AutoAdb

This command-line tool allows to execute a command whenever a new device is connected to adb.

For example, to execute printf on device connection:

autoadb printf 'Device connected\n'

{} replaces the serial of the device detected:

autoadb printf 'Device %s connected\n' '{}'

It may be used to start scrcpy:

autoadb scrcpy -s '{}'

Build

cargo build --release

It will generate the binary in target/release/autoadb.

Cross-compile from Linux to Windows

To build autoadb.exe from Linux, install the cross-compile toolchain (on Debian):

sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Add the following lines to ~/.cargo/config:

[target.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu]
linker = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"
ar = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ar"

Then build:

cargo build --release --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

It will generate target/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/release/autoadb.exe.

Licence

This project reuses the mechanism I implemented in gnirehtet and expose it as a standalone tool, so the licence is the same.
