ADB是什么，做android开发的没有不知道的。
window下运行cmd，输入adb help就会打印adb都能够做的事情，包括 adb push 。。adb pull 。。 adb devices adb install。。。 等等。。并且一搜一大把。
其中有一个命令叫做 adb shell，android是基于linux的，shell模式下linux的命令可是非常多的，android去掉了许多linux的命令，那么从这写命令里面又能够发现什么宝藏呢？寻宝之旅开启！！
首先linux的shell模式有许多命令，例如 ls cd mkdir su ps vim等等许多控制命令，这些在android上都是支持的。但是它是android的内核啊，应该有些特殊点的吧。
通过命令cd /system/bin 进入bin目录查看一下。

我们一般可以通过 命令 -h 来查看介绍，例如：
# am -h
am -h

am to-intent-uri [INTENT]
am start: start an Activity. Options are:
-D: enable debugging
-W: wait for launch to complete
--start-profiler <FILE>: start profiler and send results to <FILE>
-P <FILE>: like above, but profiling stops when app goes idle
-R: repeat the activity launch <COUNT> times. Prior to each repeat,
the top activity will be finished.
-S: force stop the target app before starting the activity
am startservice: start a Service.
am force-stop: force stop everything associated with <PACKAGE>.
am kill: Kill all processes associated with <PACKAGE>. Only kills.
processes that are safe to kill -- that is, will not impact the user
experience.
am kill-all: Kill all background processes.
am broadcast: send a broadcast Intent.
am instrument: start an Instrumentation. Typically this target <COMPONENT>
is the form <TEST_PACKAGE>/<RUNNER_CLASS>. Options are:
-r: print raw results (otherwise decode REPORT_KEY_STREAMRESULT). Use with
[-e perf true] to generate raw output for performance measurements.
-e <NAME> <VALUE>: set argument <NAME> to <VALUE>. For test runners a
common form is [-e <testrunner_flag> <value>[,<value>...]].
-p <FILE>: write profiling data to <FILE>
-w: wait for instrumentation to finish before returning. Required for
test runners.
--no-window-animation: turn off window animations will running.
am profile: start and stop profiler on a process.
am dumpheap: dump the heap of a process. Options are:
-n: dump native heap instead of managed heap
am set-debug-app: set application <PACKAGE> to debug. Options are:
-w: wait for debugger when application starts
--persistent: retain this value
am clear-debug-app: clear the previously set-debug-app.
am monitor: start monitoring for crashes or ANRs.
--gdb: start gdbserv on the given port at crash/ANR
am screen-compat: control screen compatibility mode of <PACKAGE>.
am display-size: override display size.
am to-uri: print the given Intent specification as a URI.
am to-intent-uri: print the given Intent specification as an intent: URI.
<INTENT> specifications include these flags and arguments:

Error: Unknown command: -h虽然-h没法识别，可还是打印出了参数的。
1、am命令是非常有用的一个命令，使用此命令可以启动 activity, services；发送 broadcast等等。
使用实例：如启动一个 Activity：
格式：adb shell am start -n 包名/包名＋类名（-n 类名,-a action,-d date,-m MIME-TYPE,-c category,-e 扩展数据,等）。
实例1：C:\Users\Administrator>adb shell am start -n com.android.camera/.CameraStarting: Intent { cmp=com.android.camera/.Camera }
实例2：（带extra 的 intent）C:\Users\Administrator>adb shell am start -n com.android.camera/.Camera -e abc helloStarting: Intent { cmp=com.android.camera/.Camera (has extras) }其中 extra 的 key 为 abc ,value 为字串 "hello"
还可以发送命令模拟手机低电环境：
实例：adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BATTERY_CHANGED --ei "level" 3 --ei "scale" 100
2、getprop/watchprops
getprop列出系统的属性,前面十名字,后面是值
# getprop
getprop
[ro.secure]: [0]
[ro.allow.mock.location]: [1]
[ro.debuggable]: [1]
[persist.service.adb.enable]: [1]
[ro.kernel.qemu]: [1]
[ro.kernel.console]: [ttyS0]
[ro.kernel.android.checkjni]: [1]
[ro.kernel.android.qemud]: [ttyS1]
[ro.kernel.android.ndns]: [1]
[ro.factorytest]: [0]
[ro.serialno]: []
3、watchprosp动态监视这些属性的变化,比如我修改系统的语言为中文,就会打印出:
# watchprops
watchprops
1269420653 persist.sys.language = ‘zh‘
1269420653 persist.sys.language = ‘CN‘
4、 wipe <system|data|all>
wipe表示清除模拟器或者真机上的数据,比如你的模拟器用了很久,装了很多软件就可以用这个来清除
system表示清除 /system下的数据
data表述清除 /data 下的数据
