Please be notice that below commands are for windows.

• Manually install the app to the emulator:

adb install path_to_apk

For example:

adb install D:\abc\newapp\VSee-vsee-release.apk

If you have more than 1 emulators, use option 's' to specify the device

>adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
emulator-5555 device

>adb -s emulator-5555 install helloWorld.apk

Note: If you issue a command without specifying a target device when multiple devices are available, adb generates an error.

• Take a screenshot:

adb shell screencap path_to_save_screenshot

For example:

adb shell screencap /sdcard/screen.png

• Copy files to/from a device:

To copy a file or directory and its sub-directories from the device

adb pull remote local

For example:

adb pull /sdcard/screen.png .

To copy a file or directory and its sub-directories to the device, do the following:

adb push local remote

For example:

adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt
