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")

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")

Authentication

Dadb will use your adb key at ~/.android/adbkey by default.

If you need to specify a custom path to your adb key, use the optional keyPair argument:

val adbKeyPair = AdbKeyPair.create(privateKeyFile, publicKeyFile)
Dadb.create("localhost", 5555, adbKeyPair)
