(Based on androidtv/adb_manager.py <https://github.com/JeffLIrion/python-androidtv/blob/133063c8d6793a88259af405d6a69ceb301a0ca0/androidtv/adb_manager.py#L67>_)
.. code-block:: python
from adbshell.adbdevice import AdbDeviceTcp, AdbDeviceUsb from adbshell.auth.signpythonrsa import PythonRSASigner
# Load the public and private keys adbkey = 'path/to/adbkey' with open(adbkey) as f: priv = f.read() with open(adbkey + '.pub') as f: pub = f.read() signer = PythonRSASigner(pub, priv)
# Connect device1 = AdbDeviceTcp('192.168.0.222', 5555, defaulttransporttimeouts=9.) device1.connect(rsakeys=[signer], authtimeouts=0.1)
# Connect via USB (package must be installed via pip install adb-shell[usb])
device2 = AdbDeviceUsb()
device2.connect(rsakeys=[signer], authtimeout_s=0.1)
# Send a shell command response1 = device1.shell('echo TEST1') response2 = device2.shell('echo TEST2')
Generate ADB Key Files
If you need to generate a key, you can do so as follows.
