[Tool] ADB Fileexplorer

DareT0Be · Aug 8, 2012

Hi,

I have built a little tool, which enables the user to browse through the phones filessystem via ADB.
You can also connect an android via ADB over TCP if its enabled on the phone.

Prerequisites are is a JRE version 1.7.0_03 or higher and ADB in Path.

Short feature overview:
- pull files from the phone to the local filesystem
- push files to the phones filesystem
- connect a ADB-over-TCP enabled Android device
- browse trough the phones filesystem
- deleting files on the phone

Double-click on a folder will browse into it.
Double-click on a file will pull it into the pull destination an open it.

Disclaimer:
I don´t take any responsibility for data loss or any other possible damage.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Repo:
https://github.com/D4r3T0B3/ADB-Fileexplorer

2 Notes about the source:
- my GUI-Design skills are not very well. If somebody got some enhancements, feel free to send me a message or a pull request.
- my code is using the commad "adb -s <device> ls", I didn´t found any note or documentation about this. So there are maybe more hidden adb command. It would be great if someone got an idea how to find them.

Known Issues:

adb freezes while loading files

output shows a failure after successful file movement

Changelog:

v0.3 - 28.08.2012:

white space issues fixed

version number added

about menu added

27.08.2012:

multiple language support added

Thanks to mGi00 for the slovak translation

It doesn't seem to work for me.

adbfileexplorer can't find the adb.
I have placed adbfileexplorer in the same directory as the adb.exe

Windows Onlyc

on ubuntu it opens up the jar as an archive hmm

If you are getting issues trying to run it on Windows 7, just make a batch file to run "java -jar c:\path\to\adbfileexplorer.jar"

Works on Linux

Starts up okay for me on archlinux. Looks like you need to be running Java 7, though.

From command line, I entered:

java -Xmx512m -jar /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/adbfileexplorer.jar

and the adb explorer window opens up fine.

is this problem still persistent? or does adding adb to the path fix it?

Can someone give me feedback if opening files via a double click is working?

no phone and internet - wow

downloaded jar from op onto my windows 7 ultimate pc
plug in smartphone, double click on adbfileexplorer.jar
and it opens up and shows 1 connected device
pulled and pushed - working for me !
thanks!

i also created a shortcut to the jar file
and it opens fine. nothing added in shortcut for adb or java -
just the path to the downloaded adbfileexplorer.jar file

i didn't check, but can you multi-select files ?

Possible bug

Hi there,

The ADB Fileexplorer is working fine with one exeption. When I have on my sdcard a folder named with more than one word (e.g.: New files) the ADB Fileexplorer show only the first word and cant open the folder. It opens only User/Documents ... After I renamed the Folder with "_" (e.g.: New_files) its fine. Is there a way to solve this? I really dont use "_"

Thanks

EDIT: The strings were ment to another app, sorry for that

DareT0Be · Aug 23, 2012

thanks for the feedback and your translations.

I added the "whitespace issue" to my todo list.

multiple language support is a nice idea. But can you please add the english translation as a comment to the strings?

Apology

The strings in my post was ment for another app ... really sorry about that ... but if I can I would love to make some for you as well.

EDIT
Another possible bug:
If I pull (only pull) one file it opens my documents (Win7 x64 machine) but not the Pull Destination which I selected before.

To the translation ... here http://db.tt/Co9U7jJC is a Slovak translation of Buttons of the GUI.
Translated also the logger text ... hope it´s ok to translate this as well.

If you could assemble the program with this translation I would like see the changed text if it´s ok. If ok I´ll do the czech translation ... and maybe an german one

DareT0Be · Aug 27, 2012

Thanks so far

I copied your translations into a xml file, please check out the new version if i copy and pasted everything correct.

Ok there is a issue, can´t find any device ... the old fileexprorer is working still ok but the new one cant find my phones.
EDIT: When I type adb devices I see my devices so there shouldn´t be a problem. The Logs are with the translations.

Also there is a problem with diacritic ... letters as "ť" and "č" aren´t or are wrong displayed. Also the logger has this problem ... I wasn´t using UTF-8 coding ... made an update with UTF-8 the link: http://db.tt/Co9U7jJC

Hope its ok now.
