_number
    The name of the adb server host. The default value is  localhost .
    adb -H server
    The adb server port number. The default value is  5037 .
    adb -P port
    Listen on the provided adb server socket. The default value is  tcp:localhost:5037 .
    adb -L socket

    General commands
    Print a list of all devices. Use the  -l  option to include the device descriptions.
    adb devices [-l]

    Print a list of supported adb commands and their descriptions.


    adb help

    Print the adb version number.


    adb version

    Run commands on a device as an app (specified using package_name). This lets


    you run commands in adb as if the app you specify is running the command (that is,
    you have the same device access that the app has), without requiring root access.
    This might be necessary when using adb on a non-rooted device or an emulator with
    a Play Store image. The app must be debuggable.
    adb run-as package_name

    Networking commands
    Connect to a device over TCP/IP. If you do not specify a port, then the default
    port,  5555 , is used.
    adb connect host[:port]
    Disconnect from the specified TCP/IP device running on the specified port. If you do
    not specify a host or a port, then all devices are disconnected from all TCP/IP ports.
    If you specify a host, but not a port, the default port,  5555 , is used.
    adb disconnect [host | host:port]

    List all forwarded socket connections.


    adb forward --list

    Forward socket connections from the specified local port to the specified remote port
    on the device. You can specify both local and remote ports in the following ways:
     tcp:port . To choose any open port, make the local value  tcp:0 .
     localabstract:unix_domain_socket_name .
     localreserved:unix_domain_socket_name .
     localfilesystem:unix_domain_socket_name .
     dev:character_device_name .
     jdwp:pid .
    adb forward [--no-rebind] local remote

    Remove the specified forwarded socket connection.


    adb forward --remove local

    List all reverse socket connections from the device.


    adb reverse --list
    Reverse a socket connection. The  --no-rebind  option means the reversal fails if the
    specified socket is already bound through a previous  reverse  command. You can
    specify the port for both local and remote arguments in the following ways:
     tcp:port . To choose any open port, make the remote value  tcp:0 .
     localabstract:unix_domain_socket_name .
     localreserved:unix_domain_socket_name .
     localfilesystem:unix_domain_socket_name .
    adb reverse [--no-rebind] remote local

    Remove the specified reverse socket connection from the device.


    adb reverse --remove remote

    Remove all reverse socket connections from the device.


    adb reverse --remove-all
