Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31

 -a                            - directs adb to listen on all interfaces for a connection

 -d                            - directs command to the only connected USB device

                                 returns an error if more than one USB device is present.

 -e                            - directs command to the only running emulator.

   returns an error if more than one emulator is running.

 -s <specific device>          - directs command to the device or emulator with the given

                                 serial number or qualifier. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL

                                 environment variable.

 -p <product name or path>     - simple product name like 'sooner', or

                                 a relative/absolute path to a product

                                 out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.

                                 If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT

                                 environment variable is used, which must

                                 be an absolute path.

 -H                            - Name of adb server host (default: localhost)

 -P                            - Port of adb server (default: 5037)

 devices [-l]                  - list all connected devices

                                 ('-l' will also list device qualifiers)

 connect <host>[:<port>]       - connect to a device via TCP/IP

                                 Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.

 disconnect [<host>[:<port>]]  - disconnect from a TCP/IP device.

                                 Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.

                                 Using this command with no additional arguments

                                 will disconnect from all connected TCP/IP devices.

device commands:

  adb push <local> <remote>    - copy file/dir to device

  adb pull <remote> [<local>]  - copy file/dir from device

  adb sync [ <directory> ]     - copy host->device only if changed

                                 (-l means list but don't copy)

                                 (see 'adb help all')

  adb shell                    - run remote shell interactively

  adb shell <command>          - run remote shell command

  adb emu <command>            - run emulator console command

  adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] - View device log

  adb forward --list           - list all forward socket connections.

                                 the format is a list of lines with the following format:

                                    <serial> " " <local> " " <remote> "\n"

  adb forward <local> <remote> - forward socket connections

                                 forward specs are one of:

                                   tcp:<port>

                                   localabstract:<unix domain socket name>

                                   localreserved:<unix domain socket name>

                                   localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>

                                   dev:<character device name>

                                   jdwp:<process pid> (remote only)

  adb forward --no-rebind <local> <remote>

                               - same as 'adb forward <local> <remote>' but fails

                                 if <local> is already forwarded

  adb forward --remove <local> - remove a specific forward socket connection

  adb forward --remove-all     - remove all forward socket connections

  adb jdwp                     - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport

  adb install [-l] [-r] [-s] [--algo <algorithm name> --key <hex-encoded key> --iv <hex-encoded iv>] <file>

                               - push this package file to the device and install it

                                 ('-l' means forward-lock the app)

                                 ('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data)

                                 ('-s' means install on SD card instead of internal storage)

                                 ('--algo', '--key', and '--iv' mean the file is encrypted already)

  adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device

                                 ('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)

  adb bugreport                - return all information from the device

                                 that should be included in a bug report.

  adb backup [-f <file>] [-apk|-noapk] [-obb|-noobb] [-shared|-noshared] [-all]

[-system|-nosystem] [<packages...>]

                               - write an archive of the device's data to <file>.

                                 If no -f option is supplied then the data is written

                                 to "backup.ab" in the current directory.

                                 (-apk|-noapk enable/disable backup of the .apks 

                                 themselves in the archive; the default is noapk.)

                                 (-obb|-noobb enable/disable backup of any installed apk expansion

                                    (aka .obb) files associated with each application; the default is noobb.)

                                 (-shared|-noshared enable/disable backup of the device's

                                    shared storage / SD card contents; the default is noshared.)

                                 (-all means to back up all installed applications)

                                 (-system|-nosystem toggles whether -all automatically includes

                                    system applications; the default is to include system apps)

                                 (<packages...> is the list of applications to be backed up.  If

                                    the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the package

                                    list is optional.  Applications explicitly given on the

                                    command line will be included even if -nosystem would

                                    ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)

  adb help                     - show this help message

  adb usb                      - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB

  adb tcpip <port>             - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port networking:

  adb ppp <tty> [parameters]   - Run PPP over USB.

 Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.

 <tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1

 [parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns

adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]

  <localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:

  - If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.

  - If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition

    is updated.

environmental variables:

  ADB_TRACE                    - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the following values

                                 1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp

  ANDROID_SERIAL               - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority over this if given.

  ANDROID_LOG_TAGS             - When used with the logcat option, only these debug tags are printed.
