Smart Development Bridge (SDB) is a command line tool for emulator/device management. It acts as an intermediary between a device and your development system and provides various device management capabilities such as moving and syncing files to the emulator, running a UNIX shell on the device or emulator.

Using SDB tool you can:

• Manage connections to multiple instances of emulator/devices. You can list connected devices and send a command to a specific device with a serial number that is created by the SDB.
• Supply basic commands for application development, such as file transfer, remote shell command, port forwarding for a debugger, and viewing, filtering, and controlling device log output, and troubleshooting.

Usage

Prerequiste - To see the Developer option in Settings, you need to Enable Developer Option

1. To use the SDB in a target device, set the device to the SDB mode by going to Settings > Developer options > USB debugging in the device menu.

2. Run the SDB with a shell using the following command:

   $ sdb [option] <command> [parameters]

   where [option] can be:

   -d : Directs the command to the only connected USB device and return an error if more than one USB device is present.

   -e : Direct the command to the only running Emulator and return an error if more than one Emulator is present.

   -s : Direct the command to the USB device or Emulator with the defined serial number.

   devices : List of all connected devices.
