Answer 1

I've tried to use the Windows terminal to do the cmd like "adb logcat", but it says "adb is not recognized." So I just found a solution provided by the following link, which works fine for me:

Steps to setup adb on windows :

1) Open command promt and type adb

you will see this message :'adb' is not recognized

2) Now Download sdk(adt bundle) from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

the ADT Bundle includes everything you need to begin developing apps: Eclipse + ADT plugin Android SDK Tools Android Platform tools The latest Android platform The latest Android system image for the emulator

3)Extract the zip to c drive with name "AndroidSDK" Open the platform-tools folder, you will find the adb.exe file

4)Now click on my computer and select properties

5) Click on advanced system settings

6) Choose environment variables

7) From system variables, choose path and double click on it

8)At the end of variable values put a semicolon ; and address of platform tools folder, for me it is C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools

9)Now click OK

10)Open command prompt and type adb

11) You will see it is working

You can either run your apk on an emulator or directly on a device via the adb CLI.

Devices

Find your preferred plugged in device ID:

adb devices

Install onto your device (or emulator if no device ID) with the following command:

adb -s "your-device-ID" install bin/MyFirstApp-debug.apk

You can also run with the following command:

adb shell am start -n com.app.name/com.app.name.LaunchActivity

Emulators / AVDs

List your emulators:

emulator -list-avds

Run a specific emulator:

emulator -avd device_name

eg: emulator -avd Pixel_5_API_30
