Does Android SDK include adb?

adb is included in the Android SDK Platform-Tools package. You can download this package with the SDK Manager, which installs it at android_sdk /platform-tools/ . Or if you want the standalone Android SDK Platform-Tools package, you can download it here.

Do you need Android Studio for adb?

adb stands for the “Android Debug Bridge,” which is a command line utility that is the debug multitool for Android. Typically it's installed via Android Studio when you install the Android SDK under platform-tools , but it takes some amount of setup for your operating system to know to look there.

Installing ADB in windows without Download Android SDK

  1. Firstly, you'll need a program that can partially download contents of zip files from the internet.
  2. Once that's set up, go to the SDK download page and grab the link to the SDK.
  3. In the zip file, navigate to "android-sdk-windows\tools"
  4. From there, select only "adb.exe", "AdbWinApi.dll" and "AdbWinUsbApi.dll"
  5. Download.
