How to use Shell in ADB?
To use ADB Shell, connect your Android device to a computer, open a terminal or command prompt, and type adb shell. This will open a shell interface to run commands on the connected device. You can integrate ADB Shell in your testing workflows via LambdaTest for real device testing.
Where can I download an ADB Shell?
You can download ADB Shell as part of the Android SDK platform tools from the official Android developer website. Alternatively, LambdaTest allows you to execute ADB Shell commands on real Android devices, providing an online testing environment without needing local setup.
How to run ADB Shell commands?
To run ADB Shell commands, connect your device, open a terminal window, and enter adb shell followed by the desired command (e.g., logcat or input). LambdaTest's platform also enables you to run ADB Shell commands directly on real devices for more efficient testing.
