Waydroid command line options

Waydroid offers a number of command line arguments and options in order to work with the various parts of the program.

Usage

waydroid [-h] [-V] [-l LOG] [--details-to-stdout] [-v] [-q]

optional arguments

  • -h, --help - show this help message and exit
  • -V, --version - show program's version number and exit
  • -l LOG, --log LOG path - to log file (default: /var/lib/waydroid)
  • --details-to-stdout - print details (e.g. build output) to stdout, instead of writing to the log
  • -v, --verbose - write even more to the logfiles (this may reduce performance)
  • -q, --quiet - do not output any log messages
  • -f - Force options (used with 'init' commands)
  • -i LOCATION, Init from specified location (default: /usr/share/waydroid-extra/images) *used with init action*

Actions

You can use the following actions with the waydroid tool

  • status - quick check for the waydroid
  • log - follow the waydroid logfile
  • init - set up waydroid specific configs and install images
  • upgrade - upgrade images
  • session - session controller
  • container - container controller
  • app - applications controller (see: Install and Run Android Applications)
  • prop - android properties controller
  • show-full-ui - show android full screen in window
  • shell - run remote shell command
  • logcat - show android logcat

Examples

  • log:

    waydroid log > ~/waydroid-log.txt
  • logcat:

    sudo waydroid logcat > ~/waydroid-logcat.tx
  • Init for test builds:
    Create the folder: usr/share/waydroid-extra/images and extract your customized images there.
    First, you need to do a little cleanup (if this fails, reboot and try again):

    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/waydroid /home/.waydroid ~/waydroid

    Then run:

    sudo waydroid init -f
    sudo waydroid init

    Or, if you have your test images in another location (ex: ~/Downloads/test_build/), then run:

    sudo waydroid init -f
    sudo waydroid init -i ~/Downloads/test_build
