🔪Swiss-army knife for Android testing and development 🔪 ⛺
ADB-Enhanced is a Swiss army knife for Android testing and development.
A command-line interface to trigger various scenarios like screen rotation, battery saver mode, data saver mode, doze mode, and permission grant/revocation. It's a wrapper around adb
and not a replacement.
sudo pip3 install adb-enhanced
brew install adb-enhanced
sudo pip install adb-enhanced
works only for Python 3. Python 2 is no longer supported.adbe
might not be configured correctly in the path.sudo pip3 install infi.docopt-completion && docopt-completion $(which adbe)
after installing adb-enhanced.Turn doze mode on

Grant storage-related runtime permissions
adbe permissions grant com.example storage
Revoke storage-related runtime permissions
adbe permissions revoke com.example storage

ls/cat/rm any file without worrying about adding "run-as" or "su root"
adbe ls /data/data/com.example/databases
# Works as long as com.example is a debuggable package or shell has the root permission or directory has been made publicly accessible

A new build can be released using release/release.py
script.
Build a test release via make release_debug
.
Build a production release via make release_production
make documentation
Note that this happens automatically during make release_production
.
You will have to do brew install pandoc
if you are missing pandoc.
