Practical ADB usage to enhance your life!
summary
Shows how to automate daily device tasks by building a bash script that sends ADB input events to log into an app without touching the phone, using dynamic coordinates extracted from UI XML dumps so the script runs across different phones and resolutions and executes lightning fast in demo. Replaces slow ~2–3s ui automator dumps with UI Automator 2, streams XML back with adb exec-out, inspects state with dumpsys/easy-dumpsys, and edits prefs via run-as + sed; also covers fzf, wm, monkey (5,000 events) and pm grant.
