Joe Fedewa has been writing about technology for over a decade. He has been covering Android and the rest of the Google ecosystem for years, reviewing devices, hosting podcasts, filming videos, and writing tutorials.


Joe loves all things technology and is also an avid DIYer at heart. He has written thousands of articles, hundreds of tutorials, and dozens of reviews.


Before joining How-To Geek, Joe worked at XDA-Developers as Managing Editor and covered news from the Google ecosystem. He got his start in the industry covering Windows Phone on a small blog, and later moved to Phandroid where he covered Android news, reviewed devices, wrote tutorials, created YouTube videos, and hosted a podcast.


From smartphones to Bluetooth earbuds to Z-Wave switches, Joe is interested in all kinds of technology. After several years of jailbreaking and heavily modifying an iPod Touch, he moved on to his first smartphone, the HTC DROID Eris. He's been hooked ever since.


Outside of technology, Joe is an avid DIYer, runner, and food enthusiast. If something piques his interest, he will dive into it headfirst and try to learn as much as possible. Joe brings that same passion to How-To Geek.

The Android Debug Bridge (commonly abbreviated as adb) is a programming tool used for the debugging of Android-based devices. The daemon on the Android device connects with the server on the host PC over USB or TCP, which connects to the client that is used by the end-user over TCP. Made available as open-source software under the Apache License by Google since 2007, features include a shell and the possibility to make backups. The adb software is compatible with Windows, Linux and macOS. It has been misused by botnets and other malware, for which mitigations were developed such as RSA authentication and device whitelisting.

On Ubuntu, adb can be installed with the android-tools-adb package.[21] For Debian, it has been recommended to also install the android-sdk-platform-tools-common package next to the adb package, which installs the udev rules which makes it possible to run the tool without root permissions.[22] For macOS and other Linux distributions, the platform tools can be downloaded and the PATH variable can be modified in bashrc.[23]

In Android 4.2.2 or later (API level 17), a dialog is shown with an RSA fingerprint that the user needs to accept. This protects against computers exploiting the debugging mechanism without consent of the device user.[24] Starting in Android 4.2, the developer settings are hidden by default. Pressing seven times on the build number in the about menu makes them visible to the user. After that, the USB debugging option can be enabled.[25] Some Android vendors have different procedures to enable it. For example, Huawei requires entering a pincode before adb can be enabled.[26]

I spent quite sometime figuring how to set up adb on Mac, so I figure writing how to set it up might be useful to some people. adb is the command line tool to install and run android apps on your phone/emulator

When it comes to smartphone operating systems, Android dominates in global market share. However, several features of Google's OS can be accessed only through paths and methods that are hidden away from the average user. These have generally been done with the help of some command line Android Debug Bridge (ADB) commands, a tool that Google offers for developers to debug various parts of their applications or the system, but which we can use for all kinds of neat, hidden tricks. A prerequisite to these tricks is installing ADB on your computer. So, in this guide, we will show you how to install ADB on Windows, macOS, and Linux in quick and easy-to-follow steps.

After updating Android Studio to 2.0 l am getting this error unable to obtain debug bridge and Android Device Monitor does not open. Anyone faced this error before?

Thanks for your kind reply but actually those drivers can be used only on windows machines but i need a support for NI PXI with PharLap OS kindly help me out to get that in to PXI for ADB connection with android devices

The typical Samsung ADB driver download is anyhow a monster in what it all includes. Googles own solution isn't much better. And the whole ADB bridge is complicated enough that it is unlikely that someone made an alternative driver for it, rather than relying on the Google provided solution.

The service androidtv.adb_command allows you to send either keys or ADB shell commands to your Android / Fire TV device. If there is any output, it will be stored in the 'adb_response' attribute (i.e., state_attr('media_player.android_tv_living_room', 'adb_response') in a template) and logged at the INFO level.

The Android Debug Bridge integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more.

[Learn more] works by polling the Android / Fire TV device at a regular interval and collecting a handful of properties. Unfortunately, there is no standard API for determining the state of the device to which all apps adhere. Instead, the backend androidtv package uses three of the properties that it collects to determine the state: audio_state, media_session_state, and wake_lock_size. The correct logic for determining the state differs depending on the current app, and the backend androidtv package implements app-specific state detection logic for a handful of apps. Of course, it is not feasible to implement custom logic for each and every app in the androidtv package. Moreover, the correct state detection logic may differ across devices and device configurations.

You can use Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to connect your development computer to an Amazon Fire TV device or stick for installing, testing, and debugging your apps. Before you use ADB, you must enable debugging on your Fire TV device, and set up ADB on your computer. Follow the steps below.

I've revoked the keys, rebooted both devices, enabled and disabled network debugging. Same result over and over. "Offline" / "Already Connected" over and over again to both devices in your Docker log.

Are you doing NETWORK debugging or USB debugging? I am not using this personally with a Shield TV at this point in time, but an android TV with android built into the TV, and I had to turn on USB debugging for it to work, not network debugging. Perhaps that's worth a shot?

IIRC I ONLY have USB debugging on, so I'd try that first - just USB, and if that doesn't seem to do it, try with both USB and Network debugging on, check docker logs each time to see if they change, let mek now the results.

Ok so this is what I see all the time with my setup that is working as intended. - So i suppose USB + Network debugging on is a good thing here, unless you see exactly the same with just network debugging?

Multiple deleting / installing your docker, multiple revoking and enabling network debugging, multiple reboots of the Shield.... all produced those error messages in the Docker Log file but yet, ADB commands work.

The intention is to highlight the overlooked point of the original article about the attacks through ADB. Although what the article claims could be true, I felt it is a bit misleading. Researching android devices under a specific region(which is famous for rooted devices/custom android images), the article seems to generalize the issue. It does mention,

But doesn't seem to highlight it as the major issue. I completely agree where it's the vendor's fault to ship devices with 'ADB' enabled, the scenario where the device runs a rooted custom android escalates the issue to another level.

Just looking at the title & the fancy technical terms, a novice android user would get scared if not concerned a bit about his privacy. Nowadays, where hacking seems to occur almost every day, I don't blame anyone when they hear the words, "android" & "hack" together, get scared or worried about their privacy. I want the people to know about how 'ADB' tool works so that they can better understand when hearing about issues related to ADB and make an informed decision rather than jumping to conclusions.

As per the original article, it claims that the several vendors(specific to a region) ship Android with ADB enabled. Which then enables a hacker to connect over TCP (Wifi/Ethernet), to hack the device and steal user information. It's certainly true that when 'ADB' is enabled on a device, it's quite easy to connect to the device over TCP if you know the IP address of the device. But how much the hacker can do once he gets access to the device depends on if the android was a rooted or non-rooted device.

When connecting through ADB on a rooted android device(i.e., device that runs custom android images rather than the factory defaulted image), the user has elevated 'root' permissions. So the hacker has the potential to run commands that compromise the security/privacy of the user. So one should be aware of flashing custom images on your phones. The image may have enabled "USB Debugging" by default and even worse, "enabled USB Debugging over TCP" through 5555 or any other ports. It basically opens the doors for the hacker to use the phone as they wish.

'Android Debug Bridge-ADB' is a tool that helps in communicating between the device and PC, which can be obtained by installing Platform tools. For more details on 'ADB', you can read this article from developer.android.com. 2351a5e196
