adb with alfred workflow

  • multiple connected devices
  • devices beyound your arm's reach

adb, apk, apkf, avd, geny

Dependencies

These dependencies are included in Android Studio and Android command line tools. link

Other optional but powerful widgets this workflow uses

  • scrcpy - screen mirror, screen recording, control device from your mac

Self script customization

If there is some cool features you used a lot but not included in this workflow. You can either add your step, code and link the flow together. Or you can use "self script" feature to add customizable step for device operation or apk/app operation.

For example.

  1. In workflow configuration, add self_script_app_1 as key and Open in F-Droid|Users/username/Documents/myscript/open_in_fdroid.py as value.

  2. Now open an apk or select an installed package on device, there will be a new option titled "Open in F-Droid".

  3. Once selected, you local script Users/username/Documents/myscript/open_in_fdroid.py will be triggered with all existing workflow variables, especially package name in this example.

  4. Ideally, F-Droid webpage of current application will be opened.

  5. Unlike the first option to add you own step, the customized flow with self script will be persisted across this workflow updates.

If your self script produces a json data in the format of script filter, it will populate a alfred list after execution.

Please check self_scripts for references.
