adb-enhanced 1.7.4

An ADB wrapper for Android developers

adb-enhanced

Swiss-army knife for android testing and development, inspired from android-scripts

Release announcement

See https://ashishb.net/tech/introducing-adb-enhanced-a-swiss-army-knife-for-android-development/

Installation

sudo pip3 install adb-enhanced

Note

1. sudo pip install adb-enhanced for python2 based install works as well but I would recommend moving to python3 since I might deprecate python2 support at some point.
2. If you don't have sudo access or you are installing without sudo then the tool will still be installed but adbe might not be configured correctly in the path.

Examples

• Turn doze mode on

adbe doze on

• Turn mobile-data off

adbe mobile-data off

• Turn on battery saver

adbe battery saver on

• Don't keep activities in the background

adbe dont-keep-activities on

• Grant storage-related runtime permissions

adbe permissions grant com.example.android storage

• Revoke storage-related runtime permissions

adbe permissions revoke com.example.android storage

• ls/cat any file without worrying about adding "run-as"

adbe ls /data/data/com.example/databases # Works as long as com.example is a debuggable package

• Launch an app adbe start com.example
