How to check the Android developer tools version from the command line?

I'm trying to retrieve the ADT version to generate some system reports.

How can I check the version of the android developer tools installed on the system using the command line?

Solution

  • Various parts of the tools save their revision number in files

    For example

    cat /android/sdk/platform-tools/source.properties | grep Pkg.Revision
cat /android/sdk/tools/source.properties | grep Pkg.Revision

    The build tools themselves are placed in versioned directories, so you can find them via

    ls /android/sdk/build-tools/
