# ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Usage Guide

ADB is a powerful tool that can help developers and some advanced users accomplish many tasks. Here are some common uses of ADB:

## 1. Install Apps

You can use ADB commands to install APK files on your device. For example, you can use the following command to install an app:

adb install example.apk

Where "example.apk" is the path to the APK file you want to install.

## 2. Uninstall Apps

You can also use ADB to uninstall apps on your device. For example, you can use the following command to uninstall an app:

adb uninstall com.example.app

Where "com.example.app" is the package name of the app you want to uninstall.

## 3. Copy Files

ADB allows you to copy files between your device and computer. For example, you can use the following command to copy a file from your computer to your device:

adb push local_file_path device_file_path

Where "local_file_path" is the file path on your computer, and "device_file_path" is the file path on your device.

Conversely, you can use the following command to copy a file from your device to your computer:

adb pull device_file_path local_file_path

## 4. View Connected Devices

To view a list of devices connected to your computer, you can use the following command:

adb devices

This will display the serial number and status of the devices.

## 5. Execute Shell Commands

You can use ADB to execute shell commands on your device. For example, you can use the following command to view logs on your device:

adb logcat

Additionally, you can use the following command to execute any shell command on your device:

adb shell "your_shell_command"

## 6. Reboot Device

adb reboot

You can also use the following command to reboot your device into bootloader mode:

## 7. Get Device Information

To get detailed information about your device, you can use the following command:

This will display various properties and configuration information about your device.
