How to wake up Android with use adb - I want to wake up (if asleep) Android terminal before debugging every new version of application.

Typical flow is: 1. I do some changes in Eclipse. 2. In the meantime screen goes off or not. 3. I run "debug" and want force screen to wake up.

I found a method with "power key" emulation but it does not turn it on but rather toggles the power state. I do not want to add extra code to my application. What are the other methods to do such trivial task, please help.

adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_WAKEUP

As described here, this wakes up the device. Behaves somewhat like KEYCODE_POWER but it has no effect if the device is already awake.

To toggle sleep/wake with one command you can issue 

adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_POWER
