😈
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
devil (device interaction layer) is a library used by the Chromium developers to
|
||
|
|
interact with Android devices. It currently supports SDK level 16 and above.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Interfaces
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
devil provides python APIs:
|
||
|
|
- [`devil.android.adb_wrapper`](docs/adb_wrapper.md) provides a thin wrapper
|
||
|
|
around the adb binary. Most functions and methods have direct analogues on
|
||
|
|
the adb command-line.
|
||
|
|
- [`devil.android.device_utils`](docs/device_utils.md) provides higher-level
|
||
|
|
functionality built on top of `adb_wrapper`. **This is the primary
|
||
|
|
mechanism through which chromium's scripts interact with devices.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Utilities
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
devil also provides command-line utilities:
|
||
|
|
- [`devil/utils/markdown.py`](docs/markdown.md) generated markdown
|
||
|
|
documentation for python modules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Constraints and Caveats
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
devil is used with python 2.7. Its compatibility with python 3 has not been
|
||
|
|
tested, and neither achieving nor maintaining said compatibility is currently
|
||
|
|
a priority.
