Android Debug Bridge build system and Python ctypes wrapper to adb

Android Debug Bridge lib

ADB build system and Python ctypes wrapper to libadb.

Requirements

On ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Cloning

Just run:

git clone https://github.com/wiliamsouza/libadb.git

It uses a git submodule, you must run this two commands:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Build

Copy make files to android source code:

cp src/core_Makefile.am src/core/Makefile.am
cp src/adb_Makefile.am src/core/adb/Makefile.am
cp src/libcutils_Makefile.am src/core/libcutils/Makefile.am
cp src/libzipfile_Makefile.am src/core/libzipfile/Makefile.am

To build the lib run:

autoreconf -vif
./configure
make

The above command will generate an libadb.so at build directory.

Running

Enable debug information:

export ADB_TRACE=1

Python

Export environment variable pointing to your recent build library location:

$ export ADB_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/src/libadb/.libs/libadb.so

Set Python path to local copy o adblib python:

$ export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/python/:$PYTHONPATH

Now you can call the follow command from the project root directory:

$ python python/examples/adb.py

It's an adb clone written in python using 3 lines of code.

C

Export environment variable pointing to your recent build library location:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../`pwd`/src/libadb/.libs/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=../`pwd`/src/libadb/.libs/:$LIBRARY_PATH

Compile:

cd examples/
gcc devices.c -I../include/ -ladb -L../src/libadb/.libs/ -o devices

Run:

./devices
