Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a console application that allows you to control a wide range of functions mobile devices, working on the basis operating system Android. The main purpose of ADB is to perform debugging operations with Android devices.

Android Debug Bridge is a program that works on the principle of " client-server" The first launch of ADB with any commands is necessarily accompanied by the creation of a server in the form of a system service called a “daemon”. This service will continuously “listen” on port 5037 waiting for a command to arrive.

Since the application is a console application, all functions are performed by entering commands with a specific syntax in command line Windows (cmd).

In the second option, when there is a device connected and ready for further operation, it is displayed in the console serial number (2).

Variety of possibilities

The list of features provided to the user by the Android Debug Bridge tool is quite wide. To access the full list of commands on the device, you will need to have superuser rights (root rights) and only after receiving them can we talk about unlocking the potential of ADB as a tool for debugging Android devices.

Separately, it is worth noting the presence in Android Debug Bridge of a peculiar help system. More precisely, this is a list of commands with a description of the syntax, output as a response to the command:

adb help

This solution very often helps many users remember a forgotten command to call a particular function or its correct spelling
