ADB stands for is Android Debugging Bridge is a command-oriented communication terminal between PC and Android-powered device or emulator instance. ADB is three step process combined service. So today I have come up to guide you about some selected ADB command and how those controls work on a device. There have many sites available containing ADB command and their usage, but I will try my best to show the simplest procedure to use some ADB command that every Android user should know with an available screenshot.
1. As it is a client server work module, the first component is a Client, Which runs on a development machine. By issuing ADB command to the shell of a device, you can invoke a device from the shell.
2. A Server is a running background process of development machine which manages communication between client and adb demon which running on Android device or emulator.
3. The demon is running background process of an Android device or emulator instance.
To use ADB, you need to enable USB Debugging on your phone. To Enable USB Debugging go to
Phone Settings=>Developer Option=> USB Debugging
(Note: Developer setting is by default hidden in Kitkat and above version of Android, To enable developer option to go to = Phone settings=>About Phone=Tap 7 Times on Build No=Now you have developer option enabled)
Now you have learned how to connect an android device or android emulator in USB debugging mode. The first step is to connect your device or emulator with PC using USB debugging mode.
