How to list all the files in android phone by using adb shell?
I just try to write a bash shell for my Android Phone.
When I want list all the files in my Android Phone. I found that the Android shell terminal doesn't support find command.
So I just want to know which is the best way to travel the sdcard files?
Answer
I might be wrong but "find -name __" works fine for me. (Maybe it's just my phone.) If you just want to list all files, you can try
adb shell ls -R /
You probably need the root permission though.
Edit:
As other answers suggest, use ls with grep like this:
adb shell ls -Ral yourDirectory | grep -i yourString
eg.
adb shell ls -Ral / | grep -i myfile
-i is for ignore-case. and / is the root directory.
