Android Debug Bridge (ADB) commands

Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

ADB, or Android Debug Bridge, is a command-line tool that facilitates communication between a computer and an Android device. It alolws software developers and technicians to perform a variety of tasks, such as debugging applications, transferring files, and executing shell commands. ADB is essential for testing and troubleshooting apps during development, allowing for a deeper interaction with the device's operating system. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between the device and the development environment, streamlining the process of app development and management.

Before using ADB, you need to put the Android device into debug mode.
