Installing

npm install appium-adb

Watch

Test

unit tests

npm run test

functional tests

By default the functional tests use an avd named NEXUS_S_18_X86, with API Level 18. To change this, you can use the environment variables PLATFORM_VERSION, API_LEVEL, and ANDROID_AVD. If PLATFORM_VERSION is set then it is not necessary to set API_LEVEL as it will be inferred.

npm run e2e-test

Usage:

example:

import ADB from 'appium-adb';

const adb = await ADB.createADB();
console.log(await adb.getPIDsByName('com.android.phone'));
