How to send custom adb commands through your server?

[unofficialdev]

Hello developers, I am new to scrcpy, this is a great application because of the speed of its communication with android devices. I am using c # to automate android.
I am wanting to go through a scrcpy server to improve the speed of sending custom commands to an android device. I finished starting up the scrcpy server from the c# code associated with the SharpAdbClient library.

My problem is not knowing how to send custom adb commands. For example: uiautomator dump/dev/tty and get the device's xml layout. or send touch commands, swipe in custom position. or adb command to take individual screenshots (only 1 image at a time) ...
Is there any example code or documentation to do the above? any example code or documentation is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Basically, scrcpy does not receive adb commands, but custom commands, which are reimplemented in java (using reflection to access Android framework).

More documentation:

It is possible to send adb command to get the ui dump while scrcpy is running.

1. Run open_a_terminal_here.bat to open an another command prompt. (inorder to use same adb.exe as scrcpy)
2. Type any adb command to do whatever you want.

• Get the ui dump.

adb exec-out uiautomator dump && adb pull /sdcard/window_dump.xml && adb shell rm /sdcard/window_dump.xml

• Take a screen shot

adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/capture.png && adb pull /sdcard/capture.png && adb shell rm /sdcard/capture.png

It worked on my Android 9 environment.
@rom1v Thank you very much for sherering such a wonderful tool by the way.
