| === Few bash snippets === |
| @Source (https://jonfhancock.com/bash-your-way-to-better-android-development-1169bc3e0424) |
| === Using tail -n |
| //Use tail to remove the first line. Actually two lines. The first one is just a newline. The second is “List of devices attached.” |
| $ adb devices | tail -n +2 |
| === Using cut -sf |
| // Cut the last word and any white space off the end of each line. |
| $ adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1 |
| === Using xargs -I |
| // Given the -I option, xargs will perform an action for each line of text that we feed into it. |
| // We can give the line a variable name to use in commands that xargs can execute. |
| $ adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1 | xargs -I X echo X aw yiss |
| === Three options below together |
| // Will print android version of all connected devices |
| adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell getprop ro.build.version.release |
| === Using alias |
| — Example 1 |
| alias tellMeMore=echo |
| tellMeMore “hi there” |
| Output => hi there |
| — Example 2 |
| // Define alias |
| alias apkinstall=”adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X install -r $1″ |
| // And you can use it later |
| apkinstall ~/Downloads/MyAppRelease.apk // Install an apk on all devices |
| — Example 3 |
| alias rmapp=”adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X uninstall $1″ |
| rmapp com.example.myapp // Uninstall a package from all devices |
| — Example 4 |
| alias clearapp=”adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell pm clear $1″ |
| clearapp com.example.myapp // Clear data on all devices (leave installed) |
| — Example 5 |
| alias startintent=”adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell am start $1″ |
| startintent https://twitter.com/JonFHancock // Launch a deep link on all devices |
| Setting up your .bash_profile |
| Finally, to make this all reusable even after rebooting your computer (aliases only last through the current session), we have to add these to your .bash_profile. You might or might not already have a .bash_profile, so let’s make sure we append to it rather than overwriting it. Just open a terminal, and run the following command |
| touch .bash_profile && open .bash_profile |
| This will create it if it doesn’t already exist, and open it in a text editor either way. Now just copy and paste all of the aliases into it, save, and close. |
| alias startintent=”adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell am start $1″ |
| alias apkinstall=”adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X install -r $1″ |
| alias rmapp=”adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X uninstall $1″ |
| alias clearapp=”adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell pm clear $1″ |
