Practical ADB usage to enhance your life!
summary
Automates login flows by sending real input events (taps, swipes, text) from shell scripts, swaps brittle hard‑coded coordinates for UI hierarchy lookups via UIAutomator2 to make taps device‑independent, and exposes the caveat that vanilla UIAutomator dump is ~2–3s per snapshot. Uses adb exec-out vs adb shell to stream dumps locally, leverages run-as plus sed or prefedit to read and edit shared‑prefs and sqlite dumps, and combines fzf, wm, monkey and pm commands to shortcut device selection, emulate resolutions, stress test, and grant/revoke permissions.
