I have the following usecase: On my Android will create a huge file. This file can be bigger as the free space on the phone. Now I think for a way to send this file direct to the pc instead of storing it on the phone.

Is there a possibility to pipe the file direct? It is a huge text file. The I can trigger the creation.

  • Anything like create on the phone(root rights exist) a pipe with the filename
  • send it over ADB to the pc
  • store the content.

Anyone knows a way to do it?

Thanks Björn

I found a option to output the data on the screen and than I can use "adb shell command > file_on_local_pc.txt"

This is more simple as expected. Thanks

  • If the file to be piped contains non-ascii characters just piping from `adb shell` will fail as it modifies certain characters. Therefore `adb exec-out` is the safe variant when piping data via adb. – Robert Apr 28 '22 at 10:13
