aadb (Appetizer Android Debug Bridge) is a Python Library that provides 101 Ways to Control an Android. It provides the following features across three major platforms (Linux, Windows and macOS):
- A superset of adb commands: shell, install, uninstall, reboot, etc; various convenience commands such as inputing text (enabled with a custom
adbclient) - Real-time multi-touchscreen control: tap, long click, drag, complicated gesture, multi-finger gesture (enabled by openstf/minitouch)
- Real-time screen capture: single screenshot and continuous high-FPS recording (enabled by openstf/minicap)
[incubating]On-screen view manipulation: view hierarchy and UI automation (enabled by uiautomator)
aadb requires adb from the Android SDK. You can download the full SDK or obtain a standalone adb executable. aadb only needs the adb server part of the adb executable and is compatible with the adb server from Google's python-adb and Facebook's fb-adb. aadb implements a custom adb client that is more stable and flexible than using the adb client part of the adb executable directly with subprocess. For a more technical understanding of the adb executable, client/server, protocol and derived versions, please check out our wiki.
