Yifei's Notes

adb is pretty unstable, it's meant for debug usage, NOT for a long-running service.

Install

install on ubuntu: apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

install on mac: brew install android-platform-tools

Connect model

there is a server on PC called adb server, if not started, will be started on first adb client call commands. there is an adbd daemon on phone, run as not root by default.

adb devices

list all devices, give serial number for usb, and ip:port for wifi devices as adb id. if only one device, all commands are issued to that device, if many, use adb -s ADB-ID command to select a device.
