devtools

Do you use the developer options on your android device? Like "show overdraw" or "show layout bounds"? Wouldn't it be handy to switch those tools on and off via command line? via devtools you can switch:

• date (manipulating the date and time)
• gfx (profile gpu rendering)
• layout (show layout bounds)
• overdraw
• updates (show screen updates) on and off via command line. Works on emulators and devices. And, yes: it will control multiple devices at once.

Usage

devtools [-d | -e | -s <serialNumber>] command [command-options]

Options

-d                      Direct an adb command to the only attached USB device.
                        Returns an error if more than one USB device is attached.

-e                      Direct an adb command to the only running emulator instance.
                        Returns an error if more than one emulator instance is running.

-s <serialNumber>       Direct an adb command a specific emulator/device instance, referred to by its adb-assigned serial number.
                        Directing Commands to a Specific Emulator/Device Instance.
