One problem with ADB is that you need multiple commands to get things done. For example:
adb shell
su
cp /data/local/x /data/local/y
exit
adb pull /data/local/y
Can this be done using python popen and os-system? Tried the example below without success..
print 'Starting emulator...'
subprocess.Popen(['emulator', '-avd', 'testavd'])
os.system('adb wait-for-device')
os.system('Perform whatever adb commands you need')
Any pointers?
You can simply do:
adb shell su -c cp /data/local/x /data/local/y
adb pull /data/local/y
or, if you want to run more than one command (only Linux & OSX):
adb shell <<EOF
ls
date
cat /proc/version
exit
EOF
