I am trying to execute adb commands in an automated way from python script. Please note that I am using python 2.7 in Windows.
If I manually do it, the sequence is like this:

C:Projectpython>adb shell

login:<enter login id e.g. root>

Password: <enter password e.g. test>

Last login: Thu Feb  9 12:29:46 UTC 2017 on pts/0

~ # date

date

Thu Feb  9 12:55:06 UTC 2017

I am trying to handle this sequence from python script. I have tried using subprocess.call("adb shell date") but it fails saying that cannot execute commands without logging in. I am not sure how to to pass the login id and password. Sorry for the noob question, as I am very new to Python.

Appreciate your help guys !!

Cheers

Try subprocess.Popen:

import subprocess



cmd_input = """<enter login id e.g. root>

<enter password e.g. test>

date"""



process = subprocess.Popen(

    "adb shell",

    shell=True,

    stdin=subprocess.PIPE,

    stdout=subprocess.PIPE

)

process.communicate()

for i in cmd_input.split("n"):

    process.communicate(i + "n")

Or:

process = subprocess.Popen(

    "adb shell",

    shell=True,

    stdin=subprocess.PIPE,

    stdout=subprocess.PIPE

)

process.communicate(user + "n")

process.communicate(pwd + "n")

process.communicate(cmd + "n")

Another option is to use google/python-adb or adb via pip

I was getting below error with process.communicate('command_to_sendn')

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Using the subprocess communicate command in below way resolved the TypeError:

process.communicate(b'input keyevent KEYCODE_CALLn')
