How do I execute an adb command in Android Studio? [duplicate]

Question

For example, I want to execute this command from this tutorial:

$ adb shell monkey -p your.package.name -v 500 

How do I do it? Where do I enter the command? I've tried entering it into the terminal but it says that '$' is not recognized.

I also tried removing '$' but it then says that "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

Answer 1

$ isn't part of the command. Use adb shell monkey -p your.package.name -v 500

adb is the command you ran on your terminal. For example:

adb devices 

shows you the connected devices.

adb shell 

Starts a remote shell in the target emulator/device instance.
