sh-android

This repo contains a collection of useful shell scripts for Android Developer

Get Started

Mac

1. Open up your ~/.bash_profile or create a file if one doesn't exist
2. Define ANDROID_HOME as the following and replace "USER_NAME" with your macbook username export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/"USER_NAME"/Library/Android/sdk
3. Add the following lines

export ANDROID_TOOL=${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools
PATH=$ANDROID_TOOL:$PATH
PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/bin:$PATH

#Deletes the app from the connected device
adb-del(){
	adb uninstall $1
}

#Stops the app and clears the app cache
adb-reset(){
	adb-stop $1
	adb shell pm clear $1
}

#Stops the app
adb-stop(){
	adb shell am force-stop $1
}

#restarts the adb - Use this command if Android Studio having a trouble detecting your device.
adb-restart-server() {
	adb kill-server
	adb devices
}

#To delete all local branches that are already merged into the currently checked out branch:
#This will delete all local branches that have been merged and skip deleteing master and dev branch
git-cleanup() {
	git branch --merged | egrep -v "(^\*|master|dev)" | xargs git branch -d
}

4. Restart your terminal and type adb. You should be able to see the adb related suggestions

5. Note that it's a good idea to make a convenient method for your app instead of typing the package name ie.

adb-reset-a(){
	adb-reset com.sh.android
}

Examples

Connects a device and install the app. Type the following command.

adb-reset com.package.name

This will stop the app and reset the app cache.
