• Emulator – allows you to test your Android app (.apk) using your
workstation without having a real mobile device
– Keyboard commands
– Command line parameters (switches)
– emulator -avd <avd_name> [-<option> [<value>]] ... [-<qemu args>]

- 6. • ADB - Android Debug Bridge – ADB allows us to communicate with devices or emulator instances. Very useful bridge! – It is a client/server application that runs on device and on workstation – http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html – Some ADB command examples: • adb <comando> • adb -- help • adb devices • adb logcat Getting to know the Android tools

- 8. • ADB Shell – adb shell → pwd → ls -l → cat default.prop → df → ps → exit • List services – service list • Dump services – dumpsys meminfo – dumpsys battery – dumpsys wifi – dumpsys cpuinfo • Sqlite3 interaction – cd data/data/com.android.providers.contacts – sqlite3 databases/contacts2.db • Use am = Activity Manager – am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW • Use pm = Package Manager – pm list packages Getting to know the Android tools
- 9. • The DDMS Perspective – Dalvik Debug Monitor Service (DDMS) is a debugging tool that allows us to use and perform several debug tasks: • Devices - Shows the list of devices and AVDs that are connected to ADB. • Emulator Control - Lets you carry out device functions. • LogCat - Lets you view system log messages in real time. • Threads - Shows currently running threads within a VM. • Heap - Shows heap usage for a VM. • Allocation Tracker - Shows the memory allocation of objects. • File Explorer - Lets you explore the device's file system. • http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/ddms.html Getting to know the Android tools
