adbutils

Python adb library for adb service (Only support Python3.6+)

Install

pip install adbutils

Usage

Example

Connect ADB Server

import adbutils

adb = adbutils.AdbClient(host="127.0.0.1", port=5037)
print(adb.devices())

The above code can be short to from adbutils import adb

List all the devices and get device object

from adbutils import adb

for d in adb.devices():
    print(d.serial) # print device serial

d = adb.device(serial="33ff22xx")

# You do not need to offer serial if only one device connected
# RuntimeError will be raised if multi device connected
d = adb.device()

The following code will not write from adbutils import adb for short

Connect remote device

Same as command adb connect

output = adb.connect("127.0.0.1:5555")
print(output)
# output: already connected to 127.0.0.1:5555

List forward

Same as adb forward --list

# list all forwards
for item in adb.forward_list():
    print(item.serial, item.local, item.remote)
    # 8d1f93be tcp:10603 tcp:7912
    # 12345678 tcp:10664 tcp:7912

# list only one device forwards
for item in adb.forward_list("8d1f93be"):
    print(item.serial, item.local, item.remote)
    # 8d1f93be tcp:10603 tcp:7912
    # 12345678 tcp:10664 tcp:7912


# 监控设备连接 track-devices
for event in adb.track_devices():
    print(event.present, event.serial, event.status)

## When plugin two device, output
# True WWUDU16C22003963 device
# True bf755cab device
# False bf755cab absent

# When adb-server killed, AdbError will be raised

Run shell command

I assume there is only one device connected.

import io
from adbutils import adb

d = adb.device()

print(d.serial) # 获取序列号

# Argument support list, str
serial = d.shell(["getprop", "ro.serial"]) # 获取Prop信息

# Same as
serial = d.shell("getprop ro.serial")

# Set timeout for shell command
d.shell("sleep 1", timeout=0.5) # Should raise adbutils.AdbTimeout

# show property, also based on d.shell
print(d.prop.name) # output example: surabaya
d.prop.model
d.prop.device
d.prop.get("ro.product.model")
d.prop.get("ro.product.model", cache=True) # a little faster, use cache data first

Transfer files

d.sync.push(io.BytesIO(b"Hello Android"), "/data/local/tmp/hi.txt") # 推送文件

# 读取文件
for chunk in d.sync.iter_content("/data/local/tmp/hi.txt"):
    print("Chunk", chunk)

# 拷贝到本地
d.sync.pull("/data/local/tmp/hi.txt", "hi.txt")

# 获取包的信息
info = d.package_info("com.example.demo")
if info:
    print(info) 
	# output example:
    # {
	# "version_name": "1.2.3", "version_code": "12", "signature": "0xff132", 
    # "first_install_time": datetime-object, "last_update_time": datetime-object,
    # }

Extended Functions

AdbUtils provided some custom functions for some complex operations.

You can use it like this:

# simulate click
d.click(100, 100)

# swipe from(10, 10) to(200, 200) 500ms
d.swipe(10, 10, 200, 200, 0.5)

d.list_packages()
# example output: ["com.example.hello"]

d.window_size() 
# example output: (1080, 1920)

d.rotation()
# example output: 1
# other possible valus: 0, 1, 2, 3

d.package_info("com.github.uiautomator")
# example output: {"version_name": "1.1.7", "version_code": "1007"}

d.keyevent("HOME")

d.send_keys("hello world$%^&*") # simulate: adb shell input text "hello%sworld\%\^\&\*"

d.open_browser("https://www.baidu.com") # 打开百度
# There still too many functions, please see source codes

d.is_screen_on() # 返回屏幕是否亮屏 True or False

Screenrecord

# run screenrecord to record screen
r = d.screenrecord()
# sleep for a while, can not large then 3 minutes
r.stop() # stop recording
r.stop_and_pull("video.mp4") # stop recording and pull video to local, then remove video from device

# control start time manually
r = d.screenrecord(no_autostart=True)
r.start() # start record
r.stop_and_pull("video.mp4") # stop recording and pull video to local, then remove video from device

For further usage, please read mixin.py for details.

Examples

Record video using screenrecord

stream = d.shell("screenrecord /sdcard/s.mp4", stream=True)
time.sleep(3) # record for 3 seconds
with stream:
	stream.send("\003") # send Ctrl+C
	stream.read_until_close()

start = time.time()
print("Video total time is about", time.time() - start)
d.sync.pull("/sdcard/s.mp4", "s.mp4") # pulling video

Develop

git clone https://github.com/openatx/adbutils adbutils
pip install -e adbutils # install as development mode

Now you can edit code in adbutils and test with

import adbutils
# .... test code here ...

Run tests requires one device connected to your computer

# change to repo directory
cd adbutils

pip install pytest
pytest tests/

Run in command line 命令行使用

Environment variables

ANDROID_SERIAL  serial number to connect to
ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_HOST adb server host to connect to
ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT adb server port to connect to

Color Logcat

For convenience of using logcat, I put put pidcat inside.

python3 -m adbutils.pidcat [package]

Experiment

Install Auto confirm supported(Beta), you need to famillar with uiautomator2 first

# Install with auto confirm (Experiment, based on github.com/openatx/uiautomator2)
$ python -m adbutils --install-confirm -i some.apk

For more usage, please see the code for details.
