In Linux I can call iwconfig to get the info about wifi spots. How can I obtain the same kind of information in Android?
The exact same iwconfig exists on Android too. You can connect into your Android phone using adb shell over USB and run the iwconfig command.
You can install adb shell on your PC. Here is the instruction - http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
Connect your Android phone to your PC over UDB
Open Command Prompt
Run adb shell inside the Command Prompt
adb shell provides bash like shell to run command on the Android phone. Run iwconfig in the adb shell
iwconfig for Android ia also available from https://github.com/nvamelichev/wireless-tools-android
Android IS almost linux, you can install a terminal program. and run commans (I use JuiceSSH)
There is a command that is in almost all linux, and in Android too (My android have it)
IP Command
You can type ip addr, ip link, ip route and other parameters to set or get your address or other info, like routes

I am using Android Studio 2020.3.1.
I want to launch a adb shell from within Android Studio.
I have the Terminal tab at the very bottom of the IDE.
But I can only open "Local" terminals.
Any ideas where I can launch a "Remote" adb shell?
Within you local terminal, you can easily start an adb shell with the command adb shell
Locate adb if it's not already in your executable paths environment variable. The location largely dependent on the OS you use and where you install the Android SDK. In general it's in the ${ANDROID_SDK}/platform-tools/ directory.
Execute adb devices. This will list the connected adb capable devices. If you are not running any emulators and you only connect your phone then your phone would show up (if not then you may need to treat some permission steps depending on your operating system). Let's say the ID of your device is XYZ.
Execute adb -s XYZ shell and you'll be in a shell on your device.
I would like to run automatized test on different Genymotion devices in the same time. For this I have to give seperate port numbers for each device.
Is it possible?
From the Genymotion Launcher, you are able to start multiple VMs. Although these each will have the same default port (5555), they will get different IP addresses from the VirtualBox host-only adapter. For example, I just launched two Genymotion machines and now adb devices shows:
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
192.168.56.101:5555 device
192.168.56.102:5555 device
$
Each can be addressed separately by specifying IP address and port in your TCP/IP socket program, or by using adb -s if you're doing manual command line work or writing scripts. I won't go into socket programming here, but here's a quick example of selective access using adb to see if the Location service is running on the second device:
$ adb -s 192.168.56.102:5555 shell service check location
Service location: found
$
we have android + linux m/c, we log in into linux shell and boot the machine in android GUI.
now we have the some script that is running on the same machine through linux shell. In that case when the script hangs we need to restart android machine. but it result into restarting the linux machine too. as they are on same machine. so i need the way to restart the android so it comes out of hang state and control remains on the script that is running through the linux shell.
so is there any adb or linux command that work for me?
Have you tried simply 'reboot' with adb?
adb reboot
Also you can run complete shell scripts (e.g. to reboot your emulator) via adb:
adb shell <command>
The official docs can be found here.
You can reboot the device by sending the following broadcast:
$ adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED
adb reboot should not reboot your linux box.
But in any case, you can redirect the command to a specific adb device using adb -s <device_id> command , where
Device ID can be obtained from the command adb devices
command in this case is reboot
I think the only way to do this is to run another machine in parallel and use that machine to issue commands to your android box similar to how you would with a phone. If you have issues with the IP changing you can reserve an ip on your router and have the machine grab that one instead of asking the routers DHCP for one. This way you can ping the machine and figure out if it's done rebooting to continue the script.
I have tried the navigate to the android tool folder and entering the "adb shell" command but it doesn't seem to work. My terminal seems only to recognize the adb part of the command and gives me an error message. What am I doing wrong???
List all connected devices by typing adb devices
Check, if there are any devices listed. If not you may want to check that your device is connected and/or your emulator is running.
If it works and you have for example your emulator running and your usb-device connected use:
adb shell if you only have device connected.
adb -d shell to connect to an USB-Device.
adb -e shell to connect to an emulated device.
If you have more than one emulator or usb devices you might want to use:
adb -s <DEVICE> shell
Note:
Make sure that the path to the android-sdk is properly set-up in your environment. To quickcheck, fire up a shell and type adb version. If that command succeeds, you're set up. If not, add /path/to/android-sdk/tools and /path/to/android/platform-tools to your $PATH env variable. On windows the android sdk is typically located in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk.
Is it possible to get android device info (e.g. firmware version) from windows, when device is connected with PC by USB cable?
As I understand AT commands are not available. I was trying to use "adb", but I cannot see any usefull options. Maybe there is some text file with device info on the filesystem of the phone, so I could use "adb shell" to read this file?
Regards!
Use for example
adb -e shell getprop ro.build.display.id
to obtain something like
sdk-eng 2.1 ERD79 22607 test-keys
If you have more than one device or emulator, use
adb devices
to identify them and then use -s serialno in adb command line
