ADB.exe

[hav0c]

Sorry for the noob question but when I download the latests SDK there is no ADB.exe file in the tools directory anymore.

How do I start ADB with the latest SDK release?

What are your folders once extracted? It will be in one of them!

do you mean it was there an now its gone??

also have you hooked up phone(charge only) to usb, opened command prompt and type adb devices to see if adb starts? cause it may just be placed in different folder in sdk. think it does in new sdk but can't remember which folder doh .

This is the content of my tools folder:

cat ls.txt 
android
ant
apkbuilder
ddms
dmtracedump
draw9patch
emulator
etc1tool
hierarchyviewer
hprof-conv
layoutopt
lib
ls.txt
mksdcard
monkeyrunner
NOTICE.txt
proguard
source.properties
sqlite3
traceview
zipalign

(Same content in my SDK folder in Windows. No ADB.exe..)

 

[cattleprod]

have you try to run adb in cmd.exe ?



have a look in platform-tools folder it were im finding adb but im on linux mint right now but should be same

 

[hav0c]

I don't have that folder.

If I download the SDK (zip) from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html adb.exe is not in it..

Is that the same for you guys?

no thats were i downloaded from, both windows and linux hold on il go into windows an have a look but have you try running adb you can only start it in command prompt (cmd.exe) if your using windows xp. just right click in any windows from menu choose command prompt,plug phone to usb,make sure you have usb debugging on in phone(setting>application >development) and then type adb devices and see itf adb starts for you.
try doing this.

 

[cattleprod]

yeah its in platform-tools folder and you can find this in the main folder of the android-sdk-windows folder

check it out it there

Platform-tools doesn't come with the sdk by default if I recall correctly. You need to run the sdk manager and select it as an optional component to download. I'm a long way from my computer right now so I can't double check for you sorry.

Looks like it's all change since the version I downloaded when I got my Hero last year.

Taken from the SDK Readme in the latest SDK download, confirming what has been said above:

Welcome to the Android SDK!

The Android SDK archive now only contains the tools. It no longer comes
populated with a specific Android platform or Google add-on. Instead you
use the SDK Manager to install or update SDK components such as platforms,
tools, add-ons, and documentation.

In order to start developing applications, you must install at least one
version of the Android platform using the SDK Manager.

This requires an Internet connection, so if you plan to use the SDK
offline, please make sure to download the necessary components while online.

To start the SDK Manager, please execute the program "SDK Setup.exe".

From the command-line you can also directly trigger an update by
executing:
tools\android.bat update sdk

For more information, please consult the Android web site at
http://developer.android.com

Is someone going to just solve the mystery?

Lots of talk

So bottom line, will someone just solve the mystery.

1) If it is installed with SDK where is it and why does search not find it.
2) If it is NOT installed where do we get it.

Thanks

You have to install platform tools from "sdk manager.exe".....adb will be under the platform-tools folder after that

Don't search for it. Go to the directory and look for it. Windows search is a joke

I have done that as well and find to trace of that file? I use a third party search which is better than windows search...does not exist c:/android/***** which is the install directory for the SDK.


Again...if it is not there where do I get it?

As already stated, it is not installed with the SDK by default. In the tools folder there's a text file called "adb_has_moved.txt" which tells you that you need to launch the SDK and install "Android SDK Platform-tools" to get it. Like chrisz5z said.
