[DEV] AndroidLib - .NET Android Device Communication and Management Library 01.20.13

---

Description:
AndroidLib is a .NET assembly written in C# (C-Sharp) that easily handles communication between a connected Android device and your program. Currently, there is a large amount of automated controls, eliminating thousands of lines of code the programmer has to write themselves. The class AndroidController is a semi-wrapper of the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) binary. The other class you will be working with the most is the Device class. This class contains useful information about the device (for example: software/hardware info, memory info, battery stats, mount points for partitions, root status, busybox information, and much more), as well as exposes many instance methods to control your phone such as Rebooting, Mounting Filesystems, Push/Pull/Install Files, and much more to come. AndroidLib contains all of the Android binaries necessary to work properly. AndroidLib also assumes that the phone's USB drivers are already installed correctly on the target machine, or that your program will take care of it on it's own.

This is perfect for any developer who would like to create, for example, an auto-rooter or any other application that needs to connect with Android devices through a .NET application. AndroidLib provides all the methods needed to communicate with the Android device. This will cut back on the code you have to come up with and write yourself by a HUGE amount!

What it does:

• Provides easy-to-use code for communicating with Android devices in .NET
• Provides easy access to information about the connected Android devices
• Has a large list (and growing...!) of methods that control connected Android devices

Please credit the work here by me in your own projects; not only to give thanks to me and the many hours I am putting in to this project, but so others know where to find it if they need to!


Usage:
Add a reference to AndroidLib.dll in your .NET project and begin using this great API. Please refer to the "Getting Started.txt" guide and full documentation included in the zip.

Requirements:
.NET 3.5 or Higher

It's very useful, thank you very much, im planning to code a Filemanager like qtadb, because qtadb is sucking too often

In the process of completely redesigning the library (due to coding stupidity), basically from the base class up. I should have a beta1 out by this weekend for testing. All that are interested in beta testing this library for their Android .NET projects, post here and I'll add you to the list of testers!

It would be great!
Can you add something like adb forward? So we can connect to an android service without using ADB, that as we all know sucks!

Yeah, I'll throw in a method to create a port forward. What I have now uses the bridge, which is included in the assembly, but handles all of it silently and very well. I should have a build out soon (most likely this weekend). As long as you don't dispose the AndroidController object, that port forward will be good, so you can use your own Socket code

Great work! really, great idea!

You can change the .NET to 3.5? I too code in .NET, and I try to keep the .NEt version as low as possible!

Yeah, I actually did that a few days ago, forgot to update the OP.
