adb push/pull with progress bar

Question

It is really annoying if you adb push/pull large files to the device that there's no way to now how far along it is. Is it possible to run adb push or adb pull and get a progress bar using the 'bar' utility?

The main issue here is I think that adb expects two file names, if the input file could be replaced by stdin you could pipe through the 'bar' utility and get a progress bar. So far I haven't succeeded in doing so, but I'm not really a shell guru which is why I'm asking here :)

Note that I'm on Linux using bash.

Answer 1

It looks like the latest adb has progress support.

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32
device commands:
adb push [-p] <local> <remote>
    - copy file/dir to device
    ('-p' to display the transfer progress)

However, the answers above also work for 'adb install' which do not have a progress option. I modified the first answer's script to work this way:

Create "adb-install.sh" somewhere in your PATH and run "adb-install.sh " instead of "adb install -f "

#!/bin/bash
# adb install with progressbar displayed
# usage: <adb-install.sh> <file.apk>
# original code from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6595374/adb-push-pull-with-progress-bar

function usage()
{
    echo "$0 <apk to install>"
    exit 1
}

function progressbar()
{
    bar="================================================================================"
    barlength=${#bar}
    n=$(($1*barlength/100))
    printf "\r[%-${barlength}s] %d%%" "${bar:0:n}" "$1"
    # echo -ne "\b$1"
}

export -f progressbar

[[ $# < 1 ]] && usage

SRC=$1

[ ! -f $SRC ] && { \
    echo "source file not found"; \
    exit 2; \
}

which adb >/dev/null 2>&1 || { \
    echo "adb doesn't exist in your path"; \
    exit 3; \
}

SIZE=$(ls -l $SRC | awk '{print $5}')
export ADB_TRACE=all

adb install -r $SRC 2>&1 \
    | sed -n '/DATA/p' \
    | awk -v T=$SIZE 'BEGIN{FS="[=:]"}{t+=$7;system("progressbar " sprintf("%d\n", t/T*100))}'

export ADB_TRACE=

echo

echo 'press any key'
read n
