Same workflow, now with
Android capabilities

Operating alongside your coding agent, Android CLI provides a unified interface for interacting with Android tools, devices, workflows, skills and up-to-date platform guidelines. You can execute these same commands seamlessly from terminal sessions, automated scripts, or CI pipelines.

Essential commands in a single interface

Download Android CLI

Capture what's on screen

Use screen capture --annotate to capture the running app and label detected UI elements for developers and agents to inspect.

Debug layouts

Use android layout to return the active app's layout tree as JSON from a connected physical device or emulator.

Bring Android Studio analysis to the terminal

Access file analysis, declaration lookup, usage discovery, and Compose preview rendering from the command line.

Manage Virtual Devices

Create, manage, and run Android Virtual Devices or connect via Android Device Streaming directly from your terminal.

Integrates into your workflow
