Async listen to client

[davidlip123]

What can we do for you?

Hi, thanks for your aweomse library!
I need some help in async listening to the device connection... this is my code:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    StartAdbServer();

    var deviceMonitor = new DeviceMonitor(new AdbSocket("127.0.0.1", 62001));
    deviceMonitor.DeviceConnected += OnDeviceConnected;
    deviceMonitor.Start();
}

private void StartAdbServer()
{
    if (!AdbServer.Instance.GetStatus().IsRunning)
    {
        AdbServer server = new AdbServer();
        StartServerResult result = server.StartServer(@"C:\Users\Itamar\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe", false);
        if (result != StartServerResult.Started)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Can't start adb server");
        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("started adb server");
        }
    }
}

But I'm getting error with that....
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

And there is device connected indeed...can you give me a clue about what I need to do?

[wherewhere]

This is my code

using AdvancedSharpAdbClient;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net;

StartServerResult startServerResult = await AdbServer.Instance.StartServerAsync(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe", false, default);
Console.WriteLine(startServerResult);

await using DeviceMonitor deviceMonitor = new(new AdbSocket(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Loopback, AdbClient.AdbServerPort)));
deviceMonitor.DeviceConnected += (sender, e) => Console.WriteLine($"Device connected: {e.Device}");
deviceMonitor.DeviceDisconnected += (sender, e) => Console.WriteLine($"Device disconnected: {e.Device}");
deviceMonitor.DeviceChanged += (sender, e) => Console.WriteLine($"Device state changed: {e.Device} {e.OldState} -> {e.NewState}");
await deviceMonitor.StartAsync();

Console.Write("Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey(true);

await AdbServer.Instance.StopServerAsync(default);

And synchronous one

using AdvancedSharpAdbClient;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net;

StartServerResult startServerResult = AdbServer.Instance.StartServer(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe", false);
Console.WriteLine(startServerResult);

using DeviceMonitor deviceMonitor = new(new AdbSocket(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Loopback, AdbClient.AdbServerPort)));
deviceMonitor.DeviceConnected += (sender, e) => Console.WriteLine($"Device connected: {e.Device}");
deviceMonitor.DeviceDisconnected += (sender, e) => Console.WriteLine($"Device disconnected: {e.Device}");
deviceMonitor.DeviceChanged += (sender, e) => Console.WriteLine($"Device state changed: {e.Device} {e.OldState} -> {e.NewState}");
deviceMonitor.Start();

Console.Write("Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey(true);

AdbServer.Instance.StopServer();

@wherewhere thank you so much for response man ;)

I'm using this code:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    Start();
}

public async Task Start()
{
    StartServerResult startServerResult = await AdbServer.Instance.StartServerAsync(@"C:\Users\Itamar\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe", false, CancellationToken.None);
    Trace.WriteLine(startServerResult);

    await using DeviceMonitor deviceMonitor = new(new AdbSocket(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Loopback, AdbClient.AdbServerPort)));
    deviceMonitor.DeviceConnected += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device connected: {e.Device}"); // never reaches here
    deviceMonitor.DeviceDisconnected += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device disconnected: {e.Device}");
    deviceMonitor.DeviceChanged += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device state changed: {e.Device} {e.OldState} -> {e.NewState}");
    await deviceMonitor.StartAsync();

    // await AdbServer.Instance.StopServerAsync(default);
}

The server indeed starts,but it never triggers the DeviceConnected method..... tried few times...and nothing.....
any idea what's wrong here?

Using this sample,indeed works...but as I said I need to listen in the background and handle incoming connections...:

public static void getConnectedDevice()
{
    client = new AdbClient();
    client.ConnectAsync("127.0.0.1:62001");
    device = client.GetDevices().FirstOrDefault();

    Trace.WriteLine(device.Model);
}

I don't know. Are you connected device by USB? Why connected by localhost IP?

[davidlip123]

@wherewhere I used the localhost ip because this is the example you provided...in the github home page....
of course I'm using usb.
Look,i've used nuget pm to install the AdvancedSharpAdbClient,maybe I need to clone the project and add it to my project,since there were changes from the last release?maybe it will solve the problem...?

edit:can you confirm that this code work for you, and the events indeed trigers....?

