Requirements

• Python3 (below version 3.8 not tested)

sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-pyqt5  # For Linux Ubuntu
pip install PyQt5 libusb1 adb-shell

• adb (binary) should exist in project root folder or in $PATH

Launch

1. Clone the repo
2. cd ADBFileExplorer
3. Edit settings.json from the project root if necessary. src/app/settings.json

{
  "adb_path": "adb",
//  "adb_core": "external",
  "adb_kill_server_at_exit": false,
  "preserve_timestamp": true,
  "adb_run_as_root": false
}

• adb_path - Full adb path or just 'adb' if the executable is in $PATH
• adb_core - Set to 'external' to use external adb executable, otherwise the app will use adb-shell

# First install python-venv in root folder. It should be like ADBFileExplorer/venv
pip install -r requirements.txt
run.bat # To start application on Windows
bash run.sh # To start application on Linux...

Attention

Application uses by default adb-shell. There may be problems with listing, pushing, or pulling files using adb-shell. For a better experience, try adding "adb_core": "external" to settings.json.
