How do you add utilities to a project?​

Right-click → Add Action → Android → Utilities

Add Utility

Available Utilities​

Console Command (ADB Shell)​

ADB shell

This action is not an ADB command in the strict sense.

Think of it more like a console or emulator terminal. All commands should be entered without "ADB Shell" at the start.

This utility works similarly to the Terminal Emulator for Android app. It lets you execute Linux console commands built into Android.

There's a 10-second timeout for this action. If your command doesn't finish in that time, the action will end with an error (exit on the red branch).

Example commands:

  • ls -la /sdcard/Download — list all files and folders at /sdcard/Download.
  • pm list packages — all installed apps.
  • pm list packages -3 — only third-party apps. Command example

Save result to variable​

Here you'll need to specify an existing or new variable to store the output.

Sending/receiving files and folders​

This utility also lets you run commands to send and receive files to/from the device:

  • Send a folder: adb push "c:\MyFolder" /sdcard/
  • Send a file: adb push "{-Project.Directory-}myFile.txt" /sdcard/myFileNewName.txt
  • Get a folder: adb pull /sdcard/myFolder c:\Users\Public
  • Get a file: adb pull /sdcard/myFile.txt "{-Project.Directory-}myFileNewName.txt"
The first path in the command is where you're getting the file from, the second is where you're sending it to.

WiFi Settings​

WiFi With this action, you can spoof the network name (SSID) and MAC address (BSSID) of the WiFi network your device is connected to.

You'll need the ZennoDroid module for LSPosed installed.

Set Geo-location​

This utility lets you spoof the device's location.

Geolocation

  • Latitude. Accepts values from -90 to 90.
  • Longitude. Accepts values from -180 to 180.
  • Altitude. Height above sea level in meters.
  • Direction. Accepts values from 0 to 360.
  • Speed. How fast your phone is "moving" in km/h (pretend you're traveling). You can use decimals, either with a [.] dot or [,] comma as a separator. For example, New York latitude and longitude: 40.7143 and -74.006

Get Element Structure (XML)​

XML Lets you grab the screen's element structure as an XML string. This is the same data you see in the element tree window, just as XML text. Then you can process it using the JSON and XML Processing action.

Some useful attributes you can get from an element:​

  • coordinates and size (the bounds attribute)
  • displayed text (the text or content-desc attribute)
  • element's unique id (the resource-id attribute)

Pinch/Zoom​

Available parameters:​

  • Coordinates: the point relative to which scaling will happen
  • Scale factor: how much to shrink or enlarge

Get Device Clipboard​

Get clipboard Lets you save the contents of the device clipboard to a variable.

Set Device Clipboard​

Set Clipboard Lets you set the clipboard content on the device.

Afterward, using the Keyboard Emulation action, you can paste the content into any field using the {AndroidKeys.PASTE} macro.

Run SQLite3 Query​

SQL Query Lets you run an SQL query on a database located on the device. On first launch, any needed files will be automatically installed on your device, depending on its architecture.

Available parameters:​

  • Path to the database. Full path to the file. For example, /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
  • Query. SQL query, like SELECT * FROM contacts
  • Response in JSON format. If you set this, the query result will be returned in JSON format (you can read it using the JSON and XML Processing action). Otherwise, the response will be returned as an array of strings. The separator is the | (vertical bar) symbol.
