Hi !  
I found this Appium’s adb wrapper :  
[https://www.npmjs.com/package/appium-adb](https://www.npmjs.com/package/appium-adb)

but i don’t know how can I use it. Currently when I want execute adb command I do something like this:

> final Process exec = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(“adb shell ls”);
> 
> final BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(exec.getInputStream()));

> ```
> String s;
> while((s = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
> System.out.println(s);
> }
> 
> ```

Are there any other way to execute adb commands from java client on appium ?
