Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

The Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a command line tool used for communicating between a testing client (i.e laptop) and a testing device (ie mobile phone/emulator)

It is formed of:

• Client that sends commands
• Daemon that runs the commands (adbd)
• A server that manages the communications between the client and daemon

Default Ports:

• TCP 5037

The ADB server will detect emulators running or connected running devices by scanning odd numbered ports from TCP 555-5585.
