Showing both "adb status-window" and "adb logcat" on the same terminal

Question

I am attempting to get the adb status-window command to display anything useful, however it appears to be just showing the following:

Android Debug Bridge
State: device

At first, I figured it was because the resource was busy with an existing operation adb logcat, but stopping this failed to fix the issue.

This is for a device that is outside of my local machine and is being used under adb over WiFi.

Is it possible to have these two commands at once? Does the status-window work remotely? Why would this not display?

Thanks for looking into this as no real reference was available after some considerable searching.

Answer 1

Based on my testing, adb status-window will continuously monitor the status of the ADB (whether it's connected to a device or not). While it's active, connecting a device will show

Android Debug Bridge
State: device

and disconnecting it will show

Android Debug Bridge
State: unknown

On the other hand, adb logcat also continuously monitors the log from the device. As far as I know, you can't run both of them on the same terminal (tested on Windows' command prompt, though I don't have any idea on other OS). The only workaround is to use multiple terminals to run each command.

So, to answer your questions directly,

Is it possible to have these two commands at once?

AFAIK, no, on Windows' command prompt, but maybe possible with some tricks on others.

Does the status-window work remotely?

Yes.

Why would this not display?

Because it continuously monitor the status of the ADB.
