We can use the adb shell monkey -p -v -s. Monkey testing is a technique in software testing where a user tests the application or a system by proving random inputs (type text, clicks, pressing hardware button, etc) and checking for the application behaviour, or by seeing if the application will crash.ĪDB has a possibility for such type of testing. You can find the keys of hardware buttons here. We can emulate pressing the hardware buttons with adb shell input keyevent command. # all spaces should be replaced with "%s"Īdb shell input text "insert%syour%stext" We can enter any text to the selected input field by adb shell input text "" command. This can be a real life case that can be used when you don't have access to resources with such code on the device.
Sometimes you can have a situation when you need to enter specific text during the manual verification of the application, like a voucher code for example. However, I will share a few commands that will give you benefits in some particular scenarios when testing Android applications. You can find the description of commands here. The ADB supports many commands which allow us to interact with Android devices or emulators. To fix this issue you will need to connect the device via USB and execute the following command: adb tcpip 5555 If you cannot connect to the device by it's IP address, this is most probably due to your device not being able to listen for a TCP/IP connection on 5555 port. Note: The adb connect and adb disconnect use a default port: 5555. # Disconnect from the device by it's IP address # Connect to the device by its IP address with specific port # Connect to the device by its IP address Let's imaging that the IP address is the following: 192.168.1.42. We can find the current ip address by going into the "Settings > About device > Status" screen on Android device. To connect an Android device via Wi-Fi we need to use the adb connect command.
We can interact with any device or emulator when connected via USB or Wi-Fi. This article contains information about a few ADB commands that allow us to interact with devices and test applications more efficiently. If you are not familiar with ADB (Android Debug Bridge), I recommend starting with the official ADB page. It is a command-line utility, included in Android SDK, which allows us to interact with an Android device or emulator over a USB connection, allowing files to be transferred, installing applications, changing permissions of applications, taking screenshots, and much more. The Android Debug Bridge is better known as ADB.
