Using appium-adb

Support
1

I’m trying to access the adb commands in appium-adb, but I haven’t found any documentation on how to set it up. I’ve installed appium-adb using npm.

Does anyone have any examples of using these calls?

Have a look over the below link for Appium-adb documentation and its usage:

Thanks @Abdul_Sathar_Beigh. That is where I started, but I haven’t been able to extrapolate the steps necessary to pull in the code in Ruby from the code snippet.

same issue… any clue how to setup appium-adb. @willosser

I gave up and wrote my own adb interface. It prevents us from using the device farms, which is a shame, but the lack of documented adb support would have prevented us from using appium if we didn’t write our own interface. We have layered code which will allow us to start using appium’s adb interface should that ever be usefully available.

Thanks @willosser for reply. Can you give me brief idea how to write our own adb interface…??

you build a library that is a front end to “adb -s [shell] command”

It will take an investment of time to figure out all the commands you want, but it was worth it to our project.
