File Transfer Operations

These functions are useful to send and receive files with the device and install and uninstall packages.

Push File (adb push filePath devicePath)

int push_file(char* device, char* port, char* filePath, char* devicePath, int stdout_fd, int stderr_fd);

Function to send files or directories from local filePath to devicePath.

Push File Synchronization (adb push --sync filePath devicePath)

int push_sync_file(char* device, char* port, char* filePath, char* devicePath, int stdout_fd, int stderr_fd);

Function to send files or directories from local filePath to devicePath, but only the files that are newer on the host that the device.

Pull File (adb pull filePath devicePath)

int pull_file(char* device, char* port, char* filePath, char* devicePath, int stdout_fd, int stderr_fd);

This function is used to copy files or directories from devicePath to filePath.

Install & Uninstall Package

int install_package(char* device, char* port, char* filePath, int stdout_fd, int stderr_fd);
int uninstall_package(char* device, char* port, char* packageName, int keepData, int stdout_fd, int stderr_fd);

Install function allows us to install a package located at filePath to our device, uninstall function allows us to uninstall a package called packageName. If keepData = 1, the uninstaller is going to keep the data and cache directories.

Install Package Atomically

int install_multi_package(char* device, char* port, char* filePath, char* args, int stdout_fd, int stderr_fd);

Same function as install_package the main difference is that installs a package atomically. You can also add more arguments with args, for example "-r --instant".
