Run ADB command from the build script

[Tomáš Procházka]

I need to run some adb shell am commands after APK is installed on the device.

Has android gradle plugin some support for running adb commands please?

[Bryan Herbst]

Gradle provides a task type for executing commands from the command line. The documentation is located here.

As far as I know, there's are no hooks in the Gradle plugin for running ADB commands, so you will need to invoke the ADB executable using an exec task.

It might look something like this if you are running Windows:

task listAdbDevices(type:Exec) {

  workingDir '../'

  commandLine 'cmd', '/c', 'adb devices'

Thanks.

It is really pain to call adb from programm.

For  example adb install write error message to the stdout instead of stderr

adb push write all successfully pushed  files to the stderr :-( Why?

And also exit value is sometimes 0 also when some error is displayed :-(

Very sad.
