I wish to send an adb shell command to an Android device that pipes output from 1 command to other command, but when I try to do that, only the 1st command is executed on the device, and the 2nd one is executed on the host machine. Here's what I tried:
adb shell command1 | command2
command1 is executed on the device, and command2 on the host machine.
How can I get this to work properly?
Thanks!

The | command is called a pipe. It is used to pipe, or transfer, the standard output from the command on its left into the standard input of the command on its right. # First, echo "Hello World" will send Hello World to the standard output.
But, in order to execute several commands in one line, you may use adb shell "cmd1;cmd2;cmd3" .
Android Shell Commands. ADB is Android Debug Bridge which is a command line utility included with Google's Android SDK. It provides a terminal interface to control your Android device connected to a computer using a USB. ADB can be used to run shell commands, transfer files, install/uninstall apps, reboot and more.
You could use something like this:
adb shell "command1 | command2"
