ADB Commands: List & Examples

ADB commands with syntax, examples, and risk notes. A practical Android debugging reference for developers, testers, and students. Read the command before you run it on a device.

ADB Command Library explains what each command does, how the options work, and when a command can change settings or data. It is a reference. It does not run ADB for you. Most commands still need a computer with Android SDK Platform Tools.

Browse ADB commands by task:

• ADB basics: help, version, and device selection

• Install, packages, and app management

• Push, pull, and file transfer

• Android shell, system info, and device properties

• Activity Manager (am) and Package Manager (pm)

• Logcat, diagnostics, and troubleshooting

• Screenshots, screen recording, and input

• Port forwarding, reverse forwarding, and network connections

• Permissions, AppOps, and settings

• Reboot and recovery references

Each entry is there so you can check syntax and examples before you type them on a real device. Behavior still depends on Android version, the manufacturer, and whether the device is authorized.

Use it with care. Back up data before commands that change settings or files. Confirm the selected device. Skip anything you do not understand. This is an independent guide, not an official Google or Android app.