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    Start();
}

public async Task Start()
{
    StartServerResult startServerResult = await AdbServer.Instance.StartServerAsync(@"C:\Users\Itamar\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe", false, CancellationToken.None);
    Trace.WriteLine(startServerResult); // result is already running

    await using DeviceMonitor deviceMonitor = new(new AdbSocket(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Loopback, AdbClient.AdbServerPort)));
    deviceMonitor.DeviceConnected += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device connected: {e.Device}"); // never reaches here
    deviceMonitor.DeviceDisconnected += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device disconnected: {e.Device}");
    deviceMonitor.DeviceChanged += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device state changed: {e.Device} {e.OldState} -> {e.NewState}");
    await deviceMonitor.StartAsync();

    // await AdbServer.Instance.StopServerAsync(default);
}

Remove the using of DeviceMonitor. You just disposed it when Start method is done.

What device are you using an emulator or a real device?

[davidlip123]

@wherewhere @yungd1plomat ,I'm using real usb connected device...tried on few devices....different chipsets and android versions....and none....

I tried to create a console app in visual studio , and your code indeed works....but When I try to add it to my wpf app....there are no results at all..... what the hell is wrong here?
And another question,When I try to get the device name/ model when in the console app when the DeviceConnected event triggers...I'm getting blank output.... why is it?

deviceMonitor.DeviceConnected += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device connected: {e.Device.Name}");

deviceMonitor.DeviceConnected += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device connected: {e.Device.Name}");

Because track-devices only sends the device serial. If you want to get the device model and name you can use:

var client = new AdbClient();
await using DeviceMonitor deviceMonitor = new(
    new AdbSocket(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Loopback, AdbClient.AdbServerPort)));
deviceMonitor.DeviceConnected += async (s, deviceData) =>
{
    var devices = await client.GetDevicesAsync();
    var device = devices.First(d => d.Serial == deviceData.Device.Serial);
    Trace.WriteLine($"Device connected: {device.Model}");
};
await deviceMonitor.StartAsync();

Or you can directly monitor when device connected like this:

var client = new AdbClient();
var devices = await client.GetDevicesAsync();
while (!devices.Any(x => x.State == DeviceState.Online)) 
{
    Trace.WriteLine("Waiting for device connection..");
    devices = await client.GetDevicesAsync();
    await Task.Delay(1000);
}
var device = devices.FirstOrDefault();
Trace.WriteLine($"Connected {device.Name}");

and you don't need to use client.ConnectAsync("127.0.0.1:62001"); because the real device is connected automatically

@yungd1plomat @wherewhere hey guys, thanks for your response.
This is the current and the only working solution for me:

public async Task Start()
{
    StartAdbServer();
    var client = new AdbClient();
    var devices = await client.GetDevicesAsync();
    while (!devices.Any(x => x.State == DeviceState.Online))
    {
         Trace.WriteLine("Waiting for device connection..");
         devices = await client.GetDevicesAsync();
         await Task.Delay(600);      
    }
    var device = devices.FirstOrDefault();
    String model = device.Model;
}

@yungd1plomat your first example, using the deviceMonitor.DeviceConnected event didn't work for me, and that event never triggers, feel free to try it yourself, in and wpf app (not in a console).
I need to register a DeviceDisconnected event.... is there a solution for me? (Again, in wpf app :))
Thank you so so much for your kind response sir!

Mybe you need to know what's using and what's await...

[davidlip123]

Mybe you need to know what's using and what's await...

I know sir...I'm developing few years in c#...I know await uses for async functions,and using is for resources managment.... it doesn't answer my question..... you are invited to try it yourself and see that I'm right.... :(

[wherewhere]

public async Task Start()
{
    StartServerResult startServerResult = await AdbServer.Instance.StartServerAsync(@"C:\Users\Itamar\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe", false, CancellationToken.None);
    Trace.WriteLine(startServerResult); // result is already running

    await using DeviceMonitor deviceMonitor = new(new AdbSocket(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Loopback, AdbClient.AdbServerPort)));
    deviceMonitor.DeviceConnected += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device connected: {e.Device}"); // never reaches here
    deviceMonitor.DeviceDisconnected += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device disconnected: {e.Device}");
    deviceMonitor.DeviceChanged += (sender, e) => Trace.WriteLine($"Device state changed: {e.Device} {e.OldState} -> {e.NewState}");
    await deviceMonitor.StartAsync();

    // await AdbServer.Instance.StopServerAsync(default);
}

So why you disposed the monitor?
