How to control ADB commands on Android using code JAVA + Appium

Hey Guys

After many searches, the best solution I found to work with ADB commands on real devices

(Those who use emulators for testing are less relevant because there you can use commands from the Appium library)

The first thing is to write a method that sends a command to the CommandLine

    public static void runShellScript(String command) {


        int iExitValue;
        String sCommandString;
        sCommandString = command;
        CommandLine oCmdLine = CommandLine.parse(sCommandString);
        DefaultExecutor oDefaultExecutor = new DefaultExecutor();
        oDefaultExecutor.setExitValue(0);


        try{
            iExitValue = oDefaultExecutor.execute(oCmdLine);


        } catch (ExecuteException e){
            System.out.println("Fail");
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e){
            System.out.println("Denied");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }        

Then implement the method like this

runShellScript("adb shell svc data enable");        

and use anywhere as needed in tests :)

For example:

If we want to test a certain application whose operating requirements require active Bluetooth + WIFI + Data + Location

So we will send the following commands:

runShellScript("adb shell svc data enable")
runShellScript("adb shell svc wifi enable");
runShellScript("adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.bluetooth --es setstatus enable");
runShellScript("adb shell settings put secure location_mode 3");;        

It is important to note that the commands vary according to the type of version and device, so you must first check what the correct password is.

• Enable bluetooth: adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.bluetooth --es setstatus enable
• Disable bluetooth: adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.bluetooth --es setstatus disable
• Enable location: adb shell settings put secure location_mode 3
• Disable location: adb shell settings put secure location_mode 0
• Enable mobile data: adb shell svc data enable
• Disable mobile data: adb shell svc data disable
• Enable wifi: adb shell svc wifi enable
• Disable wifi: adb shell svc wifi disable
